    Hello, I'm trying to decide if I want to put the old school style dual round headlights on my 96 Pete 378 I just bought. I haven't been able to find any pictures of one with em on line, was wondering if anybody on here had seen any.

    I was looking for a picture of the headlights on a truck, Specifically a Pete 378 model. I know they look pretty darned close to the 379's but the cabs sit a skotche taller and the hood slopes ever so slightley. Just wanted to see a set on a truck the same model as mine before I pulled the trigger and ordered em.

    What year did they change to the rectangler shape headlights?
    My 379 has the large aftermarket round headlights.

    Depending on how much night driving you do you might want to reconsider, my buddy had some and the joke was, if someone was coming at him with their brights on I would tell him to turn his dome light on to blind the oncoming traffic. They finally put the original dual squares back on and he is alot happier at night now.

    I would say there was a problem somewhere,such as a poor ground. I've had the single rounds(aftermarket United Pacific) on 3 trucks and with the Hella housings and PIIA bulbs,the big singles worked better. If you get the 4 headlight round aftermarket how can they at the worst not be just as good as what you took off. Plus they look way better.
