Default Aftermarket Headlights need help finding a set

I just bought a pair off the internet and it said they would fit my dodge dakota sport i just got them today and open them up and went out side and tore one of the headlights out and these head lights are way to small i measured them and the ones that was shipped to me were 4X6 and the ones in my dakota are 4 1/2 by 8 1/2 or something close to that so if anyone could please point me in the right direction to get a nice clear glass set for my truck i would really apperciate it thanks.

If it's a 1995, unless you can find someone to make them for you, it'll be plastic.

The glass, as 92DakotaClub said, was for 1987-1990 although most cross refs also list 1991-1995.

I'd check RockAuto - for the 1995, they do list both the 9004 and the 4666 as possible bulbs. And even better, they list http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...parttype=10762 the Aero composite plastic units.

actually the old style sealbeams were available in Canada anyway past 91, ive seen a 93 with sealbeams.. almost bought it since it had a clean 5.2 in it the front looks a little different due to the stretch then the older 87-90 style with flatter nose but I kinda liked the old look of the sealed beams

scroll down and will see a 91 with newer areo style sealed beams
