    Well, I got the clear BHLM light housings that someone linked last week. I have to say that I am very pleased with them. I have done the mod myself in the past, but the lights fogged up after about 2 years. I hope these hold up. They seem to be every bit as nice as the factory housings. I didn't check the light output because I used all the same(factory) bulbs.
    Here are the picks...

    Looks good.

    I have done the mod in the past on my old truck and had terrible condensation issues as well, to the point of water pooling in the headlight. Worst part was the bulb would get so hot and if the water was to slosh inside the headlight it would burst the bulb. And never seemed to notice until I was on some backroad or wheelin' with only one headlight....

    Have you used them at night yet? What brand are they if you don't mind me asking? The reason I ask is I bought some Anzo's when I had my 2011 and the light output sucked compared to the stock housings. I mean horrible. They looked identical but the way they were designed inside must have been different than stock. Never could get them right. Ended up just scrapping them and did the BHLM with great results.

    Great looking truck BTW :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the compliments everybody.
    No, I have not tried them at night yet. I aim them when it gets dark tonight. Not sure of the brand, but it says Eagle Eyes on the bottom of the lenses. Maybe that's it.

    Hows the beam pattern? I've had non oem headlights before and there were so many hotspots and uneven lighting. Just like RearViewMirror was saying, they look like OEM, but the internal bowls just weren't the same.

    Beam pattern time is pretty good. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my headligh pattern. I stare at the throw whenever I drive to make sure it's even. Took me awhile to align them but no gy spots. I have silverstar ultras in them. Not as bright as I thought they would I be but def better than oem.
