Let me know what you think, or any suggestions to make them look better....

Also the hood is not aligned great, so that's why there looks to be a BIG gap between the lights and the hood.....
Sick of what car did you get the headlights off??

Nice first post. This thread is only 12 yrs old. I don't think that guy even post here anymore.

I'm not following the question though. Why did you start it with "Sick of"?

I'd imagine he forgot a comma there. "Sick, of what car..."

To answer the sick one's question.... I believe they're aftermarket projector housings made for an early to mid 90's Silverado Truck....

I'm just not the biggest fan of the 1 piece look. I think I like how the OEM lights are offset a little. When I see the one piece headlights attempted, I always feel like the lights just don't sit in the pocket right.

I think a true projector inside a 4x6 housing looks better, with better light output. but maintains the looks of the front of the car.

I'd like to see fatal88s headlights but the pics are long gone I suppose. I had the idea of using the Monte or cutlass euro headlights years ago.
