Head light sizes for 86' C20
« on: December 23, 2015, 02:14:09 am »
Hey Guys,

I have a 86 C20 that uses 5 1/2" x 8" size headlights. I want to replace them with something more custom, but almost all of the sizes I find are 4'' x 6" and the websites Im using to shop around all say that they fit my 86? Has anyone had a similar issue? Do you have to buy some sort of conversion kit for the bezels?

5 1/2" x 8" or 200mm headlights are for trucks with single headlights. Meaning 1 headlight per side. 4" x 6 1/2" or 165mm headlights are for trucks with dual headlights. Meaning 2 headlights per side or 4 total. You're just looking at the wrong parts.
