    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    Some people just get tired of it i think. It does make it nosier and you have to run 91 octane. Need to keep up better on maintenance. Or its just cause people sold the truck or bought it and never put it on and don't need it anymore.

    I put these new headlights in. So much better than sealed beams, they look better too. I busted most of the grill clips and had to stop by the dealership to buy some more.

    Looking good man! I'm running similar headlights on 95. (avatar pic) I went with the Sylvania ZXe h4 bulbs. Basically makes the old sealed headlights look like weak flashlights haha. Never going sealed beams ever again!




    I got mine off ebay for like $32 for the pair haha. Just look up "diamond crystal 7x6 headlights." The "baller" ones are the ones found on www.RoundEyes.com. I've had no problems with my ebay ones though.

    I'm excited to test them out out night, I need to adjust them though. These were like the only ones that I could find that don't have the little blue led or whatever under the actual bulb.
