those lights look pretty sweet. I thought about adding some fog lights instead of just replacing the headlamps but my stock lights were leaking water so they needed to be replaced. I may still add some small foglights if i ever get the money.

 

lol run both. i do. light forces and hid's. the projectors did put off a good beam. just hated the fit.

 

I'm using IPF's in the jeep and I'll be getting a set for my 1st gen dodge they rock..

 

I've got a set of those headlights-

The fit towards the bumper isn't great, but the light is much better than stock. They do sport a DOT stamp on the lens, and (even though it's not scientific testing) I get flashed a lot less than with the stock headlights adjusted properly, and the light pattern is really close to European lighting rules. The only downside is that with the low beams on there is a dark spot approx 3m (9ft) from the front bumper.
The reason I got them was that the turn signal glass on my stockers was damaged, and they were cheaper than getting only the turn signal.

That's the reason for running them- rather good lighting for a comparatively low price and a "no hassle" install. I would have liked to get a full set of lights from Hella but IIRC they were about 5 times more expensive and a lot of work to install, and the look of the truck would have changed significantly.

Just my 2c

I like my ebay headlamps housings and LMC harness with walmart foglights. Great products great lighting no hassles.

 

This thread shows my install of eBay Sport Headlights:
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=191370

They are twin bulb types, basically a replacement for trucks with Sport Headlights. Non-Sport trucks require some rewiring for the conversion which is fine since the stock wiring isn't great anyway. Can't believe the difference every time I drive at night.

 

I am on my 3rd set of headlights (rock got 1) in my 05 as the high wattage bulbs tend to kill the reflectors when you run the big wattage Hella bulbs that actually put out unlike the overrated PIAA junk(love their lights—use them with KC 130 watt bulbs and they are brutal). They are not legal on high or low 80 100w real wattage not “equivalent” black magic wattage lol. Used the PIAA types for years but learned the truth ---- plug a PIAA in one side then the 80 100w Hella on the other then stand in front of one then the other. Not even close!!!!

 

I have the 1 piece chrome headlights and love em. they really look sharp. Heres a pic for y'all.

There is only one hole for the turn signal. The amber part you see is just the reflector. I am fixin to put HID lights in this weekend. I will get some pics up when they're in.

 

I jst recieved the ebay lights, $88 buck + $43 shipping (ouch) they do have DOT stamped inthe lens, give off much better light, look better then my old yellowing stock lens, and are the exact same ones from LMC, same manufacturer (Spring) but at half the price.

 

anyone know of different bulbs or different fog lamps that fit in the factory fog lamp holes that would be be brighter?

 

which ebay lenses are you refering to. Does the 98.5 have the same headlights as the ones you are refering to. thanks ED

 

Those ones above are 90mm Hellas...
which are more $$ when you're done.. add about $60 for connectors which they don't come with.
hella usually makes good lights thought

i got those in the smoked version i lve them ...

 

I got the clear ones, anyone else notice at night they refelect 2 stripes of light behind the mirror, its very distracting to see light out of the corner of your eye!! I'm thinking that if I remove the bulb and get a long paint brush and paint the wall closest to the radiator, it will stop the light reflection....except for that they are way way better than my faded stocker headlights

 

hi
i run the stock headlights with a summit upgrade harness and flosser 100/80 w bulbs and a diode from radio shack that turns both high and low on for high beam . 2 x brighter than stock set up !
