    Downgrade 95' to 88/89' headlight K1500

    I am all german or ***** (not sure if this means the same) but felt strong ties with anything american ever since I was little, not sure why. I've been to the states quite a lot of times, mostly for my job.

    That's cool, guess your dad was serving in a military base in Mannheim? What made you go (back...?) to the US?

    Hi Dave... just found these on Amzn: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DNFB1M/ref=pd_luc_rh_sbs_02_04_t_img_lh?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Do you think they would do the job? They're supposed to replace H4701/H4703. Thanx.

    95' 350 idle rpm's
