Decided I'd put this in here too from this thread http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=33845.msg288456#msg288456

I put LED's in my K20 for a few reasons. One being that I put a relay harness in and there was no difference. The voltage drop was less than .2V difference at best and two being that this truck has a phantom grille. I drive this truck very rarely at night but when I do it's awful because of the lighting. Since the grille does impact the lighting I decided to go with LED. I would never run LED's in a daily driver though, they are way too bright to oncoming vehicles. I'll post a few before and after pics. I replaced them on a dark rainy night to really see the difference. Pictures are as is, no filter.

Before with stock setup:

After with LED's

Another awesome truck! I'm glad your considerate of others with your lighting. Too many people don't care if they blind everyone else. I hope I can learn to do paint and body work at your level. Thanks for sharing all you do. It takes lots of time to take pictures and post them. Thank you.
