JUST WONDERING IF ANYBODY HAS UP-GRADED THEIR HEADLIGHTS ? AND IF SO WHAT DID YOU GO TO FOR BULBS AND DID IT MAKE MUCH OF AN IMPROVEMENT.
I'M NOTICING THE MORE I DRIVE MINE AT NITE HOW POOR THE LIGHTS ARE, BOTH HI AND LOW BEAM ! ! ! ! ! !

I went with the Nokya artic white bulbs and the nokya hyper yellow fog lamps.
I like the blue/white look and they seem to be better than the stock bulbs. The cool thing is the yellow fog lamps that have a destinctive horizontal separation due to the split headlight housing where the chevron separates th lw/high beam.
I'm not sure that iI like the high beams. They are more blue than the low beams and don't seem to project very far out in front. This however , may be due to having lowered the truck with the Ground force springs.I put some tape on the garage wall before the swap and it didn't seem to change the focus very much at all.I dropped front and back but the rear dropped more than the front and the headlights were actually a little higher than before.
I'm going to attempt to re-align the headlights to see if there is a difference or not.

What do you think about these? Anyone already replaced their? Are these the same as the ones that are on the trucks now? Looks good but maybe to good to be true.

The price isn't bad, but $12.00 shipping ((( OUCH )))

Price!!!!! Doesn't really matter but do they just plug and go?

Judging from the #s I'm sure they are direct replacements. I feel the same as you, if they are brighter price means nothing as I really think the factory lites are poor at best. Hopefully someone will advise us on this. Maybe I will e-mail the seller and see what he can provide.

I put them in my 04 GTO and have had them in the 04 and now the 05 SSR. Very white, very bright. As close to HID without the expense. Direct replacement and better than the Silverstars in my Silverado.
