Re: How the heck you install these Please help ?

Ah yes, the aftermarket can be a real pain in the a**... especially with lights such as these. i went through many headlights with my blazer, and it was very difficult getting them in... actually broke one of my retaining rings from it not fitting right. It could be possible that they could be for a motor cycle?? When it comes to aftermarket lighting, i would have to say hella would probrolly be one of the best quality lights. And if your gonna upgrade your lights you should also upgrade your harness, unless you dont mind your trucks wiring getting crispy lol. You probrolly have to modify your headlight bowls if you really want to use those headlights

Re: How the heck you install these Please help ?

wow, that's huge in back. Suggest you get some cheap or repop buckets and do some surgery on them.

I have been looking at those same lights but now will need to see if they are all like that!

Re: How the heck you install these Please help ?

you can modify the buckets on the back as mentioned and they should work...pending not hitting any of the actual recessed area in the core support (which also could be trimmed if necessary...
