I didn't like them.









I guess i'm just too old.
They bothered me.

I didn't do pictures of the headlights, because they just would not mount up correctly. There was this huge (enough) gap all the way around, and the whole assembly stuck out just a little too much. I didn't want them to get damaged screwing screws into them, so I just held them in place.
The look was REALLY good, but the fit & finish just wasn't there.
But they did look really good!

The headlights are a simple return minus shipping and a 15% restocking fee.
The taillights..........well, you gotta' pay your shipping cost back to them and THEIR original shipping cost when they sent it to you.........AND 20% restocking fee.
Somebodys getting paid!

Boy, that was an expensive "let's have a look-see".........
Oh well, I never been very good at this style thang.

I would list the headlights AND Tails on your local CL for what you have in them.
Someone will probably buy them.. Even if you took a slight loss, it would be better than returning them.

Yeeeeeah, I don't really have the energy to deal with all that.
Besides, I learn my best lessons when they cost me!

I think they look okay. Better than stock anyway.

Why not black them out like you planned?

Or have some red vinyl overlays applied - they'd look like the newer models stock tails and wouldn't attract attention from the boys in blue.

For some reason I thought they were going to be flushed instead of the lights protruding out and then the center of the lens sunken in like a figure 8 crater hit it.

I have to admit, they don't look all that good to me either.

More like this:

I agree. They look like an "outie" belly button.
As for the style thing 'dawg, don't worry about it. "Lipstick on a pig" raise questionable motives but you can not make a good truck look better with different lights. Make-up on a woman ? Debatable. My truck came stock with ... the lights it has. Newer models come with LED's. Oooh, aaah, BLING, ker-ching. Better things to spend my money on. The money I could spend won't change a thing about me or my truck. Half the people on the road, who have to look at them, probably wouldn't even notice. Of the other half, perhaps half of those may not even like them. Also, what's in style today is soon outdated.
About your headlights. The lens polishing kits work very well.

No time ? Perhaps an in person trade with one of the many other owners of Dodge trucks you come across.
