Hm... Well, considering that your dash lights and parking lights are always on together, that should be an indication that you don't have tail lights, DRLs or no DRLs. But eh...

Other than what's already been mentioned (headlights, turn signals, taillights), you could do something different with some pin-striping. A billet or mesh grille would change things up a bit. Only other thing I can think of is possibly some rims that stand out a bit more.

I think I'm going to start with clear corners and look a further in to the headlights. I like the idea of possibly having HIDs but I'm not high on the potential cost involved. I don't know a thing about projectors so I will have to look in to those as well.

I'm not real high on the rims on my car. They were already on when I bought her. Maybe I could sell them and find some bigger, sportier 5 spoke rims. Then again, rims can be pricey too, especially the ones I tend to like. If only I could get the new SS rims on my baby, but 20's may be a squeeze...the other thing I need to take care of is getting rid of the giant exhaust tip the previous owner left me. That thing is a beast!

In low light conditions? IIRC, anything 2000+ has automatic headlights anyhow. As soon as light levels drop, everything goes on just like you turned on your lights. I know for a fact that my dash lights are not on during the day in my Bravada. My dad's older pickup would not light up the dash with the drls active and if you didn't turn on the headlights, you wouldn't have tail lights, true, but you also wouldn't have any dash lights.

During the day my dash lights aren't on but when the headlights click on, the dash lights do as well.

Anyway I was looking at getting these style rims, obviously these specific rims wont fit my year because of the bolt pattern, but does anyone know of any rims styled like these? I really like them and plus they are 20's

im sure theres some website that would sell some nice wheels that would fit your truck but they are going to be pricey
theres other cheap mods out there than u can get along with your wheels like i got nice looking blazer emblems on the side of mine. pair costed 20 bucks i think on ebay. chrome trim around the wheel opening looks great on mine. possibly different mirrors off of a different car could look nice depending on the mirrors (that is if you dont have power mirrors, which even if you do i think its still possible to do.)
for my wheels i bought a 91 for 900 bucks and took the wheels off it (these werent the stock wheels, you can see them in my gallery) and took a bunch of other parts off the 91 so it wasnt so bad of a deal.
be creative you can take many parts off of different cars like camaro's and whatnot to make your truck one of a kind.
