Its not a bad price but I dont need the support or the hood. How long would I sit on those parts before they sell????? Way longer than I would want to.

As far as I know, the top bulbs in the tails are the only CK-only wired bulbs. Hence why the cool people mod the stock holes under the board to fit 1157/1156 sockets. The front turns are standard 1157 sockets, not any special ck-only stuff.

I think im going for the TYC 80-6227-01 Elegante head lights - does anyone have a part number for the matching parking lights that TYC makes? I can't find it for the life of me

At the least, get DEPO brand. Every lens inside and outside my truck is depo and none have ever leaked, gotten foggy from moisture or yellowed from sun.

im need to replace my headlights and decided i want some clear lens with the chrome diamond cut reflectors as they call them.i bought a set off ebay and i am in the process of returning them because of terrible quality. adjusters/mounts were flimsy junk. so what brand have you guys found to be good quality? the ones from lmc look good but the first ones i bought looked good too.

as everyone said, TYC is like the top of the line, followed close by anzo, lmc, and depo's.

JDM is not a brand name. JDM means Japanese Domestic Market, which usually refers to parts for cars that were only available on vehicles built and sold in Japan. Since that's not the case here, they're basically putting "rice" in the title of the auction.

Those are both the same set of headlights, but they're just selling you a drop-in HID kit with the first. The lights are probably a crap-shoot. They don't look bad, though I wouldn't recommend using HIDs in them since they have no glare shields. The parking lights are crap. Since there is no reflector for light to shine on, the only light they'll be putting forward is from the bulbs themselves. People are going to have a hard time seeing your lights.
