Help me get new lights for the girl

Post by Argie1978 »

Hi guys,
I cannot tell if this is actually a technical question, but I'm working in the electrical side of the truck and I will need to change the headlights as the ones in the truck aren't original AND not worth rescue them as I see their power is bad.

So, I was watching a video the other day and got my attention the set this guy applied to his truck.

This is the one I find the most similar: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153952370978?h ... SwDZphu47p
Anyone here tried 'em? Good performance?
They look very nice.

Also, I might need to add new rear stop/turn lights but wanna keep the retrofit:

For the rear set I've found this link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202024543347
Has anyone tried them here? Look very cool but I find the price quite high.
I can try to rebuild the original ones as they're not in good shape. But I cannot tell if the the government's technical test will approve the old military lights (here in Europe things can be pretty tough for collectible vehicles sometimes, that's another story one day I'll elaborate).

In case you're wondering: this is the vid: https://dai.ly/x3h2bk7
Quite nice restomod. When I get tired of originality I'll go for these kind of things.

That fool is just asking to have those late-model LED lights knocked off at any time.

What looks good and can use the original housings are Gama Goat lenses. They replace the original metal lenses with full round red.

They use all 3 lamps in the original housing. Or you can just buy the whole lamp unit new.

These are a nice. I will consider them, thanks.
I’ve been checking other brands for the front and still the ones I mentioned are the ones I like the most. But if the road test makes mandatory to use daylight running lamps seems I’ll need to go for other options.
