From what i've learned from this site, it can be done relatively easy. One mount point of the headlight buckets needs to have a spacer (or something like that). Have you concidered upgrading the headlight wiring too? Better wires and halogen bulbs work great. Or go the extra step and convert to H4 bulbs with composite headlight shells. Better wiring with relays is very much worth it!

I agree! I have 4 headlights and with everything rewired and reworked to H4 bulbs, it throws out a massive amount of light. If your looking for a cosmetic change then swap them out. For lighting performance, upgrade the 4 light system.

If you are going to a two headlight system, I have those and would be more than happy to send them to you if you send the four system to me. I have been looking for them for almost a year, but every truck around Las Vegas has two headlights. Let me know and make me happy.

Ive posted this before, but ill share it again.

My truck is Dodge viper Yellow. 8) I plan to buy two yellow motorcycle headlights that im sure youve seen running around on some of the sport bikes. these round and rectangle headlights are supposed to be a swap for car lights, except they are twice as bright.

anyway, i havent tried it but will do so when I roll the truck out.

I've seen web sites that sell paint for headlights. They take 2 weeks or more to cure. All kinds of colors. Or you could buy them already painted. I'm not sure if they're legal in all states. You might want to look into that before you cough up any money.

Washington State law requires a hood, but its not enforced.

With all the states going broke, you know, how they all have blown all their cash, it wouldnt surprize me to see the hammer come down.
