Thought single round was one low one high and one ground

Anybody got a link to that thread where the guy used the lenses out of an acura to make the home made projectors? Though I'm not sure if that would work with my headlight size. I have the 4 square setup.

Also does anyone know what the actual bulb size is for the factory headlights on an 87, 4 headlight setup? It seems like everywhere just sells a whole new headlight with a bulb included.

Well, that other guy looked like he put some other kind of bulbs in there. To make the different colors. I know many are composite, I was just hoping there were some that are not.

I have h4 conversion housing, I posted a link to ebay for them on a previous page of this topic. They accept H4 bulbs.

Think these will fit my silverado? I have the four square headlight setup. This is the same company you recommended. Only thing that concerns me is their little vehicle look up thing says that they won't fit an 87 r10 silverado. And looking at the back, it looks like they might be missing some of the required mounting places.

Find out what housing type you have. My housong are 6024's. Find your type, and then search ebay for "xxxx h4 conversion" and find the housing right for you.

Where exactly did you go to find out that number? I have been looking at autozone and oreilly's and some other places for reference numbers but I can't find anywhere that talks about the number you are referring to. All of them seem to have individual part numbers supplied by the manufacturing company. Maybe I'll just call the dealership.

Quick google search, your bulb type is 6054.

But, im not entirely sure how square headlights mount. On round headlights, there is a metal ring that goes around the outside of the headlight and screws into the bucket. I can only assume square headlights are the same.

Thanks. Mine are actually 4x6 not 7x6 but I see what you're saying.

EDIT: Called them up and they don't sell them for my year. Also I don't think a typical H4 style bulb will just plug right in to the factory harness. Oh well I'll find them somewhere else. I'll post up where I find 'em at so it'll be easier for anyone else who might look for them.

As long as theyre the right measurements theyll fit. Mind werent vehicle specific either. Show me a picture of you harness for you bulbs. Did you want the housings on high or low beam?

Why not start by adding relays on what you have?  It will make your headlights brighter and if you're still not happy you'll be glad you have the relays when you do upgrade.
