    It's all good I understand. I am just giving you a hard time. Any chance you can throw out an ETA on the lights?

    Going on 4 months now for me :(...if it'll make it quicker just go buy a brand new set. Also I'll go with Red projectors.

    I want to get these done so bad!! Just waiting on my truck to arrive to the dealership.

    Question, for the majority, do you send your headlights to him a receive a loaner set or do you buy new ones from Burt?

    Nice meeting you too. Excited to get those lights going. I like doing things a little different.

    :)

    2005-2011 most buy aftermarket DEPO lights
    2012-2013 most buy new OEM headlights

    I bought a set of the depot lights (05-11) from Burt. Once they are delivered and installed I'll sell my OEM smoked lights in the B/S/T area.
    For the guys with the 12s-13s I believe it was a shortage of OEM lights so it was a core exchange type thing going on IIRC.

    Thanks for the info. I'm debating on just paying Burt for new OEM lights to retrofit and just sell mine here like you stated.

    New OEM's from Burt...whenever he gets time to get everything together. I was hoping it would be quicker this way.

    Add the depo headlights to your order if you go with burt. It's one of the options listed in the first post.
