New Headlights

After being tired of not being able to see at night I finally upgraded my headlights to OEM 02s with silverstars. Thanks to Kris (strokin_it7.3) for the lights and bulbs and Robin (PaysonPSD) for the instructions. They look great and can't wait to see how they look tonight. Thankfully it looks like the money flow has stabilized and things are looking up so it looks like I'll get to keep the truck and keep the family well .

The swap was very simple, and they look great with the ambers in my opinion



While I had the camera, my stickers and International lettering.

Justin,

Looks great. Did you leave the old adjusters in the panel and just screw in the new lights? That would be the easy way.

Edit: When you turn them on tonight you'll probaly not like their aim. You'll need this : http://www.coolbulbs.com/HID-VISUAL-HEADLIGHT-AIMING-PROCEDURE.pdf

I'm certainly glad circumstances have changed and you are keeping your rig.

Ahh Justin, im so happy for you that you get to keep the truck, and nice headlights I was kinda worried about you selling the truck but im glad youre keeping it. And i love how you did the IH badge on the door, just like the IH trucks do! Thats tempting me to want to put mine there too! Nice.

Thanks guys, I didn't tune then in tonight ( was busy watching the Pats get there perfect season stomped by a Manning. WHOOO!) but I checked them out WOW what a major difference. Now next weeks project will be cleaning and tightening boots and wiring in my Aux back up lights.

Robin I just backed them right out it took maybe 20 minutes, the drivers side clip was perviously broke so it took longer backing out the top adjuster.

Kris thanks again for the lights, if I could rep you more I would heh. I like the IH lettering below the door better to look like the Rigs, everyone seems to do it by the PSD badge just not for me. You are bravier then me at trying to remount those letters, I got a set I raided off a wreck and I haven't got the nerve to add them elsewhere. I want to get the front emblem as well, IH and horses would look good together .

Looks good JD, I like the clear over the ambers myself. Love the INT. under the windows.


Glad things have turned your way, and you get to keep your truck.

Pretty good looking truck, but I like the old style amber corners. Just never cared for the 02-04 clear corners. Like my truck old school in a way.
