    I like the light output on my stock headlights, but I want them to be black. Should I consider buying new, black housings, or trying to tint the headlights by hand. Wither way im tired of looking at the same old yellow lights.:crazy:
    Suggestions?

    Most people would recommend doing the BHLM yourself in order to retain beam quality that you may otherwise lose a bit of when going the aftermarket route. If you do choose to go aftermarket, Depo and TYC are probably the best quality.

    Edit: Looks like you have a '98 so that link wouldn't apply to you.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Buy new ones that you like. Some of the blacked out ones are killer looking and make your truck look new!
