Thanks

I did this last summer on mine. I'm not a metal worker by no means, but it does the job.

Hey Andy,
How do you like those lights?? I'm thinking about getting some. If you don't mind, where did you get them and how much?? How was the install? Thanks!!!

I bought them at the RUN to the Sun Show at Myrtle Beach two years ago. I really like them, I don't remember the vendor who I bought them from, but I only payed $85.00 for them. They were a show price then, you can get them at that price anywhere now I guess.
The install was nothing but unplug the old head lights and plug these in. No wire mod needed. As far as the difference is awsome.I can see a good 200' in front of the truck with the brights on
I could do better, but I had to adjust them down to keep from having people flash me.
I haven't checked into it real deep yet, but I think I can buy the new white light bulbs and use them. I just am waiting to burn one out first and see.

dinnut: Thanks I have been working on it now since 1986. I guess the old saying is true... you never finish once you start.
