Headlight Upgrade from Rick's PU Parts
I received and installed my headlight kit from Rick's, wow! What a difference from my T3's! It was a complete bolt in (screw in?). I did not have to make any mods at all. I was even able to retain the moisture/dust boots. Kudo's to Rick's Pickup Parts, thanks.

What kind of upgrade is this? New sealed halo bulbs or something else? Any concerns of voltage draw? Just saw thread and wondered what its all about.

yup, it's the h-4 conversion. lens is glass,and comes w/ the blue tint bulb and the rubber dust boot. took my buckets into work and sand-blasted 'em,primered 'em, painted 'em flat black....buffed out the retaining trim ring and got new screws. just got done mounting the headlight into the bucket and securing it all w/ the trim ring.cool part is.....the dust boot goes through the hole in the bucket perfectly and seats the way it's supposed to. h-4 bulb utilizes our style of 3 prong plug so it is actually a bolt in up-grade. hope to get 'em installed tomorrow b-4 i go in to work (2nd shifter). one of my bulbs has a rattle in it......hope it ain't busted! other one seems to be okay, so we'll wait an see......

Mine
I bought these a few years ago at the]MYRTLE BEACH, at the RUN TO THE SUN Show. They make a world of difference driving at night. I think they were like $85.00
They bolted right in also with minor sanding and a little bit of grinding to fit the rubber boot in the back of the bucket. ![]()
