Default New headlight help.

I am looking to upgrade my front headlights and markers, etc..
Looking to do this for under $130?

what do u think about these?
and which would be the most quickest ones to just swap out?
if i went with LEDs, would i have to buy anything extra, like wires etc?? i already have LED tails (thanks buggman) and the ep27 flasher thing.
Here is a link to the tails i have: http://www.ebay.com/itm/98-01-Ford-R...3e6700&vxp=mtr


Here are some headlights i am looking at.

I want to go either CLEAR, or dark like blackish, smoke, etc..

If you have any links to any other headlight combos, post them up.

Thanks

sorry, Glenn, but I HATE headlights with the Halo Ring and any little "tiny designer lights" like the first set has.
so I vote "NO" on all 5 you posted links to.
sorry! your truck is too nice to have "Ricer" headlights

There are head light assembles that are black instead of Crome with clear black side markers. That would look good with some high end lights. To just do what I do get brighter bulbs and get clear corners with led bulbs. Did that on all my rangers cheap and simple.

Yes but u have a 2011 Ranger, its headlights are different than my 99.
I have the long amber turn signals under my headlight.

I would like either a black/dark look or a clean clear look.

Yes but I had clear black ones on my '99 with amber LEDs and hid projector head lights. U prob can convert to a newer head light and marker ford didn't change the rangers much.

I got a set similar to the first without the led's and the corners leak on the driver side so if you get them be sure to silicone them up before you put them on
