99-02 headlights
I've got a busted headlight on my 97, where are you guys getting your 99-02 headlights from? I've checked ebay with no real luck.

All fit the same. Are the back plastic brackets broken too?

I think CertiFit has good headlights. Not sure if there is one close to you though.

Stay away from the Eagle Eye units on e-bay and aftermarket sites; the beam pattern is about as organized as Snooki's brain. Certifit has the Depo brand, which I have not tried, but people seem to like. OEM is definitely the best, but pricey.

I appreciate your Jersey Shore reference.
Give your local collision repair shop a call and ask where they get their stuff. I got a great lead on some Audi stuff doing that a year or so ago.
Certifit, or Sortafit, has not been good to me, so I am a bit biased.

Thanks for mentioning Certifit. I have never heard of them. The prices are as low as the aftermarket headlamps on eBay too. I've heard OK things about the eBay stuff too.
I am not willing to spend $100+ for an OEM headlamp. Its a freaking headlamp.... ;)

also if the 99 headlights if the plastic buckets are broken but the headlight and brackets are fine you can reuse your pre 99 stuff no prob

I've purchased parts from Certifit in PHX. Give them a call ahead of time, they'll pull the part and have it waiting when you arrive. You can inspect it before you buy, very easy process.
Their locaction is easy enough to find and not to far from Luke AFB. Here's their local addy and ph#.

Are you looking in ebay motors? Here's a few but I'm not sure are all glass and some could be plastic.

question...
i found a set of 99-02' OEM headlights for sale but the guy wants to keep the "buckets" which i think means the headlight housings (black frame piece behind the headlight that bolts the assembly to the truck).
do you guys know if the 99-02' headlight is a direct fit into a housing for a 98'?

they'll fit. I swapped out my 98 black frame thingy lol onto the 99 headlights I got. reason is cause the screw holes from the black frame thingy from the 99 headlights wouldn't line up to where you mount the headlights on the 98. if that makes sense.
