I'm trying to do a stock headlight replacement on my 87R10. Does anybody happen to have part numbers? I'm coming up with Slyvania low beams H4656 and high beams H4651. But they don't fit quite right. There are four glass tabs on the back side corners and one of them buggers does not sit right in the headlight bucket. Any insight is appreciated.

Also, just slapped on a Ridetech 4link coilover setup. Turned out better than I thought. Needs to come up a bit in the front tho.

Those are the same numbers I had - always had an issue with the chrome frames not fitting either. Always felt like I was stretching them.

I switched to Hellas.

Nice looking stance on that truck! I’ve been eyeing that RideTech kit for a while now! Still gotta save my pennies

Thanks all. Doppleganger, I looked at the Hellas and they have smaller metal tabs on the rear. Those look like a much better fit. Thanks!
