Looking to get some new headlights and I’m torn between the black and chrome. Which one should I get or should I just leave the stock ones??? Any and all opinions will be helpful, so don’t hold back. Going on this.....

They’re on eBay. As long as you don’t have stock projectors they’ll work.

I kept the stock headlights and got new bulbs. The bulb upgrade was more helpful than I thought it would be. I like the look of some aftermarket headlights but every time I see a set I think... Alteeza! Nothing dates a vehicle like a set of 2 fast 2 furious Alteeza tail lights. Cool look today - Autozone look next year.

Need some pics of the front of the vehicle. I was thinking chrome since you have the chrome bumper, but you also have a fair bit of black on the truck as well.

That’s exactly why I can’t decide between the two. We’re thinking alike on this one...

Black headlights and get rid of the chrome bumper ASAP. Either have it color matched or plastidip it black until you get funds to either color match or get a black offroad bumper.

Thanks for all the replies, I like the chrome that’s on the truck currently so that won’t be going anywhere. If I do it I’ll probably lean towards the black ones.

If you like it, rock it. It's hard to tell in your pics, but it looks like your grille surround and crosshairs are black? That's why I made the suggestion I did, 3 contrasting colors is too much imo. If your surround isncolor matched, then I'd keep the chrome headlights if you're keeping the chrome bumper. Same thought applies, chrome bumper+color+black headlights would contrast too much.

Ok so I finally decided on the black ones. So far I really like them (haven’t had them out at night to see if the visibility is good) I changed out the grille to the black one and also plasti-dipped the inner cross hairs to give it some contrast. Now comes the newest issue.....some people have suggested killing all the chrome, which I was totally against!!! But now as I look at it... i think that might just have to be the next thing on the list. 2e0250baf7983d8cdc365342fc178b94.jpg
