thanks i baked them to take them apart and the heat gun to get the old black sealant out. then i put new sealant along with clear silicone to seal them up real good and far so good.

Thanx for the info !! This is on my to-do list !! I just bought new DRL's and my headlights are in good shape...I wish someone had these ready for order somewhere...If I can do a good job on them I might start selling them to the public..Have them pick a color and send 'em out !! LOL

yeah i searched for new lights i didn't like any of them so i decided to take it to my own hands all i did was follow the how to. the headlights are easy but the drl are a little tricky. i followed these two links they were great help to me check them out. and i got color matching paint from autozone so its the same exact color as my truck.
