  • In this video I upgrade the headlights in my 1989 Chevrolet K1500 with a kit from LMC truck. The kit replaces the sealed beam headlights for ones that allow the bulbs to be replaced.
    Link to the set I used.

    Look Into The "4High Headlight Mod". A few wires, a relay. Basically, when you switch your High Beams on the relay will trigger the Low beams to come back on. I own my late grandfathers 1988 K1500 5.7L Silverado. I did this for added light output driving at night. It is Not "night & day" difference, But the added light output is nice.

      Thanks! I will check it out. Compared to the new stuff, these old setups seem lacking sometimes.

    just some information, that bottom part of the grille is called a bumper filler. and also those push pins that keep it attached they make a specific tool just for those style of fastener called panel/trim clip remover

    1988 was the first year for that body design but they only came in regular & new extended cab pickup models at the time because the crew cab pickups & SUVs with the previous body design were still in production up through 1991.
