I actually bought these a few months ago, but did not get around to posting until I have used them for a while. My '97 headlamps were totally opaque and the truck was actually dangerous to drive at night. Yes, I could have polished them out, but the light pattern was so bad from the old-school fluted lense, why bother? While it was tempting to retrofit some HID bixenon projectors and all of that good stuff, this is just my parts gofer beater - but I LOVE the bloody thing.
I looked around quite a while before running into these. Yes, GLASS lenses!!! The optics are reasonable (no, not $1,000 lights good, but sure as heck $100 lights good) and a big improvement on the old fluted stuff. The fit quite well, use the original (and interchangeable) alignment screw jacks and should tolerate a fair bit of bulb (I have just stock power level Silverstars in there now).
Just ran into the link cleaning out my mailbox - thought I should post it up.
