How hard are these to install? just a simple swap, and then upgrade to a good HID and golden right?

They were fairly easy. It was nerve racking taking off half of the front end off. Once you get the grill and upper valance off it takes a matter of seconds to get the lights off

Do these aftermarket OE style projectors head vertical beam adjustment? I heard ANZOs only have horizontal adjustment.

Anzo's have two adjustment screws, top screw adjust horizontal, back screw adjusts vertical. Get headlights adjusted properly before putting everything back together. :driving:

I'm curious if these use the same size bulb as the stockers. Like if I'm not gonna do HID.. will I see a light output reduction from my stock open beam headlights?

 

I've owned a lot of projector beam headlight vehicles and they generally leave much to be desired in dark rural areas like where I live.

 

I really want the look though.. I just need to know if I should plan for an HID/LED retrofit if I go this path.

 

The stock open beam headlights are enough light for me with the brights on.

Any idea what the lumens are for those? Brighter/dimmer than stock?

 

This is really my only hangup for the swap. If I need to do an LED/HID swap with the headlights I can but I need to budget for that.

I have these now with better projectors retrofitted in.

What projector did you replace it with? Are these lights identical to OEM? Like are the internals the same (brackets and mounts)? I ask because FASTHeadlights has a written tutorial and a bracket for retrofitting the OEM projectors without cutting.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
