Well, finally got time this evening to put them in. The blinker did fit in the socket, now just need to get amber bulbs for them. Probably took me about an hour, maybe less to get both in.

Finally done. Changed the clear bulbs out for amber and fixed the blinker problem. Since the original headlights had two parking lights in each headlamp and the new only had room for one, I left the second one out, but that caused the hyper blinker problem. You can either put in a 6 ohm/50 watt resistor to simulate the bulb being there, or do what I did and just put the bulb back in and zip tied it to the truck somewhere under the hood. Everything seems to work, just need to fine tune the beam on the headlights, but they are pretty good right now. Hope this helps someone else out there.

I guess I didn't put a high beam photo on there. When you switch on high beams, the projectors go out and the inner lights come on.
