i have the early 97 with the headlights that no one makes anything for. does anyone know what it takes to use the later lights? specifically the lightning lights. i wanna toss in some HID's but my yellow lenses arent cool.

 

Are you talking about the one piece headlights?

 

Yeah I guess that's the ones I have, the corner and headlights come out as an assembley then you can unscrew the corner lights..

 

You can use any headlights from 1997-2003. Correct me if theres something different about the early 1997 models, but I don't think there is.

 

yeah if it was made pre 7/96 they are different. i know LMC makes some but i was hopin i could swap in a later model aftermarket on the cheap.

 

I have seen a bunch of one piece sets on EBay. It just takes some time to find them.

 

I'm just curious now. . . So will a late 1997-2003 aftermarket headlight still fit right?

 

Well i guess thats what your asking. . .I'm a little slow sometimes.

 

yeah thats what im tryin to figure out and i know im not the only guy with this problem... come on guys... help a brutha out...

 

no, I believe that you need a different header panel, as the mounts for the early 97's had a two piece mount with a part that the lights sat in, and then the entire assembly fir into the truck.

I think there was a thread about this same problem a while back. try searching through the threads a bit and see if you can find anything.
