Default 2nd gen to 1st gen headlight conversion.

Ok, before i get a bunch of hate hear me out. I've seen a picture of this and it looked really good. But now that I'm ready to do it I can't find the pic or anything about it. So if you have any input, or a picture of it, or a link to a how to or something, it would be much appreciated.

No, not a full front clip, just the headlights themselves

No, most people aren't dumb enough to waste their time with outdated technology.

Now let's clarify. Are you talking about putting 83-87 sealed beam headlights into an 88-92? Or are you talking about putting 93-97, 98-00, or 01-11 headlights into an 88-92 truck?
