One of my gripes on these trucks is the awful lighting available without going through a major expense. I think I solved the driving light issue in the meantime. About a year ago, I installed CREE LED headlamps (4652 and 4656) into a diesel olds. They lit up the dark side of the moon and then some. Recently, I found the same light 4x6 in a driving light format. That got me excited. Well, the Sulaco isn't as blind anymore as a result. Here are the pics with a small comparison with stock, low power and high-power setting. The wiring is pretty straightforward. with the headlight. looking at the plug where it plugs into the wiring harness, use caution. looking at a connector as it plugs into the rear of the leadlight, the black ground wire is to the right side of the plug, the high output is the green wire on the opposing left and the low power is the red wire in the middle.

Will you be doing a full tech article on this?;Sweet How about a step by step?;Sweet;Sweet Do they require a new and special bumper?


I like the better light. With the stock light the term "Drive within your lighting capability" is a joke.

I live on a dark street, and my lights light it up really well.
sometimes I forget to turn it off and I don't notice in the AM (light is only lit with the ignition on)

I don't think LEO likes em much, 9/10 times when a cop does a double take, I have the bar on.
but lights up the world great.
gonna be great when on those mountain trips.
