Not really, they are listed in the 2014 catalog.

Under Oscar 180 mm, 067689

Used CNTRL +F to search for the number in the PDF. Still seems to be a valid number.

the 067689 LENSES can only be got by buying the 067688 LIGHTS......i couldn't find those sold separately that would ship to the USA for a reasonable shipping cost....or was an English speaking site.

oh wait.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/huc/view.html?ie=UTF8&newItems=C2T8Z8QL46OF9N,2

these seem to be good sites too

Did you send an email to Daniel Stern? He might be able to get you those if you want.

Was driving down by the river yesterday morning in the red truck and figured I'd play around with the phone camera a little. All the driving shots of the Spyders made me want to give the Anzos a little love in this thread. Not quite as nice of a cutoff as the Spyders, admittedly, but I'm pretty happy with them. Note that the little dark spot on the driver's side isn't really a dark spot so to speak, it's just the way the gravel road slants right there. Was a little wetter than the rest of the road. Also wasn't completely dark outside, but whatever.

For anyone curious, I run Anzo 111004 housings in both trucks. Paired them with Sylvania Xtravison halogen bulbs.

EDIT - Bonus river picture.

the lenses themselves are made very well.....they don't feel like your typical ebay-china-junk

the sealer they used seem to be of a good quality...that was evident by the fact the pink foam packing cover was stuck to it in a few places......i think they may actually be sealed. time will tell.

I bought myself a set of these too but I got mine from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WMF8SG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got mine in January of this (2017) year. The Amazon add said they come with bulbs, they didn't but that wasn't an issue for me. I wanted more light out front and I feel I got that, I also noticed that these had a much better (to me at least) light pattern, they also had a sort of flat pattern on the top of the light when I would point them at a wall. The OEM just put out a blob of light on the wall.

those seem to be the same as the one's i got.....mine came with white "sticky paper" covering the bulb holes......your truck looks great, i don't think i've seen a red one before.

they do have a pretty good cut-off to them. i'm very happy with my choice of product.......what housings did you replace?

 

[n8pu]

ok...whilst i'm still wide awake and waiting to buy the harness let's keep going.....


i found this to disable the DRL's.....have to check for potential ramifications of this though.

i never had that green light on my dash....maybe the bulb is out, but my DRL work. when i click my e-brake 1 click they go out too.

Well this is the first I had heard about that piece under the dash to unplug, mine is still plugged in, but I did as the person in the second of the two videos suggested, unplugg the fuse on that side panel, I did and no more DRL's. My truck never had fog light so that wasn't an issue for me. The bad thing for me was, it burned out both low beam bulbs and I didn't know it until I went to go somewhere after dark and no head lights, well at least no low beam lights, highs worked just fine. That was a couple of years ago and I haven't 'discovered' anything that doesn't work that should. I can thank my son for 'finding' the fuse on the side panel.
