im looking at buying new ones as it is but the ones i want are a bit more expensive and im still recuping from the actual purchase of the truck....that set me back. 02 03 04 05 DODGE RAM 1500 2500 3500 HEADLIGHTS & LED TAIL LIGHTS BLACK | eBay
thats what im looking for and following it up with matching 3rd brake light and fog lights.

these are the ones I am getting for mine...I like the clear corners rather than the amber. I am not too big of a fan of LED tails...I want to get my stockers tinted. I am hoping to find a used pair on Craigslist and send them to JJ to have tinted.

TBS...as in throttle body spacer? you can go ahead and uninstall that and use it as a paper weight...it will add NO performance gain to your truck.

its a lot easier with high quality tint. doesnt crease or wrinkle or any of that mess as easy and its heavier so makes it a lot more manageable
