Ahh whatever the local auto shop had in stock. The kid behind the counter asked me if I wanted standard replacements or the "really sweet ones". I was cringing inside thinking really sweet would be very spendy, then he tells me the price for the sweet ones! Around 30 bucks per side, so I threw down the big money for the "really sweet ones".
Stock replacement halogen bulbs. They last just as long as any fancy new ones and can be bought at any auto parts store or walmart along the highway for a fraction of the cost of the fancy one you have to order.
May I assume you've tried all three?
If so, do you have pictures of the beam pattern on the road? Wouldn't mind something better than the two light spots on the road surrounded by darkness.
Anyone tried the Vision X sealed beam replacements? Converts the headlight to use 9007 bulbs, very common. I've got some headed my way, will report back results. Will also put in the LMC headlight harness to be safe.
Don't use the LMC harness. its made by putco and its garbage. Get the painless one its way nicer, with zero mods. I put the painless harness on one of my trucks and the stock headlights got way brighter, then I replaced with hella european lenses with 80/100w bulbs. stepped into the 21st century. And they aren't annoying like all these idiots nowadays that run around with HIDs and LED lightbars that blind everyone.
Yeah, I bought one of those putco ones and I don't think the relays lasted more then 15 minutes, no inline fuse before the relays and the connectors were not built to good tolerances. The painless one is P/N 30815. It can be installed perfectly into these trucks. The only thing you'll have to do is cut the one plastic connector down a little bit that plugs into one of your headlight plugs as the relay signal because the factory headlight connectors work on a 90* and it bottoms out before making electrical contact in the connector. Takes 30 secs to do with a knife. You'll notice it when you go to put it together and its not a big deal. The painless one is also all waterproof with the relays and fuse holder all having packard wire seals. The picture shows what connector needs to be cut down a bit. No worries about this, it still fits snug and perfectly afterwards. You'll be so surprised how well your headlights brighten up after this. Especially with a headlight upgrade like you plan.
