Will be putting new headlamp assemblies in.I sort of had my heart set on putting sports in. 4 headlamps HAVE to be better than two. (no I am not doing the projector bs etc. I would consider "crystal clear" etc stock replacements)I noticed there are far more choices for single bulb solutions. In the back of my mind I remember a couple people mentioning that the 2 bulbs in the housing didn't provide good reflective backs etc.I have ZERO concerns about new wiring. (either way, I will be going to control relays) The price difference (quad vs dual) is not significant enough to make the difference.Which will give me better lighting without UNINTENTIONALLY blinding others. (sometimes they do deserve it...)all suggestions greatly appreciated! Even the stfu ones!Have a Merry Christmas!!Hag

Subscribed. Ive been thinking about doing this as well, or maybe adding some fog lights, something to increase visability at night. My high beams are satisfactory, low beams are miserable.

Hello I am new to this forum and like it very much. Alot of 2nd gen topic discussions here. I have a '00 with the sport headlights, I feel they have better low beams than the regular headlights. My father has a '98 with the regular healights and I don't like them. The high beams are also brighter with the sport. I have added Hella 500 fog and driving lights with additional Hella optilux fog lights that aim in ditch. The 4 fog lights turn on together with a toggle switch and the 2 driving lights with the high beams. I work on farms and drive tractors with a dozen or so lights and I have grown use to having a well lit vehicle. I also added 4 rear facing flood lights. I wouldn't have to hook up another trailer in the dark. I added the lights and bumper after I fixed the truck after hitting a deer. I like the sport or quad lamps and have no complaints about them.

Hey ABennin welcome to the site. Thats a serious bumper is it a pushbumper off a wrecker? Thats what it reminds me of anyhow its pretty sweet!

I just ordered a set of sport lights for mine. Got them from headlight depot through amazon, also got some Phillips and ge bulbs to go in them. Daniel stern lighting said they were the best choice for sport housings. GE nighthawk 9004nh and Philips 9007 extreme power bulbs.

Hey ABennin welcome to the site. Thats a serious bumper is it a pushbumper off a wrecker? Thats what it reminds me of anyhow its pretty sweet!

Thank you for welcome. Yes it came off a '86 Ford F350 wrecker, it was made by Holmes. I found it on craigslist and it required some modifications to fit on the truck. Spent $200 total on it, sure beats spending over 1k on some of those new ones.

I think I will try the sports then.I emailed Daniel Stern... are they still in business? I am not going to beg a vendor to sell me a product.... I never got a response from them, so I ordered parts from else where...What are the best bulbs to use? Mainly for the high beam. I don't want my low beams to blind people. Hag

I email Daniel stern over a week ago and never got a reply but I did get my info from an email someone posted on cf that asked the same questions you and I had. He recommends those bulbs in my above post, they should be in the next day or two so I will let y'all know how they work out.

Got my new lights in and the low beams are brighter than my old ones but I need to get a wiring harness because only the two inside bulbs light up with the highs on. Where is the best place to get a harness? Daniel Stern sells all the pieces but you have to provide wire and wire it all up yourself, would kinda like more of a plug and play.

I am not sure if this what you are looking for, but it might be worth a call to see if it will work with the conversion to quad lamps. I was looking at the harness at the top of the page. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/de/full.aspx?Page=61

I have heard folks using them say the wires are small gauge and larger gauge should have been used. LMC is alot cheaper than other companies but that may be the reason. I wonder if I would need 2 or just 1 of these harnesses?

I found painless performance has a kit #30816. I think this should work, but I would contact them to make sure. They want north of $200 each. Two would be required for the quad lamps. So far summit racing has the cheapest Painless kit I can find at $174. The Daniel Stern, if you can get it doesn't look so bad cost wise if you don't mind wiring it. I didn't find anything bad about the painless kit. Just it seems expensive to me. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/prf-30816 http://www.painlesswiring.com/webcatalog/largeview.php?SearchField=30816

Someone on one of the other forums just ordered made up harnesses from Daniel Stern for a 2nd Gen. I believe they were around $265.00. Seems Daniel Stern is not very quick on answering requests.

Good Lord, $70 for the kit or $265 for him to wire it up for you?

I made a bit of a mistake. I found the thread on TDR. The price of the made up Daniel Stern harness is $165.11.

Sorry i haven't quite caught on here. Is this harness you talk about to run the lights with relays or what?

Yes, the lights run through relays.

I called mr stern the other day and left a message saying I was ready to buy but still have not got a return call or email.

Hey Ryan, have you figured anything out on a harness? I picked up a used set off an 02 today, theyre not as good as new, but the lenses are still overall in good condition. They look alot yellower in the picture for some reason. For 45 bucks, I figured I wouldnt be out much if I decide one day to go to HIDs instead. Now I just need to get a harness together and Ill be good to go.

Not yet, Daniel Stern has not returned my call or email yet. There is a member here that made his own harness a few years ago and he has all the part numbers and all but im scarred to dive in. Do you need bulbs for your new lights? I have the 4 that came with mine but I ordered some that Mr. Stern recommended so I dont need these.

Just finished doing my conversion (need to put the housings back in). Went with the TYC lights from Headlight Depot and LMC harnesses. Normally I would go with the best, the Mopar OEM lights and better harnesses, but had a hard time swallowing $500+ . I would say the quality is fair for what it cost. Hopefully I don't regret it. They are definitely mucho brighter, but not totally sure of the filament logic with the LMC harnesses and if they are working right because there is no useful info. provided with them.:banghead: One major flaw with them is they do not come with fuse holders in the hot leads - very dangerous. I added my own when installing the wiring. A real good read on this subject here: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?220386-Sport-Headlight-Conversion-(lots-of-photos)
