It's not real obvious to me if it's hi-beam or low-beam.


Any other head light recommendations would be appreciated.

Check out this thread:

Best brand for LED conversion?

I have finally decided to change my original headlights to LED. My truck is a 1983 Silverado. Anyone done this already and have a tip where to buý some that works, looks and functions great? Greatings from Sweden where night now starts getting darker.

That's right. All the bulbs are high/low capable and are just switched by your high beam wiring in the truck

I purchased some philips LED head lights. They had a dedicated low beam pattern light and a dedicated high beam pattern light.

I installed them and drove them around tonight. My thoughts are eh. better than the stock lights but just ok. I had a 2006 rav4 that I replaced just the bulbs witth LED light bulbs and that made it 95% as good as a modern car with LED lights.

1 out 10 rating.

5 --- factory incandescent stock lights
7 --- philips LED lights for the GMC
9 --- my old rav4 with swapped in LED light bulbs
10 --- modern new car with LED lights

I purchased these LED headlights from Amazon
Truck-Lite 27640C LED Headlight (4"X6" Rectangular, Polycarbonate Lens, Aluminum, Low Beam, 12-24V) https://a.co/d/5z0SRd2
To my understanding, they are made in the USA, and are brighter than most current vehicle headlights on the road. They're a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, and I am very impressed with the output of them. They sell high beam units as well as low beam units, and are pretty stylish compared to the low end LEDs on Amazon.

I will catch h*** for this but leds are not made for headlights. I can't stand the gm lights the way they blind you. Leds are extemely bright right in front but have no "throw". It takes an insane amount of leds power to get anywhere and you wind up blinding everyone. There are lots of good upgrades (even hid) that are better. Leds def have there place in other regards.....

Most modern cars have LED lights. Every modern car I have been in the lights have been superior to the old cars with incandescent lights. I don't think any manufacture makes a car with incandescent lights today.

I bought 4 pcs from RMS lighting, two on top for both hi- and low beam and two below these for just hi-beam. Works well and looks great on mine 1983 Silverado c20

It also helps quite a bit to install a headlight relay kit that provides direct battery power to the headlights. It’s a simple plug and play harness and two relays, and the headlight brightness no longer depends on the old wiring running to your headlight switch. The kit I got from LMC had a garish yellow wiring harness, so I bought black flexible tubing to cover it and match the original GM wiring.
