They're stock glass lens sealed beam lows from a 73-87. I need to make some brackets for them and I was planning on converting them to HIDs or LEDs.

info on lights

73-79 used round headlights only. 80 was an oddball year all in it's own but used 5x7 lights. 81-89 used either 2- 5x7 lights of 4- 4x6 lights. 90-91 used the smaller quad beams that GMT400 88-89 trucks used.

I would be willing to guess those are 4x6 headlights since there is still gap around the sides. I'm using a set of the smaller 88-89 adjusters in my 88 and the proportions work well with the bumper openings and match my quad headlights.

You're right. I was just thinking OOBS years since that's what I pulled them off of. I'm pretty sure it was a quad headlight 81-89.
