I'll cut the hole to make them work....I just don't want to do all that work to find out they look to rice!

I first saw the g wagon headlights on a 60's camaro on the cover of a magazine so I did some searching and found a place that sells them near my house and for the the L.E.D's i found them on you tube on a jeep.

i dont know i have thought about how they might look myself in the past few weeks. i did see one of lmc trucks old catalog covers had a picture of them mounted in one of our trucks.
the too deep think could be solved by cutting out the core support i think.

I think I'm leaning towards the LEDs... Imagine how bright those would be in our trucks! 8)

For my :2cents: the L.E.D ones look good, the Projector ones look to modern...

I like the LED. They dont stick out to much. The others stick out like a sore thumb. How do you wire the LED's???

I almost bought some of those one day but when I saw them on my friends (c-10) i changed my mind. They really don't work like a real
projector and the plastic lense fades quick.

On your lowered truck I think the LEDs would look cool, but if you're keeping a bump looking more stock, I'd say stick with the old school sealed beams. With sealed halogen bulbs wired directly to the battery source power via a relay, those lights are bright enough for me.
