'91 front clip swap done

my burb is the 90 gmc with the lights like that and i actualy thought about doing a swap for 74-78 front clip but it would have to be in EXELENT condition

I wish you were closer... I would trade ya my 74 clip for your 90 clip...
 
Hey James.....

How are you liking the Iroks? They're what I'm leaning toward...

Man, the forums been freaking on me the last day or 2, it keeps losing the second and 3 pages of threads.. My original post is the last one I'm seeing.. grrrrr... :confused: :mad: :haha:

edit... grrrrr.... now they just showed up when I posted this.... :confused: :haha:
 
Looks really good. If you happen to find some headlamps that are much brighter than stock, post up! My stock ones are terrible....but no where near as pathetic as the ones on my '05 Ram!

This is why I'm going the other direction. The plan is to put the 79's front clip on my '91 That gets me some real headlights, not some clear turn signals that think they're headlights.
If someone on the left coast wanted mine it would motivate me to move on that project. :D
 
nuddybuddy to resize just go and open the pictures in "paint" go to the top and go to "Image" then "stretch/skew" and it will resize them to what ever you want
 
have you re aligned the lights after the lift? mine actually work pretty good once i got them aligned.
 
The aiming of the beams is actually pretty good, but I can see where the light simply doesn't have enough "volume" to illuminate out there far enough. (I'll have to re-do it shortly as I am changing the ride height/atittude.) They just do not have enough light for more than 70 mph in the dark, dark desert nights. Maybe if I converted them to HID.......

when you find a way to convert to HID let me know! i know with the older style headlights you can convert to bulbs, but with the 91 clip those lights are smaller and wont work wit the conversion

You can convert the 89-93 GM small headlights from a sealed beam to a composite lamp... Do a search on here somebody has done it. ;) :D

IMHO it isn't worth the time. The lens & reflector are too tiny to do much good.
 
Yeah, too bad you didn't keep the old look because you could have had quad 100 watt H4s in there like me! Haha, I'm just jokin of course. Other than the light issue I think the 89+ front end looks a little better so nice job man! :thumb:

Yeah I agree its still a crappy small size but if somebody really wanted to they could convert over
