Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
I see you are using a Hagen frenched headlight kit with headlights with LED parking light/turn signal built in. Check out that when the head light is installed that the chrome trim ring doesn't cover over the LED light.
The reason that I mention it is that I have a similar set up except my headlights have a larger LED light. When I saw the ones like you have I thought that the ring might cover over the LED completely. Marc

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
Hello youngrodder..
Thanks for the info, I did'nt check it if it wil fit.. I will do it soon.. I can not send it back now anymore..I orderd it by Someone else, and they send it to Holland.. If the crome ring wil cover the parking lights, the only thing I can Do is, not connect the parking lights, and leave it how it is.. I like your truck very much. What did you do with your suspension on the Back of your truck,? I like the stance a lot on your truck... Posted via Mobile Device

I got lucky with my lights as I bought them years prior to installing them and never thought about the LED lights. some of my LED's are covered but a majority of them still shows. Just trying to save you the same fate... My truck uses a modifed G-body frame (front and rear). Simular to an S-10 in the front but the back is a 4 link. Air bags front and rear with 20" rims all around. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks Marc
