Title: 82 Headlight Conversion
Post by: Tanner on October 21, 2004, 08:55:00 am
Well I have to say I really like the looks of the 85 (I think) a little newer headlight pattern.  You know, the one where there are 4 headlights instead of 2.  Anyway what I was wondering is if they are all the same size.  I haven't had the time to measure or try to move my headlights.  Though if they are the same size I will just go to the junkyard and grab two more 82 headlights and stick them in below the ones in there.  See at night, I can't see.  So I won't mind having 4 highs and 4 lows.  It will help me not to hit the many deer that run about up here in Michigan.

The 2 headlight system uses larger lights. The "quad" light set up will require you to change the core support so the head light baskets can be mounted correctly. You can reuse the grill and only have to relocate the turn signals. If you can find a donor truck the cost in minimal. It just takes a little time to do.

P.S.
   don't forget the wiring harness from the quad light system
