parking lights

[350Vortec]

Everyone just buys the ebay headlight,parking light combos and installs them. Obviously there cheap so its inevitable that they will have some small leaks and lead to moisture buildup. The trick is to run beads of clear silicone around every part that could possibly leak. I did that to mine and never ever had a problem. Stock housings are not great for hids. You will throw off much more light with crystal clears. Just make sure to aim your lights properly or else you will blind people. But i have not once gotten flashed in the 3 months i have had my hids in cheap ebay housings.

Good luck, Shawn

For headlights, I wouldn't buy anything other than TYC, Depot, or AVS. TYC's are what I have and have been great quality wise for 4 years. Depot's are what a lot of people are running, from CK Resto, and they have been getting good reviews. I've also saw good reviews for the AVS glass ones.

opinions??

also whats w/ the little reflector/shield? is that good or bad and do you want that for HIDs?

That's pretty much how the TYC ones are made, just look a little different. Not sure if that would make a difference with HID's or not really.

i dont have HIDs in the high beams so im not sure if that thing does anything or not but they work great with HIDs in the low beams

i have some more pics of the lights on my truck and some pics of the difference between old and new if you want them
