    space out the back of the bulb mount somehow? that way the bulb doesnt seat all the way in.. allowing it to sit further back.

    Only thing I could think of was cut the plastic a little but not sure it would work. Plus I need these to work when I put other headlights back in. So I might grin and bear it....the sight of the Amber :puke: color is killing me but maybe just till summer.

    Oh well....maybe i'll say fuck it and go see Burt who moved here a short bit ago and do the retro headlights. Green Halos, Oregon Duck theme hydro-dipped housing.....hmmmm...$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I thought of that...like a wheel spacer type deal but then I might get fogging again if it doesnt seat right

    I almost bought those headlights you have but decided to go with the all clear OEM look. They fogged within a few days after install. That's when my buddy did the B&WHLM for me. They did good for a year.

    And I tottaly agree...if it ain't broke leave it alone!!!!

    I wanna go for this but I can't see spending the $$$$

    BUMP.. new pics. this is OBO.. this truck has been garage kept, but has been used as a work truck occasionally, but it is still in good to great condition. comfortable, quiet, smooth, has every feature and comfort addition available. at one point.. i almost bought this for myself years ago. i have seen this thing in action, have driven it, and it has even pulled me out of some pretty gnarly situations when I had my Wrangler. this is a great truck for the price.

    nice guys!

    so spent the weekend doin little TLC things to the truck. washed it for the first time in like 8 months.. still in the process of finishing it. doing a thorough wash, scratch removal, wax, and interior detail.

    removed the beadlock rings, peeled the old derp off and ground down some of the gouges and tears that I got from running Elvis. in the process of derpin those again.

    painted my aluminum center caps.

    fixed my front fender

    cleaned up the headlights

    picked up some red caliper paint and gonna order red extended brake lines front and rear

    Ordered the rebuild kit for my 1" uniball Burg arms I picked up from Alex.. (thanks again homeslice!)

    In the next couple weeks ill have those on, the truck will be finished and lookin all puuuurty and have some new goodies and looks.
