Ok thanks so what wire would he have to cut to make them work? Would you have them use the low beam plug or the high beam plug to make it work?

Have the service manual for your truck yet? If not, get one here. Wiring diagrams are in section 8W. Since your truck was changed from quad headlights, to duals, somethings just aren't going to match up.

It actually is a rebuild yes but i think it is a factory sport because the headlight switch has the fog light built in, being in canada and the truck being from the US I can't go threw a local dealer to see what model truck it is with the serial number, and they are just the single lens headlights, I'll try to get some pics tonight

I'd be tempted to get the Sport dual bulb housings and get it back to stock.

Think I would make sure that the connectors for both headlights are there first...... I think he has a 'rebuilt' title, and they may have some sport stuff on there, but, it wasn't really a sport.

He said it was most likely a factory Sport. Can't imagine they would put in a different harness due to a wreck but I guess it could be.

Ok so I have a few pictures of the headlight, the truck has the big cut outs for the 2 bulb headlights and in the pictures you can see the cut off wires that were suposto go to the other plug, I believe it is a actual sport but since it is a states truck and I'm in canada I can't get a build sheet for it!!

I don't see a sport grille but the bumper is plastic so must've been wrecked and they just went to the junkyard quick.
