    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    I'm guessing I got the newer diamond cut ones since i got them in September. The hole where the triangle tab would go is too small, if I try to make it a little bigger it'll break. I'm gonna hit up karl to see if he has any adjusters to try out.

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    You hit the nail on the head celly. That's exactly my problem. The triangle tabs are what broke off the aftermarket, and the original ones from the ford wouldn't fit. The ones that karl sold you, did they fit perfectly?

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    Never had the problem with the high beam sticking. It's the housing that's driving me nuts with the cheap adjusters and trying to get the cutoff perfect. One would be a little higher than the other.

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    Can you provide me a link. We tried with the original adjusters that came with the car, and they were too big to fit. Can't trust myself or my friend drilling a hole. That's how good we are.

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    It's a hassle. i should have just bought those ebay projector. The money spent on the morimoto mh1 with the morimoto ballast, bulbs and headlights make it almost not worth it. Atleast the morimoto ballasts and bulbs are great. Never had HID's and didn't want to blind anyone so i chose this...

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    It looks like straight ass now. It's the horizontal adjuster. Broke them on both headlights. The clips on the aftermarket are so cheap it's not even funny. They're being held by zip ties. I don't even want to talk about it. I had a cousin from out of state that did them for me but the cut...

    98 explorer aftermarket headlight adjustment clips?

    HI, I had done a projector retrofit on my explorer a few weeks back and decided to adjust the headlights. On doing so i damaged one of the adjusters (snapped out from the headlights and broke). I tried using the original ones from the car but were to big to fit. The aftermarket lights were...

    1998 ford explorer 5.0 rear catalytic converter question

    Where i live all these basterds are crooks. I don't know jack squat about cars except for replacing tires and putting gas. I have a mac exhaust and intake, i'm about to say the hell with this, get a x3 tuner, disable the rear 02's and get better performance. Car still drives the same. I get...

    1998 ford explorer 5.0 rear catalytic converter question

    Bought a scanner off craigslist and cleared it today. Do you think it's the fuel? I always put Bp or Exxon, but for the last couple of months i've been using Delta, as its cheaper.

    1998 ford explorer 5.0 rear catalytic converter question

    Sorry about that. Mechanic told me cat is done for, said the o2's are fine. He recommended factory instead of aftermarket, said it lasts longer. Is it true? Don't want to cough up $800. I live in Jersey and did inspection april of last year and i didn't see them looking under the car.

    I checked again and the code that came up was p0430-Cat Efficiency Below Thresholds Bank 2. Car has 138,x.. miles on original cats. I change all 02 sensors when the car had 115,000 miles. Went to a spot to see what they would tell me, and without looking at the cat, said it was a bad...

    1998 ford explorer 5.0 rear catalytic converter question

    guess i'll try that. What about those 02 simulators that connect to the sensor and the bung? Do Those work incase the cel doesn't go away? Saw one over at amazon for real cheap. Another question i have, is there a foul smell after the cats are removed?
