ive been looking around for a set of new headlights. does anyone sell projector headlights? i really like how they look and since we have such a common light i would think that they would have them someplace. Thanks, Ken

I've never seen them but every aftermarket projectore made for the 88-02's give off the light of a parking lampe, they're terrible.

Buy a truckin' magazine and look through the adds. A few places do sell them. I would like to try them too. If you do not find them shoot me a PM and Ill look in a few issues I have.

I purchased the h4 upgrade bulbs 80/100 watt with the diamond back lamp housings. I love the HID intensity and the brighter whiteness of the road at night!

I have the H4 upgraded lamps too and I hate them, they dont shine worth a damn. They look pretty cool during the day though so I keep em

They are also aimed really high, maybe I should fix that :P

Let us know what you find, I was thinking about getting the 7"round units for my blazer, but not sold on them yet..

I ran a few quick searches and this was all I found. I know there are some similar to these but slightly different:

Yea, I had to re-aim my upper lights to shine the road more. I left the lower lights aimed as they were with the old lights.

If those use a different bulb than the stocker than you can forget getting any light out of those. Like I said every 88-02 I've ever seen with projectors put out as much light as a parking lamp with a waffle bulb.
