The truck headlight conversion with nicer looking lights?
I think the truck headlight conversion looks way too zombie-like and plain. I found these on ebay would they work too? Could look quite nice...

Those will take some work to get proper fit, but it is possible. They also are not as big overall as your OE lights, so there will be a gap around them that you'd need to fill.

I just installed mine. Now i Just need someone who can guide me the right way on wiring them to work with the stock wiring.
The projector has only two leads off of its bulb, like our high beams, only the eye of the projector is designed to be the low beam. How can I convert the three prong factory to work safely with the two lead low beam on the truck light???
I have some decent basic knowhow, but I don't want to blow anything up.

I believe the way it works is the three prongs are positive(lowbeam), positive(highbeam), and negative. There is just a positive and negative on the highbeam because it has no low beam capability. So basically what I'm trying to say is don't worry that it is only two prong instead of three. Either connect the low beam to one of the prongs or redo the wiring so that the low beam always has power even when in highbeam mode (not sure how exactly to do it). It's funny that within 12 hours of me posting this someone already has a car they did it too. Can we get some pics I wanna see how this looks!

Thank you so much, I was wondering if that was right. All the answers on here were something close to that, but still...hazy... I guess. But I will go with that because that was my plan anyways. I can't thank you enough.
No camera tonight, but I can have pics up tomms night. flynlow92rs has my lights, but I have no city light LED. All I can say though is it is truly a beautiful difference. Even with the gaps from the size difference, which I have decided to use as ram air ports. I will post asap!

Thanks. I love having bright, functional and sharp looking lights. All the thirdgens in my area look twice because they can't tell what is coming at them until I pass.
