Im working on a 81 pickup i would like to do the conversion that an 89 jimmy would have for the light set up. can anyone give me any info i may need for this I mostly need wiring brake downs.

Already have the whole front support lights and harness, also have a 1986 wiring harness cause i remember some one saying i would need it to do this conversion any help would be great.

Don't have any info for ya, but could you elaborate on the conversion and what the expected benefits are. I have never heard of this conversion and I'm very interested.

Nevermind, I thought you were talking about the S10-Blazer type Jimmy.

thanks, this should help. i thought about using the whole 89 wiring and just change the connector at the fire wall so it would mount. this one shows how to splice the 89 head lights into the 86 harness. thanks again
