Need Help Installing Clear Headlights...

[TM21fourT3]

So I bought these off eBay:

....I (tried) to install them today and they came direction-less so I tried to wing it...bad idea. I have no idea what order to do things and how to do them and I broke that stupid black plastic trim thing in 2 spots wrestling with it. I think I need to buy a new fancy trim piece thing now and I still have no idea what I''m doing.

I did searching on here and google and found nothing....can anyone help me out please?

if i remember correctly from taking my headlight assemblies out..

take the trim piece off of the top of the grille that is bolted to the core support
remove the grille, be careful with the bottom clips, they tend to bend or break
with the trim and grille out of the way you should be able to unbolt the headlight assemblies from the header panel

yea the grill was removed....and i took out every screw/bolt that i could get to that was connected to the headlights. it just seemed impossible to get anything out without breaking the black piece...which is exactly what i did.

i'm looking at chrome ones on ebay right now though....to go with my blk/chrome billet grill....

 

[Four0Sport]

you take the trim piece out with the headlight assembly, and once you have the whole thing off of the vehicle you remove the trim.

ha.. i just looked at the link in your signature. another electric current red 2dr with maroon interior. looks exactly like my truck did when it was stock. im still rockin the maroon interior though!

yea i saw your pics too...nice truck. i got new seats in mine though, some grey leathers.

and i'm currently working on a sound system....but this grill / headlight stuff i wanna get done too.

i was really hoping for a tutorial type thing....guess no ones made one (that i could find).

i added the clear corners/turn signals to mine b4 i had a digital camera and b4 i had joined the site.. it was the first or second thing i did to the truck.

can you please send me the link from eBay? thanks

 

[Bill Kemp]

Any link would be expired by now, wouldnt it? Ebay has a great search engine.

...Just type in "1991 ford explorer headlight" in Ebay's search and it will give you several listings for what you seek...

...And here is a link for "How To" on the 91-94 installation of the headlights and corners...

nevermind guys. I found the corners and turn signals. but not the head lights, would the stock headlights be fine? OR would brand new headlights be as clear as the rest?

Stock headlights would look like ass with clear corners and blinkers.

You need the whole 6 piece diamond cut set. like 100$ shipped off eBay i have them on my 92

um, i dont think my explorer looks like ass. lol

 

[Four0Sport]

then again my 'clear' corners arent 'euro'..

 

[91Ranger]

I can'tfind the whole 6 piece set... all I found are the clear corner lights and turn signals

then again my 'clear' corners arent 'euro'..

Yea yours looks great, I meant the diamond cut with a stock headlight housing lol.


Heres a link for the 6 piece set:
