Question about 81-82 headlight bezel

Will these bezels fit a 82 gmc that originally had 4 headlights but for some reason now only have 1?

Re: Question about 81-82 headlight bezel

On the trucks with two headlights per side, the headlights and "buckets" are smaller. However, in your picture it looks like you have the larger ones that are used on trucks with one headlight per side.

The sizes are:
165 mm x 100 mm (2 per side)
200 mm x 142 mm (1 per side).

Thank you mikeB , I was wondering because I bought the bezels for the quad headlights from Lmc and would not fit and found the others online and since it's just a Sierra I'm sure it's the one headlight too.

Re: Question about 81-82 headlight bezel

That worked out well for you. I was thinking about going the quad route on my truck until I realized I'd need 4 new buckets. Expensive unless I could find some at a junkyard.

Got my halogen sealed beams aimed and working OK, but I want to install relays to get full battery voltage at the headlights. And maybe buy a pair of Hella headlamps some day.
