    Is there a 1 piece headlight assembly (headlight and side marker) like the 2nd gens? Ive looked on Amazon but the ones they have say they are in the ballpark of 11x12x14.5 and the ones for the 1st gens are 8x8x4 ish.

    Nope. First gen head lights are separate from marker lights.

    There is. Spyders. But, they're not that great of quality. I've gone through two sets. Unless you plan to do a retrofit. Even then, the internals are cheap and prone to breaking. Not to mention the clear coat peeling.

    These ones. That's all that is available as a one piece unit. The light output is not as great. And are prone to leaking. They would be 'ok' if you resealed them, and clear coated them before install. Or even doing a retrofit in them. But again, they won't last nearly as long as the oem type. They might be ok on a street queen. But off roading or rough roads will take its toll on them. My reflectors have broken loose off one of the pivot balls. And are yellowed and the trim is cracked and peeling. I'm doing another retrofit with new ones. Plan to clear coat them and take extra care. Seehow long this pair will last before I go back to the two piece units.

    Better just to break bread and get some quality retrofits. They don't have to be the most expensive ones.
