Just got these from SportTruckDirect:

Also got a black antenna and some brighter bulbs...
Billet Handles show up sometime next week from Boomer. Going to install everything at once. With my newly acquired tonneau, the exterior of my truck should be complete.

nice. how much for the headlights?
$179... I was surprised at how well they were packaged. When UPS delivered the box, I was almost positive that they couldn't be headlamps. HUGE box...
 
SWEET!

I just took my headlights apart and took the yellow off the sides and painted them black, awesome look bro!:rock:

Tony, I've been wanting to paint mine red to match the brakes; were they hard to disassemble?
 
no guys I didnt think most would be interested in that with all the headlights out there, I ws just bored!LOLOL

but basically you remove the headlight and all the rubber trim pieces around th headlight


Preheat the oven to 300 degrees or so, pop in a headlight in the oven for 10 minutes or so and check it.
When its ready you should be able to pry just a tad between the glass and housing and the silicone will be gooy and the glass will come off, mind you now there are small tabs aroeund the glass so be sure to unclip them.

then the yellow reflector can be ground off from behind, nd then I bondoed the holes and sanded them down for a smooter affect.

BE CAREFUL WHEN TAPING OFF THE REFLECTIVE PART!!

use painters tape and very little!; and use cotton or paper for the rest, the silver reflective part comes off very very easily, so handle it carfully even windex will take it off.

then just paint your favvorite pinkish Rice Eater color:D

after it dries put both pieces back in the oven to heat silicone, maybe even putting a small bead to be sure of sealing, heat it all back up and pop it back together!!

ta da!!

I found this on a dodge forum somewhere, I will see if i can find it and copy it and post it in the DIY section
 
i have had mine in my house for about a week now to do this. just too lazy i guess ;)
