SilverBulletSS Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm looking to change up the front end a bit, was originally thinking of doing smoked headlights and bumper lights. These http://www.ebay.com/itm/250748689483?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Then I came across LED bumper lights in the listings, haven't seen them on a single truck. Was curious if you guys have, or what you think of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330619407468?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 So i was thinking maybe just get a pair of smoked headlights, then order the LED bumper lights and have them smoked? I'm not to sure how those would look though, I know the full smoked kit would look killer on Silver Birch. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

SilverBulletSS Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I came across these fog lights also, looks like if I take the grille out of the brake ducts these might just fit with minor mods. They plug into the factory harness if I can find mine. I most likely wouldn't wire up the HALO's though. http://www.ebay.com/...=item5648595e91 Edited February 1, 2012 by SilverBulletSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bag Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 That smoked light combo looks to be a different smoked finish from head to bumper light ya know what I mean. If I could do it all over I'd just evenly smoke the OEM head and bumper lights evenly. The after market aren't that good of quality vs. the OEM. IIRC silverado_ss_04 and ANGRYGREG have those same ones. Maybe search for pics by them or they might post up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I originally did VHT nightshade on my corners, to black out the amber reflector, then I 3M tinted the entire headlight and it actually looks amazing! It barely blocks light output as well. Those LED ones don't even look that bright. Agreed on the ricey comment. This is a shitty picture, but you get the idea. They look darker in person, this is the "medium" level tint. Only cost me 30 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC silverado_ss_04 and ANGRYGREG have those same ones. Maybe search for pics by them or they might post up here. Yeah they are a slightly different tint level and they do that so there is no reduction in light output. I do wish they were the same, there would not be and issues with light output I don’t think especially with HIDs. HEY NOW! I got LED tail lights that are tinted, and they look great! lol, but I do dread one going out. I dont think LED tails look ricey at all. I actually want some. I just think those corner lenses the OP posted look ricey. They are solid and have one little strip of leds in them, i just don think it looks right.

stg313 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I really like the fog lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBulletSS Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Looks like the verdict is in, I'm going with the smoked set. If anything I can have my buddy reshoot them to look equal. Yeah the fogs are awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MobbinSS Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 on my truck, fully smoked lights is no good. i have a silver birch truck to. if you want to smoke the tails, go ahead those look good. but the headlights look best with smoked corner to take away that amber stuff. up to you, but i wouldnt make the headlights all black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
