1993 ex headlight problem? is there another resort

[mudslogger]

My head light assemlys are bad they both have holes in them melted, i was wondering if there is and other head light assembly i can get that fits this year with a little shaving?

I think you are stuck with finding another set off either a '91-'94 Explorer or an '89-'92 Ranger/Bronco II.

Actually, I _hear_ that 1988 and older Bronco II's used a "sealed beam" type headlight assembly...meaning that it won't collect water like the 89-94 headlights have a tendency to do.

As far as fitting up 83-88 B2 headlights, I don't know.

If you want a compatible, true Explorer sealed beam front end, get one from Europe$$$$$$

It's not his, it's from the Explorer promo material in Europe. The European Explorers came with side marker turn signals.

Because Ford is the minority in Europe, and hence has to make its cars look better where it is not dominant in the market. Honda/Toyota, etc. do the same thing here in America. We only get their nicer vehicles, and in Japan, they get crap

As for the side turn-signals, I just found this out today, but in Europe ever car HAS to have side turn signals to pass inspection. Look at all the Bimmers and Benzes even in America with them. Seems like a good idea to me. It really helps when changing lanes when I am beside a car and not sure if they are switching lanes also.
