A big thanks to Apoc for selling me his old headlights! Just ordered a 200A alternator also. Mine was only charging up to 11.3V running, and is red hot after just running a few minutes.

Are those just the standard lenses with led replacements? If so do you need to cut in a resistor? Also hard to tell but is the light just real diffuse or it it still fairly focused like stock? Sorry for all the questions but i really want more light without getting into aftermarket add-on stuff right now, and i had read that the leds dont work with stock lenses.

Hey Art, where are you getting the alternator from and do you have a part number? Mine is starting to spit out some dust and making a bit of noise and I would rather have one on standby if/when it kicks.

Darn, forgot about that. You need this one.. DB Electrical - ALTERNATOR HIGH OUTPUT 200 Amp 7.3L Diesel F PICKUP TRUCK 99 00 01 ...I am not sure what the difference is, but they do have different part numbers on the website. Either way I will snap some pics.
