Im thinking about buying those projectors on ebay, the ones that are basiaclly the whole headlight housing, they dont come with directions, are they plug and play pretty much or does this require any wire splicing and all of that..
Heh, never got that far...On this kit on ebay, I didn't see the long adjuster lever to adjust the headlight, so how do you adjust these?
Heh, never got that far...
I'm looking into this: http://www.migicar.com/hdfexplo95bk.html But @ $350 seems a little high priced to me.
Has anyone used this in a 99x? I'm also looking into headers and install cold air lungs for under the hood for some breathing room. I read a lot of post in the header thread for 99x 5.0 and it looks like it is WAY more than I would care to tackle in the drive way.
Any thoughts or comments? btw, remember "side pipes" that was big in the 70s? Seen mostly on custom vans. They were not "open" but had a very nice deep (not offensively loud) sound. just very low and "breathy" if that's a word. They would mount where running boards are installed. My X has no running boards so I figure that would work in place of them. A friend back in college had a set of his Ford van with headers &302 in it. Sounded Sweet!
Thanks All

$350 seems steep for those lights. I've seen them for less. I still think the retrofit is a MUCH better option.
re: Headers etc, you really should start a post about those elsewhere to prevent this thread from being hijacked (i.e. going off on tangents). Torque Monster Headers are your only option for the 5.0. Search around and post on the many threads on the topic already started.
I really like the look of those lights above. I also like the fact they are Plug n Play. I did read about the retro fit and not sure I have the design talent needed.
Rick.
I have zero design talent and was able to do the retro option. Have faith.
lolol I don't have any design talent either and was also able to do the retrofit...as long as you get the MH1's it's pretty easy
I am not so much worried about my design talent, as I am my patience with opening up the headlights and not destroying them in the process.
I hear ya, opening the headlights was my biggest concern when I started mine. I used a heat gun and I held it in the same spot for too long in a few places and I got a little bit of melting but it wasn't too bad. You also have to be really careful when prying the lens off because it's pretty easy to crack the housing in the area where you're prying, which happened on both of mine (I should have taken some pics of this) but the window butyl used to seal the lens to the housing holds the pieces that broke together pretty well on mine.
You just have to be careful and go slow, as painful as that can be (I know it was for me lol)
