Nah, like Brett said one was busted and I'm not necessarily overly fond of the replacement. I mean, it looks okay, but on a white Disco the D2 lights make it a look like a raccoon. Especially with me running that ARB and a blackout kit.

They were asking $35 for the other headlight. I'm going to wait on some headlights to find me, dirt cheap

I have a perfect set of D1 lights but I think the D2s would look good on my truck since its a dark color.

I agree, dark D1s look much better with the D2 lights. I've heard the D2 lights have a better light beam, but I don't see how they could be that much better. More focused I guess?

Ill find some one of these days but they aren't real high on the priority list. Being in TN are you going to be at URE?

Are D2 lights a straight up swap?

The 99-02 lights are a straight swap to 94-99.

Have you fitted the wheels on with those spacers yet? I have the same ones and the RRC solid nuts would bottom out on the studs before the wheels were tight. I had to zip about 1/4" off each stud on the adaptor.
No problems here with stock alloys and uncapped lug nuts.

Ahh ok. I like the 04 lights, but am not willing to shell out the money for all of the parts needed!

White roof. The truck gets hot enough on it's own, it doesn't need solar heat. :-)

Yeah, but a white roof on a brushed aluminum body will look gay.


And maybe its just the solid RRC nuts that were the problem.
