    I do too! Haven't opened it yet. I just want them on my truck but don't really want to go through the process of doing it myself. But for $120 for the kit I couldn't pass it up! Hopefully I'll have them done by the end of the month. hopefully they will come out looking as clean as this but for 1st gen headlight

    Thanks man! I do have one question already, lets see if I can explain it right.
    So when I put the projector in is there a certain way to do so? Is it the lightbulb that makes the beam at an angle or is it the projector? Do I put the headlight on my truck without the cover to get it straight then put the cover back on?

    Just slap it in like regular. There is a shield inside the housing that makes the cut off. Yup you get it all done except putting the cover back on and you line it up. Be sure to make measurements with tape on where your beam pattern is prior to starting

    Thanks!
    So I do all the adjusting with the cover off? What if when I put it all back together and find the headlights are too high, can I still adjust the height with the screw on the back of the headlight like normal?

    That's why you want to get it just near perfect prior to putting the cover back on. But I'm pretty sure you can still adjust the height in the back, I need to adjust mine but :rolleyes:

    Oh yeah it was. The entire thing showed very little wear at all for its age. There was only one problem though, it wasn't 4wd. Hence my truck now :)

    My dad had a couple of these - great memories - he had a 94 at one point too - wonder why I ended up with an 81, 97, and my 08? lol
