Headlight wiring... New lights. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pl4yboy · 03-12-2007, 11:12 PM

Okay so recently I decided I wanted Xenon bulbs in my truck.. Looked around on ebay and found a set for cheap (whole headlight assembly w/ bulbs for ~40 shipped). My truck is in the body shop and I was wondering how hard these babies are going to be to wire up and since I can't look on my truck... I thought maybe you guys could give me a run down. I plan on doing the headlight relay upgrade as well.

Here's some pictures.

they look pretty straight forward as far as wiring a better question would be how do you intend to mount them and adjust them?

That my friend, is a wonderful question. I question so wonderful, that I have no answer for it. I'm sure I can use some redneck inginuity and figure something out.

Wouldn't it mount and adjust the same way as the stock sealed beam it is replacing?

from the length of it i doubt it would go into the buckets without some type of major surgery

Quite possible - I did the rectangular versions for my Wrangler, also off eBay. Showed in a a chinese box that had not a single legible word on it. I figured it would be a simple bulb swap, but the rectangle didn't fit inside my mounting trim rings. I jacked with then for a couple days, then boxed em up and put them on a shelf. Anybody wanna buy some rectangular lights?

They really aren't that deep. Even if I have to do some surgery, as long as it isnt visible on the outside, i dont mind.

I used a wiring harness from LMC trucks. It came with the relays and works great.

Pl4yboy · 03-13-2007, 07:53 PM

I'm pretty handy with electrical things... Can you buy the relays seperate somewhere? Because I have the fuses and everything here.
