Funny, I grabbed a set from a 2013 Wrangler today. Not plug and play, did you have to get some sort of adapter? The Wrangler lights I have a 3 pin and my 72 is a 2 pin set up.

Pics look good. Have you done the relay mod to ensure full voltage to (thus maximum output from) the new lamps?

Yes I did that also, just didn't snap a pic of it. And mine is also 3 pin. Everything was plug and play

You should post a pick of your plug. Every truck I have owned is a 3 pin plug at the headlight.

If it was 2 pin you wouldn't have high and low beam in one bulb. My GMC has 4 headlights and they are all two pin plugs because they are separate high and low beam lights. All Chevys will be 3 pin plugs. One wire is ground, one is Low beam power and the 3rd wire is high beam power.

Where did you get these? I have all the different catalogs, but just want to know which ones these are? They look Great! My new 383 Stroker in my 1970 Short/Wide will be done by end of next week and want to order some of these to put in! Thanks!

How much of an improvement would these lights be over standard halogen? I have halegen in my truck with the harness upgrade and I see pretty well at night.
