Yep, for brighter headlights you'll need a new headlight harness. Found here... http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-18095-extreme-headlight-harness-for-early-bronco.html

You can build this yourself, but electrical/wiring issues are one thing I have never understood so I just bought the pre made harness. Makes a huge difference!

As far as seats, most of the vendors sell seats that work very well. Also a lot of smaller to mid size car seats can be configured to fit in with little work. The main thing you have to look out for is the height of the seat. If it's too high you'll be sitting with your head in the roof.

if your a tall guy, the lower the seats are the better. I have problems seeing stoplights with the stock setup, so any higher than that can be an issue.

Bax taught me long ago to watch the traffic light in the reflection of the hood instead of craning your neck.....works the balls. I'm 6'5" and have used it for a while now, he IS good for something!

LOL, never thought of that.. Nice

You will want to get the relay kit for your H-4 lights. The lights will blink on and off if you don't. They are cheap and easy to install. I paid $29. I put in seats out of a BII (Ford not Bomber) and they worked out nice. I had to modify the mounts a little but now they are very low to the floor like you need them.

I tried the look in the hood trick but my hood's always to dirty.LOL

 

[MattW]

My hood, like the rest of my Bronco, lost its clear coat years ago. Maybe I can put a mirror on the inside of the dash that looks up?

I will second getting the front relay harness for the lights. the lights on my 72 are now brighter than my 07 F150 . and that is with sealed beam lights.
It is so dam*ed amazing to be able to see where I'm going now.

I put these on, way way brighter then my stock ones, i love em.
but also found rewireing your bronco will also help too.

Nice Bronco.

X2 on the headlight harness - makes a huge difference.

No offense intended here, and I'm sorry if this has been covered in another thread, but you are obviously a die-hard chevy guy (usename, avatar and sig) - why didn't you get a Blazer? Seriously and I'm not trying to put you down - 68-72 Blazers are good looking trucks. Why buy an EB with the intent of putting a chevy engine in it? Just curious.

the reason why i put it on there is because it was a cost effective motor at the time and the reason why i got this truck is me and my dad built it and i fell in love with it ;D

There was a Bronco on here that had some metal tool boxes mounted to the top of the inner fender wells. While creative I'd imagine it would be fairly noisy driving down the road with your tools bouncing around in there.
