Re: Roostre's 1967 C20

This next set of pictures will be comparison old to new. This is in my shop and mid-day with cardboard over the windows blocking as much light as possible and shining against a door about 10 feet away from the front of the truck. Not as good as a midnight on a dirt road comparison, but the best I could do considering. First is the old headlights on in the truck. Next is the new headlights on in the truck. Then is the old headlights, I think high beams, shining against the shop door. You can tell it's the old ones because the driver's side is brighter than the passenger's side. Then is the new high beams. Finally, is a shot of the new low beams. Once it warms up and I get the truck back outside, I will have to make final adjustments to the lights, but they are close enough for comparison purposes.

Overall, I'm very happy with this upgrade. I'm not a fan of most aftermarket headlights because I don't think they would look right with the rest of my truck. These give me an updated light without looking out of place. And you really can't beat the price.

Great work! Do the new lights have glass lenses?

Thanks! Yes, they are glass lenses. They are surprisingly good quality for how much I paid for them.
