Need some opinions on headlights......

One of my Silverstar bulbs "blew up" inside my factory passenger side headlight and it left a "haze" on the inside of the lens. Thre is also bits and pieces of bulb embedded into the lens so it's time for a replacement. Since I've got black accessories on my truck right now, I'd like some black headlights; I think.

How do you guys think the truck would look with black headlights? As of now, there is no step-bars or bull-bar like there is in the picture. I'm about to order a black light bar from Defiant and I'm thinking of powdercoating the grille(s) black as well. I think the black headlights would blend perfectly; I just need some support!!

Well I had the chrome projector's when they first came out, but had to sell them because I needed the money. It was back to stock and I haven't changed since then. Now I have tried using the bright box, HID's, Silverstars, etc.

I think so too. I'll probably just go with the black projectors and some smoked fog lights in addition to the powdercoated grill(s).

That is actually my factory shell. I have a sport model and the whole front-end is painted body color including the grill surround. I did have to cut it up although it wasn't too hard.

Dang it, someone always ends up doing my ideas before i get to. Thats why i asked you about your grille earlier. I was planning on getting one and either painting it or powdercoating it black along with blacking out the fog lights (havent actually looked into this yet, just an idea i had) and painting the headlights. Man i hate being broke.
