Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

Would be cool to add a set of these to the front also, or something similar to the Audi style ones. Always loved that look.

They don't list them for our trucks, they are listed for the Jeep JK... eBay is the easies to find them but if you find the Jeep part number, you can search the web using that.....

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

I dont think oracle has those made for these trucks? they look good i like em! and I would say yes they are worth your $50 i have some on my truck but I have square headlights and I got lucky on mine i payed $40 for mine but when I went back to try to buy another set so I can have all four headlights like that they went up on the price $100 I guess the guy figured out what he was selling! lol

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

Pretty sure American Autowire does these for our trucks. I think I remember seeing then at Nashville Goodguys.

Don't hold me to it, .. But, I'm 85% sure.

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

These are the ones I brought for my truck, hadn't installed them yet because I'm still working on my truck. I have a loooong way to go before I get to that point. I know awhile back another board member posted the link. here it is-- https://www.coolights.com/Headlight-...ons_c_229.html

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

I have a set of 4 Kelsun HIDs ready to go in mine (GMC). As much as I prefer stock, I live in area overrun by deer.

I've started seeing the Oracle stuff on TV lately and have to wonder... isn't putting red lights on the front of a vehicle a "bad idea", not to mention probably illegal?

I mean we're not Europe or anything, but having amber in the front and red in the rear is a pretty basic safety feature so you can tell which way a vehicle is facing from a distance. I think it even predates seatbelts and padded dash boards, so there must have been a good reason for it.

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

You're absolutely right the lights from oracle are made purely for the intentions of car shows even though 75% of the users will use them for driving at night as well. I always run my h-4's at night but I will kick down to just halos when cruising into a parking lot or residential street (my own or friends)

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

It seems as they do sell the sealed beams at oracle, they have them listed ffor classic vehicles. red would look nice, but id just have a seperate switch so that id put it on for cruize nights. But our trucks plus halos = bada** Nver thought our trucks could pull it off but im definatly impressed

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

He doesn't seem to have the "halo" lights with the ring around them but I'm running a pair of H-4 lights that this guy sells http://www.ebay.com/itm/79-87-TOYOTA...item4cecfa5665
And what he sells is pretty good if you want to see down the road a long way at night.

I've tried several other lights from various vendors and even had one pair melt the glue that held the "projection" lens in the light. I've run this pair of his with 55/100 bulbs for two years with no problems except needing to add relays for the lights to save the dimmer switch and head light switch.

Re: Halo headlight setups for c/10's

Gmcs are smaller with 5 3/4" size compare to Chevys 7" and yeah I was strictly a stock headlight guy until I found these halo headlights now I love to just stare at them in a parking lot they even blink with the marker and park lights when I turn my alarm on and off
