Assuming your adjusters aren't rusted solid like mine, and your wiring isn't jacked up line mine, install should take about 5 minutes!

That is why if you drive in snow a great deal that they may not be the best choice, because there may not be enough heat to prevent snow build up on the lenses.

I mimicked rallypanam and went to the Pick Your Part. I have the HB5 lamps in the plastic housings, so I had none of the mechanical parts for the sealed beam H4 Ttuck-Lite LED's. I found lots of parts destroyed by prying parts apart, breaking every useful part on 3 different vans. Finally I came across a van (2001?) that had what I needed. All the screws in place, no rust and the adjusters in working order. I brought everything home, cleaned it up and painted the trim pieces. Lubed and Applied anti seize to the adjusters, and now I am waiting for a female H4 to make HB5 harness adapter so all will be reversible, to make it all work. Thanks rallypanam for your help.

If I understand correctly these Truck-Lite LED H/L's are plug n play assuming existing wiring is in good order?

And, as I Later discovered, assuming you already have a sealed beam and NOT bulb/lens/housing headlights. If you don't have sealed beams there is some work to do. Mostly that means locating parts.
