Honest Opinion Time My Friends.... New Headlights (Picture Heavy)

Lol... yours look good on your truck. You don't need them

Your truck looks badass by the way!

 

Nice headlights...

I wasn't impressed with my light output tho and took on the task of finding a way to make morimoto minis fit in place of the crappy stock ones. now I have the looks i wanted as well as now having the quality and performance of quality retros. Plus.. they are one of a kind.

 

I say do an HID retro. The output from Flea-bay headlights are horrible.

 

I would normally agree with you but these are Anzo lights that I got off Amazon (not that, that makes any difference) and though not "quite" the output of the factory lights they are plenty bright with a good pattern. I do agree that most of the lights you see on ebay are shit though and you get what you pay for.

 

You just said it yourself "not quite" the output.

They are ebay lights. I've used tons of ebay lights in the past. They look cool, but that is the only reason to get them.

I personally don't see why you would spend money to downgrade your light output.. I'm just glad its not my money.

 

Valid point.

 

You can do what Moose1988 did and retro them.. It's a ton of work but his output on his headlights is great and it looks snappy too!

 

shhhh...

 

Oh believe me... my original intention was to put a HID kit on them if I decided to keep them. Well, that's not completely true. My original intention was to Retro the other set of Anzo's that I have in the Buy/Sell/Trade section. I bought these on a spur of the moment buy while buying other shit on Amazon. But, after using these for a few weeks, I don't have a issue with the output and don't really feel like messing with them. I don't disagree with your point though. To me, it is form with slightly "less" function.

 

Lol... Well now I have too

 

If you get curious check my build. You'll see just a fraction of the shit I went through. Ill be buried with these damn headlights. Lol

 

Lol... Yeah, I'll do a Retro on my factory lights before I do those. Good job though!

 

Thanks man.

 

I like the new lights. Great looking truck !

so even though these don't say they are anzo, do you think they're the same exact thing?

 

Looks clean but not my cup of tea!

 

Thanks!

Look the same to me in the picture. I'm just telling you my experience with the lights that I bought that came in a Anzo box. Are they the same lights sold under different names? Probably... and your point? GMC and Chevy trucks are the same truck.

 

very true lol

 

Okay... So I finally remembered to take a picture of the headlights at night. I've got them adjusted now just like I want them. I did a little more horizontal adjustment and it seemed to lower the "right side angle" of each light to just about right. I'm pretty happy with the cut off line.

As you can tell, they aren't quite as bright as the stock lights but not by much.

Low beam no fog

That's not bad. Here is a shot of my low and high beams from the drivers seat and the garage doors are about 25 ft away for comparison.
