I think I might of got the wrong Headlights I think it may be too much black for the trucks paint? Opinion's?I'm not going for a sporty look going for more of an off road style as well.

alittle dark, imo

any photos of lights on ?

I will say tho it does look very well done!
spray? or sticker?

Also! imo the emblem needs to go back aha.

Hmmm...the corners look fine, but are the outsides of the headlights shaded?

Its haerd to tell from the pictures, but it looks like the inside has been blacked out completely.

It also looks like the outside has been shaded as well. Get some pics with light output plz.

I kind of think so too. I actually really like it with the lights on but I'm more concerned how it looks in the day rather then the night.I'd take pics but im too lazy to go back outside again. Parking sucks here and my truck isn't right outside.

I bought them off ebay like this. It's not black but there smoked out headlights.

don't get me wrong it looks nice but i think because the whole grill doesn't have any color to it or chrome it looks a little bland, maybe do up a custom emblem to match the truck like i did here.

Yea,i'll get it all re-painted eventually and get an Ford Emblem as well just waiting on it till I'm done with everything I plan on doing.

they look amazing at night! wow

id just say you might want to get brighter bulbs now.

that amber look tho is nice

korey89 Jul 21, 2011 09:40 PM

Damn, those are darker than I thought they were. I was planning on buying them for my truck eventually, but that's too dark for me. They look cool, just darker than I'd want

Yea, I think im going to try to see if anyone wants to trade or buy them on here, Too dark for my truck I think I should have just stuck to the 2010 Corner lights I had planned on buying on ebay, oh well.

Kysus Jul 21, 2011 09:49 PM

well you did help the community right? so post them in the members classifieds using your photos some one may really like them suggest that they might want to use upgraded light bulbs tho. :)

thanks for showing us them tho they are nice looking! aha

I would say the black gill makes it look to dark. The heads and corners look sexy!

wyldechild Jul 21, 2011 10:36 PM

Too dark for me. Light output for me is important though.

If you paint the lower part of the grill surround toredor red, like you're truck, it would look much better. Just an idea...
