Thread: H4 Halogen 8 3/4 Headlights?

Tweet

36 to 38 trucks are a little more difficult as they were not all that popular and you just have to root around on the web for parts .. if you find a set of headlight trim rings for a 37-38 let me know..
i think a set of ford truck lights might be fitted to your 36 , im sure someone will be able to tell us both whether it can be done or not , but ford truck lights are easier to find..BTW i tried a set of after market chrome lights on my trucks that was a little bit smaller , i removed them faster than it took to put them on , in three words
"looked like sh%t"

I agree! The big lights just look right on these trucks. I did find a site that sold a frenching kit for modifying the lights for H4, I assume. But, the glass is still going to be smaller. I'll try to find the site again. If I run across the trim rings for yours I'll let you know.

I'd be alright with the stock lights if I could just find a pair of lenses for them. I found a guy in Canada that sells odd-and-end lenses but he just had one with a big chip in the lense. I'll have to keep looking.

I'd be ok with the ones Denny found except I want the high beam too and I'd rather not make the local police mad. LOL's!

If you use the round 7" with the adapters for the buckets, these are dual filiment (low, high beams).

Thanks Denny, I'll check into it. Maybe I can keep the buckets and retro-fit the guts from this into mine.

Great....thanks. One more problem solved. Thanks much Denny!
