It's best to use Photobucket, or some kind of hosting site, but for loading pictures straight from your phone to the mobile website:

I'm a-thinkin' I might be ordering a pair of those real soon, myself. Thanks for the pointer!
If you don't mind, please let us know your impression of them once you've been behind 'em for a bit.
You'll like the difference the relays make. The improvement is pretty dramatic no matter what you've got out front, but with fresh housings and new premium lamps it's downright grin inducing.

Well, Saturday was snowing and rather cold here in Western New York State so I put off till today to install the head light assemblies I got from SpeedDaddy, an eBay store. The whole job took just shy of an hour, that includes locating the tools nessecary, ( between my tractor shed, the garage, and the basement, I have tools I forgot I had!!!! lol) pulling the old ones out, and installing the new ones.
A 1/4" drive ratchet,6" extension, a 10mm shallow socket,
a #2 phillips, and a 10mm ratcheting box wrench(or a regular 10m wrench) is all that are needed
The Phillips is used only to take the side marker/turn lens off upon removal. Possibly not nessecary, but that's the way I did it. I however installed the new units complete, with marker still attached. I did not loosen the bumper as was suggested. It sure would have made it a bit easier tho!!
Here are the old and new side by side to give an idea of the differance
And once again after installation
Not really helpful, but here they are lit up

No AC, it did once in its life, but the P.O. took it out, no condenser, or compressor. evaporator tubes cutoff near heater hoses... another reason I got her CHEAP. I think at one time it was a N.J. tunnel authority truck, then someone bought it, I bought from the second guy.
