If you're going to keep your factory headlights, stay away from anything described as "Euro" or "Diamond" clear. They will be far too chrome looking to match the stock headlights. Search for those just described as clear. I don't know what your price range is, but IPCW makes a nice set of clear bumper lights that have no amber sidemarkers (not DOT approved). You can find them at various places such as www.stylinconcepts.com.

Personally I think the best replacements for the stock bumper lights are APC's. You have to be careful though because some come with amber reflectors. I just found a pair at a local shop with no amber reflectors. But, what I really like about them is that they replaced amber reflectors with white reflectors. So, they look very much like stock and illuminate more evenly in the corner area at night. Most aftermarket designs just allow the bulb to do the job of sidemarking, which to me looks kind of cheap. Aside from that the APCs are solidly built, very good quality. (Note: I never thought I would say quality and APC in the same sentence. lol.

Well that is why i posted this. I dont want anything that will not match and will look all ghetto and ricey. My headlights are new on my truck and the bumper lights are not and they just look old and have a yellow tint to them. I see some on ebay that may look ok i think i'm goin to give them a try. They dont cost much so it wont be a total loss if they are ugly. Thanks for the input.

No problem. I know exactly what you're going through. I actually now have two sets because I broke down and ordered a pair on ebay that didn't cost too much thinking the same as you that it wouldn't be too big a loss. Then I found the APCs, without the amber marker, that I had been looking for at a local speed shop. Now I'm just in a holding pattern until my Sylvania X2020 HID assemblies arrive. Not sure which pair is gonna work better. lol.

I have those clear corner lights on my 02 suburban. I have the stock head lights and I think they go pretty good together. I was going to get some projector headlights, but I cant find any that work with HIDs.
