I haven't seen them before...but that doesn't mean someone on here doesn't have them.
I'd have to see them installed too, because in that pic they look disgusting IMO. Might be different on an actual truck though...

there is a s10 around me that runs those they look wierd during the day, but they are super blue at night , when you see them at night you cant even recognize that its an s10, looks like some euro car coming at you

You don't want them, I have had them long enough to drive 30 miles to the closest parts store, buy regular lights, and throw those in the trash. I've also had the regular (black) ones without the projector lens in them, the chrome ones with the lens, and the ones I got now that are chrome with no lens.

If you enjoy being able to see at night you want the normal chrome diamond clear with no projector lens H4 housings. Other wise you're better off holding a flashlight out the window.

Neither of the black lights (one with projector lens or without) reflect much light off the black reflector. The projector lens versions focus the light into a spot light pattern. Its great if you want to see further straight ahead but nothing to the sides.

I was just going to say, "I don't know about those", but neo just confirmed my suspicions... They'd look great on a show truck... maybe, but for everyday/night use, I don't know.

I'll second that. i have the newer version of those (composite headlight style) and they BLOW at night. brights are bright as hell, but i rarely get to run them long. i can not wait to swap them out...
