Ok time to make a decision on how many head lights to put on the truck. Please keep in mind that this thing must be streat legal. All the law says is there must be one per side. between the mesured higth from the ground of 22 inch and 54 inch. They must be adjustable, SO I was thinking how many should I put on per side? 1, 2, or 3. Please vote and make leave your comments. This pole rund for 5 days only. OH and one more thing. If I go with 2 or more sets of lights they will all be multi beem. so 2 low beem and 2 high beem.

I say go with two sets of round headlights. They throw a much better beam than the square ones. 7 inch on the outer's and 5 inch on the inners. Maybe even two sets of 7inch.

You need to keep in mind that this is a first gen. It only came with 1 light per side. I curently have 20 inches from the top of the frame to the 1 light that is mounted in the stock area of where the grill would have gone. There is no raidator up front any more. It goes in the back. I will have a small power sterring cooler in the front. It should be nearly all skid plate when finished. I think the only stacked headlights that came out in perduction cars was an early Chevy and they were round.

I like the 7" and 5 3/4" round lites too - think of the 70's rabbit gtis - hell you could probably use the grille from one and be a good fit.
