Both grills I have done it too were OEM, same with my buddies '98, the grill did work without cutting just fit funny, it hit the plastic bracket fir the headlights, drivers side only if I remember.

Funny how things change. Seems like just yesterday people would laugh at you for wanting the quads, and people with them factory would be asking how to update to composites. :)

Hmm that is funny. I dont think I really have them a good look before to notice they were different. Once I did though I likes them a whole lot more L0L! They just look better IMO.

:joke: I don't blame you man. The holy grail of sealed beams.
Buuuuut they aren't sealed beams. They are H4....

No joke. I have always loved the quad lights on my 88. Mostly because they are so uncommon.

That just doesn't sound like it would be possible. I'm going to have to try it this weekend, and hopefully not be eating humble pie after!

Well with the LMC lights or with Bosch lights (if you lucky enough to find them) you can run HIDs. I decided against using my other set of bosch lights and 88-89 adjusters in my 98 Dually because the composites look better with the rest of my lighting upgrades on the truck. But, at the same time, the composite headlights still have a pretty marginal HID light output compared to the bosch lights sooooo I might swap them around.

Awesome, I picked up the lights this morning from the boneyard since today started 50% off all parts weekend. They were just sitting there in the lot waiting for me L0L!

I can't wait to get then home and cleaned up and order the lmc replacements.

Any pics or write up would be greatly appreciated. Especially pics L0L!

Edit* I just saw the pics in your build thread. Hot Damn they look awesome!!!!! More pics please L0L!
