Need help on understanding what i need for headlights

I am looking to add the heavy duty headlight harness that LMC offers. I also wanted to upgrade to sylvania silverstar halogen bulbs. Could use some assistance on what exactly i need. I have an 87 R10 and i am looking to replace all four lamp housings as they are fogged over and condensating on the inside. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Need help on understanding what i need for headlights

You will need the 4 lamp housings to fit your truck, 4 bulbs (2 low and 2 high) and the wire harness. Depending on the wire harness, it should be pretty straight forward. A battery connection, a couple relays and some ground wires.

As far as I know they don't make composite headlights for the 4 light 89-91's...
I hope someone can prove me wrong!

There are some.....they are specifically for the camaro's and firebirds with the same size lights. While they are better than the stockers....this is the main reason I went from 89-91 front to the earlier style. For me where I go off road at night...I wanted euro housings which could only be found for the earlier style. Can search for the camaro light website I found b4 if you'd like. Or, there are the ones that lmc sells.

To the OP. I believe with the LMC harness and the Silverstar bulbs....the only other thing you would need is the light housings themselves. What kind do you want? Clear lense where the reflector directs the light, or fluted lens where the lense directs the light?

My post was supposed to say: I can search for the Camaro site if you'd like.

Obviously you can look too, but I'd probably have an easier time finding it.


Edit: Here's the site. They're the 4701 and 4703.
