ask steve, he did it on his truck. there is also a harness you can buy. i think on your year you might have to do alittle trimming to get them to fit but nothing major.

if you follow that thread on pavementsucks, you'll find the vender for the sport lights and the wiring harness. when I installed mine, the wiring that was in the tread was wrong, they made an attempt to correct it but it was still wrong. i'm not sure if they ever got it right but I just ended up ohming out the bulbs & wiring and figured it out myself.

If anyone ever needs it I can always go take a look at mine and let you know how I did it.

light output is awesome!

I converted my truck to sport style headlights so I could see better at night (4 headlight bulbs with sport headlights vs. 2 headlight bulbs for the stock headlights). To get the most out of the new headlights and not melt my headlight switch, I purchased a relay/fused style harness from these folks - https://ceautoelectricsupply.com/hea...ion-relay-kit/

I believe LMC truck may make a less pricey harness with relays, but not sure if it works properly when converting from non-sport headlights to sport headlights.

While pricey, the harness I'm using is very well made and was very easy to install. In addition, the headlights are now really bright and I can see much better while driving at night.
