Thanks, they are definitely brighter.

Yeah, I am pretty sure it was some neighborhood kids or something. The grill and wreath that was attached was stolen, as well as both side marker lenses smashed. The truck is left open all the time, and nothing was taken, so it was just general asshattery. Something equivalent to some mischief I probably did as a youngster, so I am trying not to let it get to me.

As for the headlights, roughly $325 with the harness.

But, again, no brights. That was a bit of a wait, and about $65 more.

I will get the upgrades soon, and I will sell these here.

If it were me I would do both.

Fenders can be had through Quadra tech for roughly $100, so that cut in the fender isnt a big deal to me.

And the holes in the A pillar are small enough and they can be sealed for weatherproofing.
