Clear Lenses for 1st Gen?

[sledgehammer1990]

I want to get some new headlight lenses, I think they are called lenses, anyway, mine seem to be a little foggy and old. I am looking for some new clear ones to go with HID lights. The only ones I could find are these but they are expensive...

Edit: Do you think new lenses are needed for HIDS?

Here are some cheaper ones I found on eBay. I have the same set on my EX and they work great. LINK

Those are great. My only remaining issue is which HID kit to get. Any Ideas?

 

[jumpn4jesus]

I'm getting those and also some "HID" bulbs off of ebay. They're like $10 a bulb I believe. However, I'm also gonna buy some of this and put it on my lenses! To give it that more blue tint! Now don't go stealing my ideas!!! If you do, this post is proof that I was going to do it first!!!

Yeah, yeah. I am actually going to get a real H.I.D. kit for around $250. Plus these new headlights for $130. Can't wait for Xmas. Gonna be a little cold when I put them in.

I found some headlights, but can I take out the old ones and replace them with the new ones?

Looks like you'd have to fab something.

Glacier had a good thread about new lights - http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183532

Thanks for that guide. That will really help. I have decided on getting these headlights along with my HIDs.

I have also decided on some LED SMT turn signals. Still thinking if I want to go with blue to go with the rest of my truck or orange.

What does it mean that they are designed for Toyotas? Does it mean they will work only on a ground switched system or what?
For $50+ I think you would want to be sure they will work on an X.

 

[sledgehammer1990]

Didn't see the Toyota thing. I am going to check my truck socket tomorrow.

Edit: I can just get the other one. Not the Swack.

What are you going to check for?
Email the guy and ask if it will work on a Ford .

I am sure it will work. There are others on this forum with the same one. If you check the site, there are 2 types. One is the Swack that worked with Toyoda and the other works with all other vehicles.

I have these exact headlights on my EX with a 6000k Hid kit. It is a flawless combination. And before you go paying $250 for an Hid kit, check out Mod-Express.com. I've bought over 5 kits from them and they have all worked great. Let me know if you're interested and I can give you a discount code to knock a kit down to $140.

I have them as well with an 8000k HID kit. I have some pics floating around here somewhere.

ive had good luck with ebay hid kits and they cost $69 shipped.. have installed them in 4 vehicles so far and no problems..

 

[buckshotmudder]

btw i had diamond cut headlights in my 92 with a 6k hid kit.. it was awesome.. def recommend that setup
