Redoing Front End of 1992 Explorer

[Bmwz389]

Ok, so I've had some bad luck this year with my truck:

When I first got it, the paint was startin to fade on the hood and the rook was sun baked primer....

So I go to school where we do auto body repair. So I took it in and filled in some holes where there used to be anntennas, bondoed it, sanded, primed, painted..

Looked excellent.

Then my luck was amazing with her since then until 3 months afterwards...

Some dumb #### hit me with no headlights on at like 6:30 AM and ####ed me up.

So I got it all repaired, put on used parts, redid hood and stoneguard, and repainted it.

Looked Great for my own work in a shop. (Came within 1/8th inch of factory frame alignment. (note: in front of suspension so steerings not affected))

Then, near a month later or so, I clipped a deer, it busted my grille completely, broke headlamp chrome housing, bent the hood a bit....

Then, the next morning, I got woke up to find out my mom backed into my truck with her 05 Durango...Keep in mind it was 7 AM and she thought I was at a friends....so she didnt see it....

So Now I;m on winter break and lookin at **** to put on it now that I have a reasonable excuse to....

So I'm wanting to do these:

New Chrome Bumper
Complete Diamond Cut Headlamp Assembly
Billet Grille
Bright Headlights (Similar to HID, but I dont wanna convert to HID)


Soooo, I think I found a decent headlamp assembly

I got the bumper down, Im just ordering a completely new one.

I have yet to find a nice billet grille for my 1992 Explorer XLT, So could anyone help me find one?

Now, the most complicated thing....bulbs

I want a blue look, and I want them bright. Since the headlamp assy I'm buying come with shields, I can put brighter bulbs in (9004).

Someone Told me Sylvania Silver Stars, but I think they are just bright white not blue.

Also someone said Nokya bulbs, I can't find their website, and I cant find any blue bulbs from them...

SO PLEASE...can anyone help me find these items? If you can that would be ####ing awesome!

Thanks alot!!

Google Nokya. Only about 3 bazillion hits.
Ebay will probably have grills & headlights & bulbs as cheap as anyone.

Ok so the only things I can find for Nokya are Arctic White, Arctic Purple, and Arctic Yellow.....so does anyone have a picture of the Arctic Whites in use????
