I kinda like the other LED tail lights. The last ones look too GM.

I have these on my truck and the light output is worse than my yellowed factory housings, I actually just ordered a set of factory sport housings to replace these with. I don't recommend any of those housings unless you want to do a projector retrofit.

That has been my experience with any sort of ebayish headlights. They always suck when it comes to good light pattern.

I would go with a set of projectors but thats just me and as far as tail lights my truck has the first set of tail lights and they look ok just not a big fan of them I would go with the led ones in smoked.

Good to know. My Sport headlights work awesome but for whatever reason they started to yellow a little on the top portion of the lens. My truck is in the garage more than its ever out in the sun so I cant imagine why they'd yellow at all. Matter of fact the side blinkers next to the headlights are absolutely perfect so why couldn't they just make the headlights out of that material? I've cleaned them up a few times but I'm getting tired of it. I've considered replacing them with OEM but I thought they were very expensive which led me to look into other replacements but I've been leery of internet garbage. You've kinda confirmed what I was thinking.

for headlights: OEM Sport headlights will be the biggest light improvement. you will need the headlight relay and need to do some wiring for quad hi-beams though since your truck didn't come with it from the factory.

for Taillights go with some LED's!

I just ordered these and they come with a new wiring harness that is plug and play, no wiring required.
