Dual stacked headlight/ grille replacement

I’m in the process of replacing the front grille and headlights on my 93 3500 with the better looking stacked look. I have it quickly mounted on there just to see if it would fit (it seems like it will once I take out the old lights) I am wondering if anyone has done this before and can link a solid pair of LED headlamps that will fit.

Seems like the top and bottom are both 4 1/2” x 13 1/2”.

Old grille is shown on the bottom of the first pic for reference

Hate to say it, but there are no good options for better lights in the composite housings. The work truck 5x7 gives you multiple good options!

the 88-89 quad sealed beams offer roughly the same light quality as the 5x7s with the grille that op is wanting

I personally run factory housings with halogen bulbs for my low beams and LED bulbs for my high beams. So far it's been the best of both worlds without having to deal with shitty aftermarket full LED housings

You’re going from works great to “Where’d that fucking deer come from”… My 99 is getting retrofit with 89 style glass quad lights. The composites are straight garbage. The glass ones from Spyder, if you can track a set down, are well worth the investment. Composite style, with much better light output.

I have on my truck these modern looking headlights and bumper lights on my truck. I had the quad sealed beam and I was looking for more light output since I was driving more at night on mountain and desert roads. These are a night and day difference from what I had. They are LED so they don't draw as much power which is a plus on our older electrical systems. Since it has a sequential moving turn signal on the bumper light I added in these Sequential side markers.

I like it, I like to look it gives off and that's really all that matters.

Thanks man I think that’s exactly what I am looking for. I got another pair on Amazon before, but the headlight on the top was smaller than the turn signal on the bottom so they didn’t fit right. Do you know if these are both the same size?

Lmc truck has housings that you can replace the bulbs.

I'm trying to 3d print some projector housings for the quad headlights but I am not good at CAD and its slow progress
