I was looking for E-autogrilles?

nevermind I found them....LOL

Those look like what smokeyred wants to do.

Just an update, these do diminish the headlight output a little bit. If you drive a lot of dark country roads like I do you may want to add HID's. I was already planning on adding them anyways so no big deal.

I have a hard time seeing at night and with all the deer around here I need to see what I'm trying to avoid!

How are they holding up? I just pulled the trigger today on a set of the Harley replicas. I have work truck lights now. What else will I need to buy to install these?

They are holding up great, I get alot of comments on them.

I'm not sure if you'll need anything else to put them in, my truck is an XL but it came factory with the jewel beam headlights.

Can you tell me if the truck harness plugs directly into the headlight and turn signal bulb? Or is there a bulb socket?

 

[BFT]

Do you have those XLT head lights? If so then you can get rid of the piggy back harness and the side marker bulb holder is different

I have the sealed beam work truck lights. I saw the harness on the truck for the sealed beam lights. So I think I'm good on the wiring. This breakdown shows two bulb sockets in addition to the headlight bulb. Is this accurate?

There are 3 sockets on the head lights. The upper amber turn signal, the headlight and the front side marker.
The side marker is what you will have to change. The one on the work truck head lights are a 90* and the one you will need is straight. You will not be able to plug the side marker light with the 90*

Edit- FWIW... The work truck headlight has a white bulb for the turn signal, I changed mine to amber.

^^ Nice, couldn't have put it any better but I do have the part numbers for the straight middle side markers to top it off for you if you need them. F81Z13411AA

I have the smoked lights also, I got moisture in them once when I drove through heavy rain 400 miles in one day, but never once after that. I have had them probably a month and a half and they have seen a lot of miles and weather. I am very pleased, especially for the price.

I left the bulbs out of the center connector so the orange reflector isn't lit up anymore. Makes it look better IMO.

Same here. Mine are painted and they had a red look when lit.

Thanks fellas, I think that 13411 is also used on tailights? I have a old set in the basement. My buddy has a set of headlight bulbs for me. Looks like I'll only be into this for $50! :rockon::rockon::rockon:

 

[ditch_dawg]

Wow these look great for the money. Just need to figure out which ones to get.

Nice! Much cheaper than buying factory lights!

Like I said before, the smoked lights do make the headlights a little dimmer, so if you don't have or don't plan on getting HID's you may want to get the Harley style.

I haven't ordered HID's yet so I can't comment on how they work with these, but I would imagine they more than make up for the slightly reduced light output.

They are definitely a tad dimmer, but somehow I still get flashed when I am on low beams. I know what you are saying with them on back roads and stuff, I plan on getting the HID's also. Do you know how the longevity are on the HID bulbs? I have 108k on original bulbs right now which is amazing to me.

 

[Smokyred]

You'd have to ask Retro Solutions on the longevity of their bulbs, I've never had HID's.
