I've noticed that LMC, and a few other companies, have a headlamp relay/wire loom kit for adding halogen, or "Euro style" headlamps. Has anyone used one of these, and are they worth the money? Also I want to add cab lights.......looking for a style that would be close to what was available in the 60's. Any suggestions? Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 546 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 546 |

Standard Haligens are just as good. You can make up the relay system yourself but at there price you wouldnt save much. I put the high 5 lights on some of my trucks like Jmoore linked to. They are available at LMC also. You can see them on my 70 with the link on the bottom of my post.

Best lamp on the market, and will install with no modifications. I'm running them on both of mine and love them.

I'm going to get some, as they look period correct. Longbox, are those headlights halogen? Why are they better than others? Thanks for the replies!

They put out a nice, clear, white light without being too harsh (like the hid/projector beams). They also have oe type lenses and mountings, so they are a direct replacement as far as fitment and aiming. They also work fine with the stock harness, no funky wiring/relays needed to make them work.

That is what convinced me to put them on.
