    So I bought these black headlights off ebay that I've been seeing without the amber reflectors cause I love the look of them and I'm curious where people got ones that actually fit properly...mine didn't line up to all 3 mounting holes for the main headlights which I could make work but the corners completely were molded backwards for the socket to twist in...I really want completely blacked out and clear headlights and corners (especially corners cause I wanna do projectors eventually so I can paint the housings whenever I do that) Any links to proper fitting ones would be greatly appreciated and I'll attach some photos of the headlights I bought and will be returning.

    The new ones compared to oem turn signals

    Do you have an access/regular cab or double? You don’t say, the corner lights aren’t cross compatible. Doesn’t explain the headlights not fitting other than poor quality.

    I see two light bulbs hanging down in the third picture so that would indicate double cab for OP.

    Sorry I never got notification of responses I ended up making it work out, the headlights themselves didn't quite line up but I got it to work by putting the top screw in last. But the poor quality that I was talking about with the corner lights is those tabs where flipped around on the new ones I got so when you put the bulb in and twisted it they weren't able to spin. I fixed it by just taking a Dremel and grinding them off the ones that were wrong because I didn't wanna go through the process of returning it.

    It might be a little late but I bought the exact same headlights from AJP Distributors. Fit perfect but just had to very very very lightly file on of the holes for the turn signals. I will send pictures later if you would like them
