    Thanks! I might just take you up on your offer. It would save me some money and I could learn how to change my lights out in case I ever had to do it again. I just have to find the right headlights since mine seem to be slightly different than the ebay links given in the first post. I'll let you know.

    Try rockauto.com - they carry just about every part imaginable and have great prices. The headlight assembly will be listed under 'body-exterior'

    If your truck has the same headlights as mine I still have my old stock lights. They're is good shape, a little hazy but good. If we can be sure they'd fit they're yours for the cost of shipping.
