I bought a similar set off amazon 2 years ago. I like the idea of a bulb only replacement but my unit just didn't have any distance to them just real bright up close. If you're going to spend $120 anyway go ahead and replace the whole headlight housings with 7 inch led replacements most are the same price for the pair. "5D led headlight" is what I search when i'm bored. If you don't care about a DRL in the headlight itself you should be able to get a 9007 to H4 adapter to get them going. Good Luck

Agreed, for that price you can buy the Philips lights I threw in my rig. They are pretty bright for the price and look awesome IMO. I don't care the JW Speaker of the ones above. Some love them but I personally don't.


Here's some pics of mine:

Are they HID bright, well no, nothing is going to be HID bright. However, they will be a hell of a lot more reliable that HID's.

I'm sure that's what they are. They're just from Amazon and state Philips but who knows. Nothing said Philips on the lights themselves lol. They work and they work pretty darn great for the price!


Thanks BTW, I love when others appreciate the work I've put into that old truck Too bad my build thread isn't on this forum. Lots of ideas in there for projects when you get bored lol.

Can anyone share any opinions on the Truck Lite ? I'm looking to upgrade from OEM and hoping for a direct fit without any cutting.

I had Truklights in my rig for a while, they are 24 volt military lights so I had to use 12-24 volt converters for them to work. I like them but switched to my current lights.


I actually still have the Truklights. If you're interested I'll sell them you.


Here's some pics of those:

They are a direct fit, no trimming needed unlike my new ones.

I went the trucklite route. Search the threads i did a few posts with pics etc. I am really pleased. Much brighter than stock, and easy to install. I also used the anti flicker harnesses. Bought it all of Amazon.com
