Ok so I just bought some hids for my teuck and I'm thinking while I got the headlights out I might just paint them up like I did my 3rd gen... Paint has been holding up very nicely on them and they haven't condensed any more than they already have so I'm pretty confident I can't mess these up lol..

For the chop can you do the headlight in the mg in one and then I black in the other, thank you in advance!!!

And ps, you can tint the side markers black in both:D or should I leave them alone?? I think am do black

I don't think I'd go all black on it. Not with your chrome grill, and 2 other body colors.

And.........get ready. The 02-05s open nice........but the 4th gens, have fun! Might not be bad on an 09, where the lights have been out in the sun for a few years - but still......a LOT more effort than the 02-05s.

Definitely allot some time for it when you won't need to drive the truck (don't rush it in other words). I'd definitely do them MG, then tint the reflector with a couple coats of VHT Nightshades.

I'd say pull the reflector, and leave em chrome.

Get you some LED switchbacks or other bulb that doesn't look orange and call it good.
