H4 Conv. or somethin' else? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've gotten bored and I just have to buy something for my truck so I can work on it....so I was thinking of something thats relatively inexpensive and will be easy to do as well as change the look of my truck a little bit. I thought an H4 conversion might be good. I know they are relatively easy and I know a lot of people have done them here. So any tips and/or pictures on H4 conversions will help. I was thinking of either the Tri-bar(I know, I know....everyone has it, but I like the looks) or an Angel Eye. I'd really like to see a picture of a truck with some angel eye's installed. Any help would be appreciated, of course suggestions on any mod other than a headlight conversion would also be welcomed.

I did an H4 conversion on all 3 of my trucks, cept I used Bosch European lenses that look stock, but are far from it... My 77 had the round headlights similar to yours, and with some high wattage PIIA drivers,. I midaswell have had the sun in my headlights... I never once got highbeamed becuase of the European light distribution pattern, totally well worth the time and effort!

My 96 has H4s with the stock 55 / 65 watt drivers, but I may be trying an HID setup in em, would give the truck a sweet look, and probally triple the light output...
