A few lighting upgrades for my '83.

[83GMCK2500]

GMT-800 DRW rear clearance light:



I had this for my '07 but since that isn't going to happen I wanted to put it on something. I installed it this last weekend, centering it and filing the holes to the proper square dimensions for the OEM clips that I purchased with the light. David (88GMCTruck) finished up the wiring tonight for me.

This weekend when I was underneath the truck looking it over (ujoints, adjust clutch, oil change, etc) I noticed that my license plate lights were non-existent. The lenses were there, but no bulbs or sockets.

4,300K H4 HIDs:
--Low--

--High--






These are the preliminary aiming pictures on the garage door at dusk, so there is still quite a bit of natural light out. If it wasn't raining like the dickens right now I'd have full night shots to share.

A couple months ago I picked up a bulb & ballast kit for my headlights. I have been looking for a nice set of Bosch or Hella H4 lenses in the H6054 size. Those have a tendency to be rather $$$ and a friend of mine just happened to have a set of E-Code Autopal lenses that he would GIVE me so guess what? Yup, went with the Autopals for the time being. This is all temporary anyway (couple years) as this truck will eventually get the dual beam core support, grille, and associated parts and I will HID it more properly then.
