Hello Kentucky....That is a direct replacement OE style bulb. It not like new cars to swap in LED bulbs. You will need some relays and such....

Using the "Advanced Search" option will give you all kinds of help, and threads to read. You have to do some leg work for it ok?

Here is a great idea to go with it, the Heavy duty harness.

Its a good thing I have to rewire my truck anyways, but I'm trying to find a whole replacement -lens,housing, everything. I know its not just a bulb switch...

A set of E-Code Cibie Housings and these L.E.D. Bulbs should get you what you are looking for.

I thought I answered your question exactly like you asked it.

Why didn't you say "I'm trying to find a whole replacement -lens,housing, everything." ? The first time around?

No worries, I read headlight I think headlight. I found them links in a 5 sec google search.

Now I have some reading to do also....make sure to post up what you find and what works for you.
