I used Jeep Wrangler headlights in my '67 Panel Truck. Jeep JK Wrangler headlights are a direct bolt in swap for the old sealed beam headlights in our trucks. They even have the 3 lugs on the back for alignment and use the stock '67-'72 trim rings. The headlights have more dome to the lense than the originals. I went ahead and bought the headlight conversion pigtails for the swap too.

I bought both on e-Bay. Here are the actual pigtails I bought and the headlights I bought were from a private seller that changed his over to something different. They are in excellent condition. You have to be careful because there are a lot of look alikes. They do make exact replacements too but you have to watch, some of them come with bulbs and some don't. The easy way to tell the OEM's are by the back. I think the lights are the same from 2007-2015.

I did the same conversion myself. I also did the relay harness and I’m pleased with the improvement over the factory lighting.

Can you drop the exact type of light housing used? Are they LED? I see so many on flea-bay and they're not cheap. My intention is to update the look, the usage, and the life of lights for my 1970 Chevy K20.
Thank you in advance!
