Do you live where there's snow?

You could get by probably with a non heated setup like the Truck Lite, which is what I use in my F250. They will not melt snow at all though. The best heated option is the JW Speaker, but they don't look very good and cost a bit more. Absolutly avoid any of the cheap ($200 or less) amazon headlights that look like a dollar tree flashlight.

Nice truck for sure, but got to say seeing a Chevy Citation in the background is pretty impressive too. Haven't seen one of those in ages.
