I’m actually going to order those lights here soon. Good to hear that they workI needed some feline supplies again so I went to Wal-Mart. Since I've been a good boy lately (and there's nobody else around to tell me different either) so I went to Harbor Freight first and treated myself to a transmission jack. It was more than I really wanted to spend, but the project list includes dropping the ZF5 out of the red treasure hunt truck, replacing the C6 in Ex Wife with that ZF5, fixing a rear main engine seal leak in the Blue Truck, and maybe, eventually, dropping the FMX out of the Red Truck and putting an AOD in it's place. With this in mind, I could justify buying it. I REALLY hate dropping a transmission with just a floor jack anymore. At Wal-Mart, I found a good T-shirt and treated myself again. On the way home, I got to test out my El Cheapo LED H4 replacement bulbs. I wasn't too impressed for the 55 or so miles back north from Wal-Mart, but in the town at the turn west, I pulled into the restaurant parking lot there. I was pretty sure that the driver's side light was too low (I clipped a deer with that corner of the truck around 4 years ago). I had to raise the light all the way up and it's still a little bit low due to the mounts and supports all being bent from the deer. I got back onto the highway and WOW! what a difference! I can only be about 85% sure since there was a full moon and cloudless sky tonight, but I think that I finally found a combination that I'll be happy with. The LMC Truck lights seem to throw a good pattern even with the LEDs and the glass lenses in them won't yellow. I still need less of a moon or some clouds to be sure, but for now, I'm happy with this. If I end up sticking with this set up, I'm going to do away with the $20 H4s and buy some better quality ones from Everything LED for about $60 plus shipping and maybe taxes.

The lights themselves are great. I'm just trying to make them better. You still need a relay kit to run them as well.I’m actually going to order those lights here soon. Good to hear that they work
The ones that I'm running are from LMC Truck. The part number is 36-0282-F. Description is "custom headlight-200mm". The price is $29.95 each. I was running the blue bulbs before this experiment and will be again if I don't like it. Right now, they're saying that the lights and bulbs are backordered. Remember that I'm also running some LED H4 replacements in them. The lights come with a rubber boot over the back of the bulbs, but the LEDs that I have in there right now are too big for that boot to fit over so I just left it off. Here's what the lights look like installed and turned off. A friend of mine calls them "Freightliner headlights". I also haven't entirely called the experiment a success yet. I only think that it will be.Any chance you might post a part number for them shiny new headlights?
Our new IDI filter removal tool.Found out @laserjock has gremlins in his garage. Left my truck at his house last Sunday and When I showed up yesterday it had the remaining 4 injectors installed, custom headlight relay, and headlights polished.
Decided to change the oil and that turned into a 4 hour project. Ended up sharpening a piece of 1/2” rebar, spearing the filter and attaching 3’ of pipe for leverage. Holy f$#&. That filter was on there.
I’ll start a build thread and add pics. Plan to run it like I stole it but we have reason to believe I have a cylinder low on compression.
