I'd go with a set of OEM headlights, to hopefully ensure no water leakage issues with some cheaper aftermarket lights. As for the corners, I'd go with whatever floats your boat.

Whatever you do, DON'T get them from eBay!!! The ones I bought leaked like a siv.

The TYC Elegante ones I have now are great. Look amazing and I've never had any moisture issues with them. Other than those, OEM are probably your best bet.

As far as HID's go, you want a lens that has a built in glare shield. That's why I got the lenses I have now. Search around and see what guys are using that have HID's. That's what I did and it was pretty much unanimous on the ones I bought (other than getting full projector lenses).

The OEM headlights would probably fit better and would hopefully not leak. The ebay ones might be just as good though so I'd go with whatever you want to but just seal them up good if it's the aftermarket set.

That too. The ebay lights most likely won't have a glare shield.

My buddy had those exact same headlamps on his truck and they are held up great. I do like the looks of them.

And it never hurts to run a bead of clear silicone around them IMO.

I would try to find a clear headlight set that doesn't have those ugly lines running across them. The second link is parking lights, if you could find a headlight set that matches those it would be awesome.

I'd be careful with aftermarket headlights. There is a reason factory headlights are $300 each. I bought a replacement headlight from eBay and it fell apart upon delivery.

See if TYC makes headlights for your truck, I have TYC Elegante headlights and parking lights on my 95. The quality is pretty nice.

The TYC Elegante headlights are VERY nice. I still need to get the parking lights.

They do make them for your truck. Here's a link to them on Stylin' Trucks, but it will give you a part number to check around.
