Headlight Conversion ?????
In my 02 SD it has the crappy looking headlights like they used to put in the 80s model trucks. What all would I have to do electrically to put the newer ones in in like shown next?

Why does your '02 have the older style lights? I thought on '01 and later they put that clear lens headlight on all the trucks?? I have a '99 with the not-clear lens headlight, and just bought a set pretty much exactly like yours off ebay and just installed them.
Changing them was rather easy. It helped alot to remove the batteries, gives you easier access to the back side of the headlights. There will be two clips at the top on the left and right side of the lite, you just have to pull up on them, kinda hard, and they'll pop out. The hard one is the black plug at the bottom corner, need to sqeeze in on the sides why you try and push it through the hole, and there's no real good way to get pliers to it. The corner light is easy, two screws underneath it and then pop it out. It's real easy to put them back in.
I'm really happy with mine, made the truck look a lot sharper.
