    You'll still need turn signals so either a different bumper or make some holes

    Your best option would be Hella E-Codes and a decent bulb from Philips/Osram.

    If you want full legal you would have to get the Hella Vision Plus. Similar to ECE E-Codes but the cutoff isn't as sharp

    i dont like those. these h4 conversions will help with the 80s look, and are easily replaceable. thanks for the suggestion tho :)

    Falls under the category,"If you have to ask?". Bad look for your truck or any truck.

    An H4 relay harness would make them even brighter and evenly lit plus take the power strain from the headlight combo switch. Most find just upgrading to a relay harness vastly improves the stock headlight output.

    Please don’t put those on your truck. Your truck is perfect just how she rolled off the factory floor. Best body style
