Have a pair of classic V2's on order for about a month now. Just called today and was told "ship soon" Hope to see how they fit in the near future.

My headlights showed up today. Other than the expected modification for the depth in the buckets due to the V2's larger projector. There is no problem with the orientation. "Top" on the headlights is aligns perfect with the detents in the mounting bucket.

I'm running them, didn't have to make any modifications. It was a snug fit though.

What did you guys do with the little square transformer?

Ordered the V2's with HID bulbs so I have several pieces to mount. Plan is to use 3M double sided permanent tape as I did on my 94 HID upgrade. Has held for years. No fear, it still comes off. Used it for the control box on my powered steps as well.

A thought popped into my head today while modifying one of the reproduction 69-72 headlight buckets to fit the larger V2's. Picked up reproduction to modify incase it would not work out. What year is your truck? 67-68 trucks use the same bucket on both sides. A 69-72 uses a left and right bucket. If 69-72 make sure buckets are on the correct side. You said "not the OE7's" What lights do you have?

I thought about the tape, but was afraid it would eventually fall off/ Ill have to try that. Thanks!
