Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

It's reasonably simple and there are probably other ways to do it but here's what I did with a goal of being able to change the bulb without pulling the front off because that has the real possibility of changing the headlight adjustment which I didn't want. Cut the back off of the headlight bucket for access.(pic 1) Hole in seal beam holder/adjuster has to be ground out or cut out to 3 1/2" so H bulb fixture and grommet will fit through (pic 2) What modified assembly looks like (pic 3) Addition of a 4x4 CV boot for weather protection (pic 4) What the installed assy looks like (pic 5) The only difference is the lens is flat, not slightly curved like the old seal beam and I haven't trimmed the end of the CV boot yet and won't until I do the wiring loom. some may consider the boot overkill since the bulb is sealed from weather by it's own grommet but I wanted something since the assembly mounts in the fender.
