I bought these from ebay and installed them with a ultra blue white H-4 bulb from ebay also, for around 85 bucks shipped!

did you put a relay harness in for it? or was it just straight plug in?

^^^^^^....what clyde said...Mahalo

jcis4me · 09-30-2010, 01:43 PM

I bought h-4 straight plug ins I have to go to work right now but I will look up the guy who sells the lights real cheap higher shipping from overseas Japan I think.
So far in two months of use no overheating problems, all I did was change the light housings (which come with a h-4 light already installed) and put in the I think 8005 brightness lights?
Ok here is the ebay seller...

OldSkool71,

I live in SoCal... so if you want to check out my Xenon lighting setup you can.

Also, I would be interested in seeing/learning about your gas tank relocation as having more space behind the seat (and the elimination of the gas sloshing sound) would be nice.

But these are plastic, yes? UV rays and a couple of good sand storms and they are history.
If they are glass then great!

Kiwi · 09-30-2010, 03:47 PM

I can't speak for the other types/brands of headlights discussed earlier in this forum, but the Xenon headlights (from Classic Industries) in my 1971 are glass.

Cbrown67 · 09-30-2010, 04:49 PM

kiwi the info you posted show for 88-98 will this work for the 67-72?

Kiwi · 09-30-2010, 05:46 PM

Cbrown67,

Huh?

1. The photo posted was from Classic Industries catalog for 67-72 Trucks.

2. Those are the exact part numbers that I used for my truck ... and the parts work/fit.

Maybe I'm missing something here.

Cbrown67 · 09-30-2010, 07:53 PM

hey man i circled in green what i mean

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-19-2010, 03:44 PM

Cbrown67, look at the left hand side. It is for 67-72's.

Cbrown67 · 10-19-2010, 04:05 PM

ahh yes my bad!

*stich626* · 10-19-2010, 04:38 PM

I like the ones with the led rings,
the blinding oncome'n traffic is an issue,but those eye lid covers that cover the top 1/4 of the glass , fixes this issue,

sixtyeightchevykid · 10-20-2010, 09:59 PM

what about the "diamond cut headlights" that classic industries sells? has anyone used them? do you need the wiring upgrade that they sell? would they be a direct fit with the original wiring? any info on these ?

This is such a wonderful forum. I just scored two 2008 Jeep headlights on Ebay for just under $60 and two adapters for about $15. Thanks for the great ideas.

This was before I tore it down for the restoration...
