Thanks Man! Those are the Depo Sport Package Headlights. Fairly easy to DIY.

PM me if you have any questions

They look good! Because it was asked earlier, what about them isn't OEM quality, and how would you compare the light output?

Thanks !

DEPO makes a very good aftermarket replacement for OEM products. I am always hesitant to claim they are the same as OEM especially on a forum. The (2) areas that I would say are different are the projectors (mentioned previously) and the actual lens it self. The fitment is also good, but probably a bit better with OEM. Since all the internal connections and bulbs are the same and not necessarily replaced when replacing the headlight, you should not notice a HUGE difference. It is just hard for me to believe these units at $150 ea. are the same quality as a $750 ea. OEM unit. In my experience, I would say you GWYPF. I am very happy with them as they are a huge improvement over the foggy and faded OEM set that came with the truck. I never tested the output of the OEM set, so I can't say what the difference is. I would be willing to take a pic when it gets better out so I can compare with someone's OEM set. I also have my OEM set still.

Bumping this thread to ask, how difficult is replacing a headlight? Is it just the usual screws and tabs or is there anything more involved? My lenses are pretty oxidized and yellowed... going to give polishing a shot, but it looks to me like they've yellowed from the inside.
