Sounds like maybe a conversion to the 05 housings on a 04 truck?
The 05 lamps are H13 fitment.

Yea sorry for the confusion...truck is an 04 but I got the new 05+ headlights on it

The factory head lamps on a 2011 can be used no problem. Do you have those or after market head lamps on the truck?

The problem is that my buckets (chrome parts of the lamps) are color matched to the exterior of the truck, so there is no chrome anymore. This, I was told, will not work with LED systems...

Okay, just wanted to make sure! Your lamps would take H13 fitment.

Just the aesthetic area of the lamps are painted though. The part that is functional, the reflector, that would still be chrome and as it was originally. You could absolutely do LED or HID in those.

I'm not understanding quite well.. I thought the chrome buckets need to be untouched so that the lights can reflect off of it???

Please PM me a contact phone number and I'll gladly hear you out!

The reflectors are the only real functional part of the optics. The bezels that are painted are only aesthetic and offer no other function.

If this is the case and the painted buckets do not matter, I am in for the LED's!

Would you have that full size that you could email to us? [email protected]
It looks like you might have installed projectors?

I do have projectors in THOSE lights, but they are coming out and for sale. I heard LED wouldn't work in those so I had another set of stock lights color-matched to allow me a chance to try your LED kit.

Are the LED's similar to 6500k? 5500k??

Well I ordered a set.....guess I'll have to wait and see how they turn out...

If they are just color-matched, you are good to go. The LED bulbs are 6500K XHP50 LEDS
