Re: Gmc head light buckets

Zip,

IF you go with the Halogen light upgrade you will need to further modify the buckets.

When you use a standard sealed bean they are 3 'tabs' that keep the light in position in relation to the bucket. The new halogens have added 2 extra tabs build into the backside of the frame of the globe, you need to use a dremel or otherwise remove them so they sit in the bucket correctly.

You will notice that 2 of the factory cut holes in the buckets are in the correct place BUT are too small to fit the new halogen bulbs.u need to make those holes a touch wider.
