Sweet!

I just found a 6pc daimond clear headlight / cornerlight package deal on ebay for 100$ plus 20$ shipping!

I'll let you guys know if its legit when they come in. I sure hope it
is!

 

[seth247]

just got em in. They look decent quality for a c-note. I'll post pics after I get off work.

I'll probly install them tommorow.

I got them from makoto auto trends or something like that. If you guys are interested.

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

awesome would love to see the pics how it looks

 

[seth247]

I'm in the middle of installing them right now.
Note to anyone getting these: make shure you buy some amber bulbs before you start the install the stokers are clear bulbs and you need amber ones with the new corner lights. I want to get some of the ones that are Crome and light up
amber but its 1:30 right now and only walmarts open. And they don't have the Crome bulbs. any way I took pics earlier but can't upload them yet.

I'm just waiting for
my dad to get back from walyworld.

Okay here they are.

Okay here we go

and heres my cat who tried his best to get hair all over my new shiny stuff.

And last but not least heres a good animated .gif

Keep in mind i have what are supposed to be 90/100 watt bulbs ($1.95 ebay) so take that into account on the pics.


i don't have any installation pics sorry i'm a bad person i know but i have very little will power and have new shiny stuff for my truck and not having it installed was to much for my restraint. (which is why i installed them at one in the morning! [that and i work nights])

anyway i think it turned out great! i wasn't sure i would like the full clear look but i do.

now for the complaints: the lights were fairly good quality, in that i could not tell a real difference from stock quality except for a few things
1. the reflective coating on the headlights had a few imperfections but nothing major, just a place or two were the coating didn't adhere but they are negligable.

2. the aiming system was not good it had the same system as the stokers but somehow the knob to aim left and right actually moved it up and down(and after a while the right-angle-transmission on the left and right knob started skipping gears low quality), and the up and down knob (extremly difficult to get a ratchet on, actually impossible on passenger side, but thats ford design at fault on that. another ford complaint is WHY are the aim knobs 5/32nd's size!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?) the up and down knob didn't move anything.

if i were you a would steal the aiming system off of the stocks before putting them in but i managed to get it pretty close so no biggie.

3. i had to "reposition"(bend with pliers) the bulb shields inside the headlight housing because they were pointed a little off-kilter. which is the reason for the pliers in the early pics. it was fairly easy with needle nose you just have to be careful.

also you may notice in some of the pics on the front of the headlight it says
"DEPO" which is a brand i've heard before i think i have seen it on other headlights. and some numbers and then "SEA" and "DOT' so they are DOT approved, no POlice troubles. and the sae suggest the may have been made in the usa cause thats the us standard measurement logo for example 5/32nd's is a sae measurement. but that could be wrong.

overall i am pleased with my 100 dollars i would recomend to any one who wants a cheap box of shiny stuff for there x.

And believe it or not that cat is older than ME!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EXPL...021QQitemZ310036296056QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
They cost more but they are the same ones

 

[Tbars4]

...thanks...it says the sell s over but they have a phone number...

 

[91exploreron37]

No prob. Yea I'd try and see if they have any more before I go with the second seller as they are cheaper.

 

[seth247]

im still pretty satisfied with the lights.
but i need some new bulbs ive got buck 95 ebay bulbs right now and if i spend some more money i think it will look even better.

my passenger side fogged up the other day but it was minor and probably just the moisture already in the light from when i installed.

good luck with yours guys but i warn be carefull when installing. on the clear main turn signal housing the reflective couting is on the outside instead of in, so if you scrape the outside it will show on the inside, and the clips that attach it to the main housing are just beggin to scrape something. no such worries on the main headlight housing though fully coated on the inside.

also let me know how they do with the hid's i want some.

heres a link to the only set i could find right now it has around 6 days left!

[seth247]

so how are yours doin 9137?

And did you get any tbars?

 

[91exploreron37]

Yea I got mine in and installed a while back. I'm pretty happy with them so far, I thought I wasnt going to like the look of the clear signals because I origianlly wanted just the headlights but this was it was a good deal.
Heres a few crappy pics I took, I'll get some more of the beam pattern.

 

[seth247]

lookisng good man. Keep
an eye on the bulb shields my drivers side melted loose two weeks ago. But I have a diode that runs my lows when my highs are on. But the beam pattern is nice and I can't wait foe hids

I searched last night and makoto auto trends is still selling them.
