I am almost sure it is each. It says 2 in the required column. I love the euros that I put in my 72. They are a little different, but these look great too. They are much brighter and look a little nicer than plain bulbs. Only drawback with mine is I had to rewire the headlight circuit. The truck didn't have heavy enough wiring to handle the new high watt bulbs. Simple fix though. I put a relay in for the bright and another for the dim and no more problems. I love my lights now. Also, I have a cool little bulb in mine that turns them red. Cool effect after dark. That's the only difference I see between these and mine. Sorry for rambling on, but thats my :2cents: .

i am now intrigued by the red bulb. do you have any more info on them?

i think i may switch to the euro lights. i already have a relay because my switch went out which made the headlights blink on and off randomly so i put a relay in so the headlights come on with the ignition.

They are an APC light. Look at my site listed in my signature for pics of how they look turned on. If you have more questions, I'll try to answer them, just ask me.

would you happen to have a part number for those bulbs? and is the red the actual high beam low beam light or is it a running light kind of thing? does it put out red light on the road? sorry for the questions but these have peaked my curiosity.

thanks

2 answers at once here. The headlights had the bulbs made in. AS far as the part number, I can't remember. You might try their website. I have the bulbs hooked up to come on independent of the light switch. They are only a show bulb. If the headlights are on, they will add a red twinkle to the light that oncoming traffic can see. You wont notice it. If you can't fdind a number, let me know and I'll try to help.

The interior is coming out of the truck. I have a grey split bench seat and grey headliner. I have already installed black door panels. Later, I plan to have a grey and black theme with blue exterior. Thanks for the compliment though. I really appreciate it.
