Re: Headlights

I just went with the Silver Star seal beams, a little pricey but well worth the plug and play, I have had mine in the truck for about 10 years now and still going strong. They are sure a lot brighter than the originals.

Re: Headlights

I am not trying to be rude, but did you SEARCH this forum at all? Very recently this topic has been brought up, on top of already useful information here.

Most recently, one of the EXACT same title as this thread... headlights
