    Sweet! That convinced me to get them. I ordered from Amazon and got them for $62 to my door. Got them from this link because that way there shipping directly from Amazon.

    I put a complete set of the ones you have pictured on my 04 about a month ago. I love the look. After reading a few posts about these I drilled a couple of drain holes before I mounted them, no problem with fogging as of yet. I have noticed that the black inside the headlight is coming off to the point of the whitish plastic underneath is coming through now. Not happy about that. One note..The tint of the darkened lens do lessen the brightness of the headlights to the point of upgrading to a brighter bulb, at least it did for me.

    Well I sealed them up with silicone before installing and haven't seen a drop of water or fog in the headlights yet. To be honest the beam pattern hasn't been very good. I don't know if that's because the bulbs that came in the headlights are bad or if it's the headlight itself. Planning to buy some Phillips xtreme bulbs to see what that does. I'll try and get some pics for you after work.

    Thanks for info, My OCD gets the better of me... New headlights really make a difference in the appearance of the truck.

    Will be popping for these next pay day! Again, Thank you for your input..

    Thanks for the pics!!!!! They do look real Good!!!!! To me, having dulled, yellowish lens really ages a vehicle. When they are nice & clear, it just makes the truck seem well cared for and changes the entire front end of it..

    I will be ordering them soon....
    Again Thank you!
