I would totally buy a set from you if you made some for the 92-96 trucks.

I have somebody sending me one lens for a 79 soon on that truck I'm assuming that one lens will fit both sides...

With a '92+ I would need both the right and left side lenses though.

Hey 79f150 guy

That's an awesome find on that website, my iPhone doesn't let me choose a year other that 80-86 what do they have for the 87+ years?

Yes deal is still on, i guess your user name on here threw me off. If the lenses you want are just like the ones I already made then you don't have to send me anything. I'll just use what I already have to make a new set of molds out of something some new stuff that I'm going to try to get higher quality lenses. The ones on my truck were the first and second I ever pulled for my truck and I have to admit they came out pretty darn good. After a little bit more work I'm sure I can pull off something flawless

Not sure but I think he's talking about the lenses, maybe? There are tons of places online that sells he projectors if that's what your talking about...including eBay.

I think it'd look killer with clear corners too, but you'd want the crystal clear ones, not the ones with lines to match the stock headlights. Which are these, it doesn't show a picture for me?

Ohhh. You can get clear lensed headlights on ebay for cheap for the 92-96s. Dont think you can for the 87-91s. Why I figured he wasnt talking about lenses.

Reason i'm sending mine is becouse mine is an xlt and has thin chrome trim around the lights, so the mold would be differant than yours. Has a grove in the lences that the trim attaches too... Let me look into getting clear corners without chrome trim, if i can find them i'll go with what you have and just not have trhe xlt trim.. thanks

Ha... I completely wasn't thinking. I forgot that there aren't really any projector headlights for the 87-91 trucks on the market.. I have seen them on eBay before the 92-96s like you said Migs. I think I'll just buy some from there.

Ebay projectors are complete chit compared to Projector headlight retrofits. Plus they are ugly!

That's what I did, I found a distributor online and bought projectors.

The only thin I did have to do myself is make the clear lenses that you need otherwise the upgrade isn't, well, an upgrade.

Here's a pic of my cut off which is a lot better than the cut off that my wife's '11 TSX has.
