Anyone have these on their truck?

Would like to do something different with the headlights on my truck and since I've got smoked recons all the way around I thought these might look good. Anyone have these headlights on their truck? Pictures? Are they easy to swap out or do you need to rewire anything? How are they holding up? Thanks a lot!

I'm actually ordering a simular set on Wed. I've asked on another board and another guy had a set like them. He said you use the stock wiring for the bulbs and the halo's and led's get wired in with the parking lights. I was thinking of wiring them seperate on a switch so I dont have to have them on all the time.

Would be interested to see how you like them when you get them. Where are you getting yours?

I'd like to see how they work also. I've been considering putting the Hella 80/100W in mine.

I'm getting them off Ebay also. I found some just like those except the lights are not staggered, they are in line like the stock ones, but still have the halo's, led's, black background and such. They were listed at $150ish. I've also found some rear tails and 3rd brake light I wanna get. Anyways yea, I'll get pics and junk when I get them and put 'em on.

Looks similar to what Wiggs has, no?

I have his old "nightrunner" style lights with HIDs. I like em, something different.

Here's a picture of my truck somebody photoshoped for me with the lights I want. My lower bumper and wheels are still chrome but plan on blacking them out also. I just noticed they forgot to do my cablights....oh well lol.

Looks like I wasn't the only one that's been curious about this little modification. I think I'm going to get them, and once I get them in installed I'll certainly get some pictures/thoughts up on the board.

look in my gallery, i HAD them and they are sitting in my garage. the ones the OP is asking about is different but similiar in style to the ones i had.

1) they are NOT brighter than stock, glad i have fogs because you would have better luck duct taping a mag light to your hood (AA battery kind)
2) LEDs burned out almost right away
3) main headlight burned out 6 mo after putting them on


they look cool but when they work but the quality is not there. I am trying to figure out how to rewire mine so i can recover some of the cost but i will probably just by the night runner lights from MOPAR. if i were you guys i would get the night runners...don't give into your ricer impulses like i did!!
