I called my local Junk/Salvage yard and they have quite a few in stock and only $35.00 a pair !!!!! at that price I am probably going to stop by on Thursday and pick a pair up just to see how close a fit they are.

I'd like to see a completed set myself. I'm sure there would be some serious modification to get them adjusted properly. I could see making some trim out if stainless to make them look better. The PO on my car deleted the headlights so if I could get a decent amount of light I may drive my car more. Looks interesting to me.

Not having headlights never stopped you from driving at night before!!

^^ agreed, it looks like he used the Silverado headlight plastic mount as well and installed it upside down, if possible you could try and detach the headlight and place it right side up with the mount upside down. Hope fully you won't have to weld a bar in place to attach them, of course aluminum bar with selftaping screws would work.

Are these just fog, or fog&driving? Last year I took the plastic reflector out of the driving light side & replaced them with reflectors & bulbs I ordered from KC Hilites. Hooked them up to my Iceshark harness with a driving lite harness from Robby. Works great.

these are headlights from a Chevy Silverado, mounted upside down. Honestly I bet the road vision is really good since your using 2 bulbs instead of one. Also since it has the mounting bracket you probably can adjust them to angle correctly.

I may go pick a set of these up today and breath some new life into this thread as I purchased the headlight delete header panel and will need a solution. Car is tagged historic doubt the local police will mind much or care. Will update this by wednesday.

Ok i ordered a set of blacked out 98 chevy headlight housings with installed projectors, I will let you all know when they show up and how i plan to mount them. Also they do have the super ricey leds(which will not be hooked up!) Hopefully no one will notice. Also no halo/angel eye light ring. Luckily having a shop and the lift will make working on it a lot easier.
