Headlight HID Question
 
Will 80-90s model s-10 headlights fit the same in my 86 gmc. i know they have the replaceable h4 lights instead of a non replaceable headlight bulb. and what are the sizes? Thanks

i dont think so unless its the one that has the single headlight, you can easily pick up some headlights that accept an h4 bulb.

Orielly sells 90-91 subrban headlights that have metal housings I retrofitted real projectors in my truck.. if you just throw HID's in a non hid housing.. you will be one of those who blind other people comming down the street. All I can say for my retrofit... baller, couldnt ask for better lighting for the 87. the housing came from a VW Passat, and had a 3" lense.. worked perfectly for me. When I get a second set of Bi-Xenon headlight projectors I might make a nother set so you can have a high/low in one headlight. Ive got like 4 projectors but non match.. anyway heres a picture of my truck with an HID retrofit.
