So, I am going with a black wheel and trim theme on my truck. I really like the look of the aftermarket style "blacked out" type headlights, but I have zero experience with lights and electrical systems.
This is sort of the look I am talking about, not necessarily these exact ones, but something with black housings like these:

...but I am open to suggestions! Halo's and LED's are cool, but I can live without them too, I mostly just want the black look!
I have been doing some research, and some reading on this forum, but the more I read the more confused I am about this!
I do not understand alot of the terminology being used, but even more concerning is all the headaches and horror stories I'm hearring about ANY attempt at messing with the lights on these trucks!
I spoke to my local auto electronics instal guys, and they said that it is basically a nightmare trying to get aftermarket lights to work with these trucks!
From what I gather you cannot simply swap out so much as a lightbulb on these things without custom wiring jogs, let alone the whole headlight assembly! ....I don't understand why this is?
Is there anyone that makes an assembly that just swaps in to replace the factory one, that actually works without fogging, glitching, flickering, not working in the cold and such??
PLEASE HELP!
