I got rid of the driving lights under the bumper. They are hella 550 comet Driving lights.
When I had halogens, I had them wired in to come on with the high beams, and they were aimed upwards and outwards for more ditch vision. Back Then They helped. Now they do nothing...lol

I think I had a writeup on here at one time about this back in the day but photobucket destroyed it when they broke the internet years ago.

Here's a vid from tonight I made from 2011 pics...
The hella lens vs the H6024 sealed beam... I can;t recommend the hella lenses more...

Nice post Chevyrado, very informative and motivating!
I have anemic lights on my '78, will check out the part numbers you cite.
Thanks!
As an aside, while your post got a few view/reads, there appears to be a serious lack of activity on this board.
Can't point directly to the reason, but it is noticeable.

Everyone's on tiktok and such and a lot of the younger guys like keeping secrets to themselves to look cooler. They don't share every find like we do so more Squarebodys guys can succeed. They keep it to themselves to seem like some kind of sage that finally found out something a lot of guys knew for 50 years. makes em look cooler to people that don;t know any better.
I miss the old days on here. If it was me... The second I found out something new to me, I posted it because I wanted each and every one of you to know what I found out and fix your trucks like i did mine. I never hid anything for likes or whatever . Thats gone now, newer kiddos with squares (not all of them) keep it to themselves like magicians to impress people that know less than they do and get massive likes and comments for the algorythim.

The other reason I posted this was because I had helly lots of write ups in the past when I rebuilt my truck. And write ups slow everything down immensely... but i did it for my fellow square guys. The problem was I used photobucket, and when they went pay I couldn't afford it at the time so I lost everything. Nowadays I'da been able to afford it and would have kept my account up just for this site. but its gone now. all my write ups are blank of pics.

That pisses me off endlessly.

I can't say enough about these hella lenses. And they look stock. My main problem with newer led lights is they don't look stock. my truck looks very stock except the wheels. These look wonderful when they're off during the day and work wonderful at night.

I made this and din post it yet. these are pics I had from my writeup in the past. with my redneck butt talking...

I may not come on here too much anymore but I'll slways be a site supporter. This website helped me through my build in so many ways I'll always be grateful. Even if I don;t post so much I'll still support this site Chris has made and keeps maintaining for us.
I should have some truck stuff coming up when I get to it. My AC doesnt work because the AC fuse melted the fuse panel. While I fix that I have to put in all new dash vents and a new AC switch control panel. I also have to put in a new dual tank switch under the truck. I have a full tank of gas right now i can;t use...lol When I get to them I will be posting stuff up about it.
These days my main toy I been working on is my 97 Z28 Daily Driver.
