Help on my new Diamond Headlights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 12-27-2005, 06:43 PM

Got these for Christmas and they didn't come with any directions. Anybody use these before and can help on the install?

farside847 · 12-27-2005, 07:20 PM

3 wires, high, low and common. Now comes the fun part - which is which?

Is there a part number anywhere on them?

5150 · 12-27-2005, 07:47 PM

I don't see a part number but it is a-----12V60/55W light

68Stepbed · 12-27-2005, 09:22 PM

Sorry Bryan, mine had an H4 lamp. Take them to a parts srore and see if they'll interchange so you can keep your stock plug.

skeeter288 · 12-27-2005, 11:26 PM

never seen those before.were they in a box?can you contact the manufacturer for directions? they look similar to trucklite converion to the type that uses th 9004 bulb but can't be sure.

chevyguy_72 · 12-28-2005, 10:15 AM

looks like my h4 setup minus the bulb. Looks to me that you just need to buy the h4 bulb of your choice and put it in. The h4 plug will plug directly into your existing sockets. That wire should come unhooked from the end that does not have the screw and hinge up. That plastic piece should come out and the bulb should go in there. rehook the wire and put the rubber boot on to protect it. (not sure what these guys are talking about, i only see 3 pics and they are all of the housing, don't see any wires.)
I can get pics later tonight if you need them
Hope this helps

5150 · 12-28-2005, 06:03 PM

Yes, pics would be great. My mother-in-law got them from southern kentucky classics and they were for the 67-72 conversion. I've contacted them by email , but I'll call them and try to see if they can send me some info on them.

are they glas or plastic ? looks like the ones i got in the 67 mine are glass and had dot molded into them sun of those dont have the dot on them ya might want to look at yours and make sure its on there

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-28-2005, 06:25 PM

Those look like my old ones that I had on my blazer quite awhile ago they sure did not work for me??

68Stepbed · 12-28-2005, 10:50 PM

Didn't come out too well. best I could get with them still in. Hope they help.

**GMCPaul** · 12-28-2005, 11:54 PM

chevyguy_72 said it correctly you have the wrong bulbs installed in the headlights, you need the H4 halogen bulbs installed in place of the ones currently in it and then your harness will plug right in.

sorry no pics my ftp site was down all night hopefully it will be up tonight and i can upload them. The ones 68stepbed posted look the same as mine so hopefully they helped you.

Bill72BB · 12-29-2005, 01:54 PM

Again : from the pictures I see ; in Pic #2 the back of the light ,looks like you have to remove the spring clip and the white plastic and replace it with a 55/65 H4 bulb and install to your stock wiring .
That is how mine worked , I just didn't have the plastic retainer .

5150 · 12-29-2005, 02:03 PM

Thanks guys plan on trying to knock it out tomorrow.

Hey Craig-I don't want to hear about my gifts if I recall you had a little early Christmas gift that came from my neck of the woods. I can't exactly recall what it was, OH YEAH! A 2WD BLAZER!!!!!!!

Make sure you use a 65/55 watt bulb , if you want to go higher you should install one of the HL wiring upgrades .

Good Luck

5150 · 12-29-2005, 05:59 PM

I have done the Headlight Relay Install. Will that enable me to use a bulb with more wattage?

The upgrade will increase voltage to the bulbs which will make the stock wattage bulbs brighter , if you used one of the wiring kits Most allow you to use 100 watt bulbs .

meathead95 · 12-29-2005, 10:16 PM

hey bud i thought i would let you know in my new summit catalog they have a new air filter top that matches your wheels. it is something different and looks pretty cool. if yah give a crap.

5150 · 12-29-2005, 10:42 PM

Bill, I just used the relay and my own wiring to do the upgrade. I'll see what kind of H4 bulbs they have at my local Advance.

Hey Keith-I checked out the air filter assembly-WOW it's sweet but I don't think it's $191 WOW. Maybe I can find it somewherelse cheaper.
