Aftermarket headlights for 87-91 model trucks?!?!

[Thefarmboy21]

Is there anyone that carries a nice looking set if headlights for the 87-91 pickups? All other models have tons of variations....halo, projection, grey, black, etc... All I can find for these are basically just replacement normal looking headlights. Anyone have anything really sweet?

I've been on the hunt for the parts to convert but have been unsuccessful.

That just looks like a plastic cover over the old style sealed bulbs?!?? Hmm...now that has me thinking. With fiberglass and aftermarket bulbs the possibilities are endless lol.

I like the look of the Australian headlights. How can you find a set of those? I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything. Ebay?

There isn't even a plastic cover over the sealed-beam bulbs...there's just a plastic bezel.

I spent a couple of months actively searching for them about two years ago. Apparently, the headlight setup was an Aussie-only thing and, nowadays, the setup's difficult to find even in Australia. I contacted a wrecking yard in Oz and the guy told me that they're next to impossible to find anymore and command something like $500 per side when they can be found. Add shipping and everything else and it's really not practical. A shame because I like the setup also, and this allows you to run E-code lights

AFAIK there is no "aftermarket" style light replacement for the '87-'91 trucks...the only assemblies you can buy are OEM, and even those only became available recently. This was a part of why I'm planning to put an OBS front clip on my truck (the other main reason being that there's more space for the intercooler).

I have a couple of pics of the Aussie setup, but I get an error message every time I try to upload them

The "aussie" style lights were also used in South America, but that still doesn't make them any easier to find.

I looked online for some Aussie wrecking yards, but didn't try calling. Ouch $500 a side is a bit much for me. I guess I will be looking at LMC for replacements.

Wow thats way cooler than the factory brick nose headlights! The other counties always get the cooler trucks. And i'd personally stay away from lmc,, everything I've gotten from them has been low quality chinese garbage.

If anyone can get one side of those lights I can mold emm out of fiber glass probley take 20 hours a side but I do like the style

I got new lights a couple years ago from carparts.com for like $60 per side and that was with the chrome strip (mine had it) and the ones without were less, they look as good as factory and still are pretty clear. Those and a set of blue ice bulbs with 100 watt high beams and they work quite well. I've had several people inquire as to why they are so bright.

on edit: just to be clear, these are NOT aussie style, but the standard brick nose, which I actually like.
