    Can someone point me in the right direction so I can install my aftermarket halogen headlights and fog lights? They said they were just plug in play but I was hoping for some detail so I don't ruin something

    Are you just trying to replace the bulbs or the entire headlight and fog light assembly?

    This. Either way you can do the swap in less than 30 min. Housings or bulbs.

    Just finished playing around with these lights. Installed some new fogs and headlights. I have a question about my stock lights tho.
    These are my stock fog lights...

    I am kinda curious what the stuff all over the left bulb is? It was falling everywhere and I am worried it is something serious.. Is it just dirt?

    Also, can I sell my stock bulbs?

    You could sell them, but they arent worth anything. New stock bulbs are super cheap.

    You can easily slide up under your truck and turn the thing that holds the bulb counter clockwise (I think, idk the name of it) and it just slides out.. (look up the correct way to turn it so you don't break anything). then all you do is unclip the stock bulb and slide on the new one. I was yanking on mine at first then I realized there was something to press in and it releases the bulb.
