They fit right? 06 have the amber strip bulb, but can I just get rid of that?
Found an oem set of 08 headlights on craigslist for $25... perfect candidate for painting and some halos. That way I can still drive my truck lol

Could I use the wiring for the amber strip to power the halos?

Lastly, where do I get halos big enough? The headlight ring is almost 7" diameter... biggest halo I can find is 160mm, or about 6 1/3"

Yep they'll fit. Not sure about the halos. JJ could answer all that though.

Yes, I put 07 heads on my 2006 back in the day. I used the amber bulb harness and replaced the bulb with a clear and used it to illuminate the engine bay. haha

You could run a halo off that market light.

Sweet. Think I'm gonna grab them. Not sure what I'll do with the amber bulb line yet tho. Don't want to spend $200 for led rings the size our headlights have, so I'm looking for other options lol. I have to redo the clear a bit, but they're way better than mine. I think I'll do the spray tint too.

What's the best light bulb style to go with on a tinted headlight without spending hundreds?

I used an 08 headlight on mine. Just pulled the marker light bulb out and put tape over the socket to keep crap out of it.
