It's the interesting how the headlights are blacked-out (how do they still work?), I suppose it makes them look cool. Also notice the licence plate, doesn't look like a normal registration with all those 4's. |

@ G-MANN They are called headlight covers (there are also tail light covers too) and are supposed to protect the headlamps from damage, and are removable. They are a aftermarket accessory, not a factory Ford option. The Lund brand seems to be the most popular: Link to "www.lundinternational.com" They are okay, but I personally don’t really like them (along with underbody lights, oversized spoilers and big chrome wheels, etc.) -- Last edit: 2012-07-03 16:46:26 |

Oh I see, I thought they were tinted headlights. The disadvantage I see with them is that when it starts to get dark, you'd have to stop to take them off. I wonder if they got this truck from a local dealership in Omaha (in the film it is said that Paul Metzler (Chris Klein) got it for his 16th birthday, so it's supposed to be new). -- Last edit: 2009-01-30 14:32:37 |

It could be new (1998 model) as there are no cosmetic difference between the 1997 and 1998 models. Its not a 1999 though as they got a new front end. |

This truck is a perfect late 1990s high school dream truck. Every guy I went to school with drove pickups with all kinds of bolt-on accessories like Lund airshields and smoked headlight/taillight covers, and stereo systems that could shatter windows. Granted, most of them were 20 year old Chevrolet S-10s that belched blue smoke, but hey, they had custom tonneau covers and brand-new sawblade rims. |

The main difference between '97 and '98 is the location of the tailpipe. '97 is in front of right rear tire. '98 is behind right rear tire. |

They are tinted. This was a big thing back in the 1990s, luckily, it went away rather quickly in the early 2000s. Tinted taillights are still a pretty big thing among the various car communities though. |

They are illegal. That is why they went away. |
