Black factory headlight swap.

ColdSeven · Mar 5, 2017

I have a 2013 Express, looking to swap the factory chrome bezel lights with OEM style black headlights. I'm having trouble finding a pair of black OEM either stock or replicas....any advice on where to find some?

eBay/Amazon?

Lots of options.

I've found tons of different ones on amazon, I guess my confusion is between the different style of "OEM" headlights....not including the projector lights is there two other lights that were offered with a black bezel?

Try forum vendor allmoparparts.com. You're looking for 68270496AC and 68270497AC. https://parts.allmoparparts.com/aut...ngine/electrical-cat/headlamp-components-scat

Even though it says w/projector w/sport, these are black quads NOT projectors.

Thanks Swine, I've found some that have the quads and some with a 2 compartment setup and wasn't sure what would've been OEM

Thy both are oem. Express trucks come with what is commonly referred to as "duals", and higher level trucks come with "quads". Then you also know about the projectors.

2013+ Express come with quads.

Thanks for the info everyone, I knew about the quads and projectors from looking around here and other places but I wasn't sure if the duals were aftermarket only or if it came on R/Ts only. My 2013 has the chrome quads, does that mean I have to swap with black quads or would black duals be fine?

Dials and quads are interchangeable. But, the quads perform better and I think they look better too. I'd try to stay with those if you can.

I bough these off eBay. Like them a lot and were pretty cheap too. The included halogen bulbs are a a bit weak (as expected), I'm planning to replace with HID kit in the spring.

Sorry for the crappy sideways photo as I'm posting on ipad..

Thanks, I think I'll probably pick up a set of the quads cause I think they look better also.

For anyone looking for black quads, here is a set that come with Clear corners already installed in them. The oem quads come with orange/amber reflectors but these come with Clear corners.

Im wanting to get the same oem light with the black bezel and clear lense. I guess the quads are what i have now. I thought with bascically the same headlight there would be no wiring differences but somebody told me i would have to install some wiring harnesses. Is that true if i just want to swap out the headlight and not the bulbs?

These came in Thursday, now to install

The only time you have to do anything other than plug em in is if you add halos or hids
