Headlight & Tail light - replacments - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gents,

who makes/sells the best quality headlight / turn signal and tail light replacements? Don't care about any crystal clear or smoked or riced out looking lenses. OEM style is what I'm after. Having my '94 GMC painted in the next few weeks and can't make myself put the old lenses back in it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I recently replaced mine and used TYC. So far they are doing fine. Would have liked to get factory replacement headlights but could not justify the cost.

I hear ya JJR. I would have preferred genuine GM parts, but couldn't justify. To give an example, I purchased the window scraper/wiper gasket (bottom of window on outside of door) and genuine GM was $61 per side. Aftermarket from Rock Auto was $16. Yes. $16.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm leaning towards TYC even before reading your reply.

p.s War Eagle!
