Spyder glass vs spyder auto?

I didn’t even know some were metal. Obviously, mine above are plastic.

The oem def were heavy as light metal… or a heavy plastic. Alot well better built than aftermarket!

Doesnt say on here.. and its been almost 10 yrs since i took originals off. But i sure thought they were a light metal / not cheap plastic either

Did your truck originally come with the quad sealed beams? If so I'm pretty sure they used different mounting brackets than the composite light trucks. My post earlier about reusing the factory brackets was assuming you had composite lights from the factory.

The quad seals stopped in 91 I thought? I have a 93.

Is there a rpo code for either one of them. Then i could look on my build sheet

So far as I know, quad sealed beams were only on '88-'89 trucks, with the deluxe trim packages. In other words, not W/T models.
The composite units came out in '90.
The 4701/4703 sealed beam headlight bulb units were also used on the square body carryover trucks and SUVs, '88-'91(I'm not sure if the brackets or buckets are the same, not had them apart!). These bulb units are also used on some of the GM vans from that same era, but the buckets and brackets ARE different.

Yea mine has always
Had the the 9005 / 9006 plug. It wasnt changed from
The 4701 plug. I kinda thought mine were the oem composite. Trucks been in family since day one. Uncle had all records of anytime something was done and headlights werent on it.. so i woulda been teh first to mess with it about 10-12 yrs ago when pawpaw asked me to put brighter bulbs in it lol

You can retrofit the quad sealed beams to the '90- up trucks, you just need a set of the lights and the correct plugs for the wiring harness. Several members have done the conversion. @jjester6000 is one, his Burb is a '98 but he's backdated it to the early grille and quad beams.
I have a set of these lights, that I got from a truck in the wrecking yard, because I was considering doing this conversion on one of my trucks.
