Re: Headlight options
I would check out a well known brand, like Pilot or Hella. Check out the manufacturer's website when you can to see what info you can find out about that particular light before just buying something that is claimed to be legal on ebay or something. I've been burned a couple times by headlights that claimed to be street legal, or are "better than sealed beams" but didn't list the manufacturer. They turned out to be a cheap item, meant for off road use only (like a full-on show vehicle or not intended to be driven at night) and I didn't get a decent light pattern no matter what I tried.
I think the last set of replacement lights I bought were from Pilot Automotive. They use the same H4 style bulbs as the cheap-o lights, but worked much better. I believe they actually said DOT approved.
If you have the 7" sealed beam on Chevy's (not the 5-3/4" quad light on the GMC's), the newer Jeep Wrangler is supposed to have the same size lights that can be swapped into our trucks. I can't remember the years for certain, but I believe 2007-2013? I haven't done it though.
