What would you do? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

About 4-5 years ago I bought 2 sets of the heavy duty headlight kits from LMC. I ordered the wrong sets and got the ones for GMC's with the 4 head light hook ups..

First ,I will ask if anyone has modified a 4 headlight set up to a 2 headlight set for use in the Chevy Trucks? If so,would you let me know what you did to make it work .

What would you do?

Modify them ,,,sell them,,,or see if I can return them?

Just curious...

Whats a heavy duty head light kit? Whats the difference between heavy duty and non heavy duty?

Classic Heartbeat · 05-18-2011, 10:56 AM

What all does the kit entail? I know that if the high beam lights are wired into the kit the same way GM wired the GMC high beams, then you should be able to just cut off the high beam plug. WES

Did a search...

Disregard if you meant the heavy duty headlight wiring harness kit.

It must fit them both as on page 69 it says it fits GMC 67-72

If you want to sell them I am definately interested!

Larry... like Wes said above, you can just cut off the high beam (2-prong) connectors or trim them out. That's what I would do, if you need a harness for a Chevy. The remaining 3-prong plugs have high, low, and ground for 7" single headlamps.

Or just sell the harness. I doubt it could be returned after that much time.

thx for the second opinion agreeing with Wes ,, I will put them away until I get to it.. and install them ..

Or just tape the extra high beam wire back. No biggie, unless you are building a show truck. The lights will not know the difference.
