Funny, I grabbed a set from a 2013 Wrangler today. Not plug and play, did you have to get some sort of adapter? The Wrangler lights I have a 3 pin and my 72 is a 2 pin set up.

Re: new headlights

Pics look good. Have you done the relay mod to ensure full voltage to (thus maximum output from) the new lamps?

You should post a pick of your plug. Every truck I have owned is a 3 pin plug at the headlight.

Yes I did that also, just didn't snap a pic of it. And mine is also 3 pin. Everything was plug and play

Re: new headlights

If it was 2 pin you wouldn't have high and low beam in one bulb. My GMC has 4 headlights and they are all two pin plugs because they are separate high and low beam lights. All Chevys will be 3 pin plugs. One wire is ground, one is Low beam power and the 3rd wire is high beam power.

Re: new headlights

Where did you get these? I have all the different catalogs, but just want to know which ones these are? They look Great! My new 383 Stroker in my 1970 Short/Wide will be done by end of next week and want to order some of these to put in! Thanks!

Re: new headlights

How much of an improvement would these lights be over standard halogen? I have halegen in my truck with the harness upgrade and I see pretty well at night.
