Got um for the newer model truck with the 4 headlight system? 81-87 to be specific.

I didn't see them in the catalog but next time I place an order I will ask them.

I saw a kit on ebay once for the H4 conversions and it was for the 4 headlight square systems.

here is a comparison of a Sylvania Halogen and a H4 unit

Rick,

Those new bulbs will fit my 79?
I got round bulbs already, just wanna make
sure they are going to be the right size and
eveything.

PLUS, how much shipped to 77502?
Just so I already know...

[rickspickuppart]

they will fit on the truck and I could ship them for 9.46

I didn't get it from Ricks, but I bought the 81-87 conversion. Diamond back with the H4 bulbs. I don't have a night picture, but here's a day time one.

I also completely rewired my system to handle the higher wattage bulbs.

This will help you understand what I did.

[Destructo]

Where did you get that kit? And do you have to re-wire it to handle the bulbs or will they work alright without re-wiring? I don't really want to re-wire the whole system just to upgrade the head-lamps.

I got it off E-Bay. ProCarParts.com I think?? The higher wattage bulbs required the rewiring. It wasn't hard or even that expensive.

Thanks for the info, i'll go check it out. That wiring diagram looks pretty easy to do and I guess if I want the H4 setup i'll need to do it anyway.

Is this similar to what you put in yours?

This says no modifcation required, but it also looks like it only comes with 2 bulbs so I would need two sets for the high beams also.

Similar, but for the 4 headlamp system, you need the 4x6, not the 6x7. They only come packaged in twos, so I had to order 2 sets to get the 4 I needed.

[Destructo]

Ohh, ok. So I need a 4x6 kit, I couldn't remember what size the lamps were.
