Headlights
My next project for the spring is going to be the lights, mine are stock 2001 with the ugly amber and dark illumination, anybody have pics available of the conversion? And advice, I'm really stumped on just going to the clearer swap of 02-04 or the one piece housing of the 05.

Here's a before and after of mine. It should have had the clear corners and clear headlights on it, but it didn't when I got it, so I put it back to stock.
Once I had the parts, they were a direct swap. 1/2 hour maybe?

These are my favorite stock 16" Ford wheels.

It's a lot of cutting. Rotozip or Dremel would work best.

I just got my 05 headlights a few days ago. I am going the whole way with the correct header panel, grill, and all.
I will be doing mine this summer hopefully and then selling off my 03 headlights, grill and header panel.
