What bulbs do those take? There are some very nice bulbs out there, depending on what bulbs the low beam and high beam take.

The high beam is non-projector, a sylvania 9005.
The low beam is a sylvania H7 55W
I am going to use these for a while and see before I get different bulbs.
I almost returned them to Amazon because the fit is not that good. My wife does think they look good, so I am doing some customization to improve the fit, and cutting some metal in the fender to access the adjuster screws and high beam bulbs.
As it is you'd have to remove the headlights to replace a high beam, and also to reach 2 of the 3 adjusters.
This is not so much a fault of light design as it is a fault of the trucks original lights. It was a single bulb and therefore only had enough access hole to allow the single bulb.
