It looks like there's square versions also.

Hat tip to @Coontail for the heads up on the Hella lights, much appreciated.

About to hit the rack. Had a good drive and felt good to unwind. 77 ran strong 13 mpg overall and the headlights are definitely an improvement! Racing starts bright and early. More pics to follow and if I figure out the GoPro I’ll try some videos. Pork chops for dinner, dog 2.0 ate her share lol

I've always been impressed with the improvement from the Hella conversions.

Thanks for the links, just ordered up some rectangle Hella h4's for my ride. Got a hole in one of the sealed beams, figured time to upgrade.

I have been searching for the best headlights for awhile. I couldn’t resist getting the h4 led bulbs after my last trip thinking they’d be brighter, well they are. No more yellow tinted lights.

Added the flood lights to the pencil beams. Now the lights can match the suspension on the fire roads and race retrieval. Probably cook food too lol. No longer lacking light.

There's a lot of that in the desert at night. I think you got it covered now. Great setup for sure!

 

[Desert_K5]

They’re cheapo lights and I was surprised how bright they are. I don’t expect the housings will last long but I couldn’t stomach the cost of the name brands. This set is under $200 and came with harnesses. I won’t feel bad if they get smashed or fly off.

Second retrieval of the race by the 77. Car was on fire upon arrival. Driver/co-driver okay new car totaled. Back to racing! Poser shot included.

Scrolling some old pics. I had this K5 that I should have kept. I'm looking for another square to add to the fleet. K5, Suburban or even a crew cab. I'm kicking myself for letting a couple trucks go. Also going back to white on the F250. I'm tired of looking at the current wrap.
The dually is where the shell went to from @1-ton dually we parted out. Smooth looking ride from California. It was a dead match for color.

Anyone on the western/center of the country wanting to trade for the F250 I'm open to dealing for another 4x4 square. I'm not looking for anything fancy or built up or thrashed. It has to be rust free or close to it. We can possibly trade up or down depending on the swap. If you want specs on the Ford let me know. She is a solid truck and it's the good V10. Never had plug problems like some era of them. I have no hesitation to take it anywhere.

The 77 has come along way since the first pics! @Fastereddie has hooked it up.

Have a great weekend my square Brothers!

Thanks to Kris for the cool pics at Blazer Bash. Backwards Bill where I smacked my fender lol. Passenger, Passenger, bang, whoops I meant driver hahaha.

Super exciting update for me. I took a spin around my new state and I did it in the 77. Its been about a year since i started it up. I figured out how to get in and away i went. Ptobably need to fly the jolly roger now hahaha!

This area is beautiful.
