I agree, Black, but question- Does the Smoked Black Headlights distort light output? I have never owned anything that had smoked lighting and always wondered how much light output you are losing to get the look. For me - when driving at night I want the brightest light possible.
But I think Black does look the best as far as appearance goes

I switched back die to not liking the light pattern. Surprised you don remember that

You should have installed old man emu shocks into the headlights.

(I don't know why I couldn't resist such a dumb joke)

Got me.

I remember a lot but that one slipped my mind.

Mostly just didn't remember ever seeing the AlphaRexs on your truck

Yeah... Probably should have left it be.... We both know you could have done better.

I mean for some real engineering I am going to replace my headlights with a bunch of Streamlights duct taped together and jb welded into the bumper cut out.

I'm actually surprised you don't already have a Pic rail or two installed on the truck.

I tried to find a reason to install some, or m-lok rails, but I couldn't find any reason at all to do it. Which is very odd for me, since I will test some truly less than ideal shit.

IMO - go with the black.
As I expressed my opinion on another post, chrome looks good ONLY on red or black vehicles.
