    Looking for advice on what would look better on my truck in regard to the 2018 LED housing.
    I have a 2017 silver Limited with chrome grill. They make the smoke or clear. I think I would prefer the smoke but not sure if it would look lame with the chrome grill.
    Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

    I would prefer clear.. brighter the better.

    but your decision is the only one that matters on your truck.:wave:

    @Roman could tell you for sure but that's what I understand the difference to be. I just ordered a set of the chrome this past Friday :D

    Thanks

    I just want the brightest light coming from them and I assume the chromed housing would shoot the most light!

    Ives seen many one here but they don’t seem to put wether they are chrome or black housing

    I've got GTR Gen 3 LED bulbs in my headlights now and they are crazy bright. Not sure if these OEM will be as bright but I really like the look of them so am going to give them a shot. I haven't seen any complaint posts about them yet.
    Nice to see another San Antonian on the forum! Go Spurs!! :D

    I ordered the black cased from @Roman.
    I have no idea when they will arrive.
    Also, put down an order with @iHacker for the harness and ordered Morimoto fogs. I’m pumped! The light output with the standard halogen on the 17s is weak IMO. Plus, just the effort to replace the halogen bulb helped my decision.
    Thanks for the replies!
