New headlights for '89

[SuburbanCowboy]

I want to swap out what I'm guessing are the original front headlights and I'm looking at a pair of Lumen 7x6 rectangular chrome LED headlights. Does anyone have any experience with this particular brand?

I don't think you would be too happy with those, they maybe bright, but will not project the light. If you really want good LED headlights for that truck, look at JW Speaker, or Trucklite. They are not cheap, but I don't think you would be disappointed.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Cowboy, what did you go with?
I'd like to do something with my 89, but I'm not sure I can do $600+ for lights.

I can relate to the high cost of the LED models, but if you want something better then stock, and not break the bank, take a look at Hella. You would want the Hella E-code model with a good quality H4 bulb. Years back prior to LED I had ran these in my truck and Ramcharger. They were much better then the stock lights, but the "E-code" models make a big difference with a clean upper cut off line. If you "surf" the net you can find them w/o any problem. Hope that helps you out.

I put in cheap amazon LEDs. Not great, but they reach a bit further with less amp draw overall. Main thing was not to strain the stock wiring and switch. Daytime running lights go away. They give low-beams all the time.

They came with relays and pigtails which I'm saving to use with my H4 conversion lamps on another project.
