Hey MustangGT221!!!!!

I was looking in your Galery and saw you have the crystal headlights...I didn't want to order themuntil i talked to someone else with them and I found you
How do you like them? How different are they? Did you get the ones from procarparts.com?
Thanks,
Justin

Hey MustangGT221!!!!!

I like them a lot, they look awesome and fit perfect. The lighting isn't a whole lot better, but noticeable. I didn't buy them for the extra lighting, I bought them for style. I don't remember the company i bought them from, but the auction was titled something like "92-96 ford/bronco clear diamond headlights". There are also "euro" headlights on there i've seen, not sure if they are the same. The guy I bought them from, has quite a few negatives, but i looked at most of them and they weren't anything like "sent payment but didn't get product", so i wasn't worried about getting ripped off. I saw a few people say that whatever make/model lights they bought were leaking, but the directions say to silicone them. I checked any feedback on our model to see what people said and concluded that they fit fine and don't need to be siliconed so I bought them. They fit perfect, don't leak, and look awesome.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!

Hey MustangGT221!!!!!

I appreciate the speedy response, I've seen some on e-bay and see a different brand/style at procarparts.com so I think I'm going to get them from procarparts...I'm not much into the lighting either...i just like being different and when something new for these models comes out I want to be all over it.
I like your new rig, it's looking great!
I'll start my gallery soon, my truck looks similar to your last one RIP.

Thanks,
Justin

Hey MustangGT221!!!!!

Could ya help me out again?

I'm trying to pull my old headlights off but can't figure it out. Do i just remove those 4 little black adjuster things on the back of the lights?
Also how do I get the chrome piece around the lights off? I see the 2 screws on the top...but I remove those and it's still attached towards the bottum, I'm stuck

Hey MustangGT221!!!!!

You need to remove the battery first so you have enough room. With a 10mm socket, there are two studs on the back of the turn signal light, with nuts that you have to remove. There is a box cut out of the metal to get a ratchet and socket in there. On the other side, you have to remove the washer fluid/coolant tank, I just moved it up on top of the airbox and put a string around it and ran it around the hood's spring to hold it there, the hose was long enough. Be careful you don't turn it sideways or pull the hose out, you'll have coolant or washer fluid all over the place. Same thing with the studs on this side. Once you remove those two nuts, you can remove the two screws ontop of the chrome trim. The corner lights (directionals) and side marker lights are screwed into the chrome piece. Once you get this far, you can remove the bulbs and take it out. To install the headlights, i didnt change the adjuster sockets, what i did was unscrew the adjusters, and screw the adjusters of the new lights in place. Anymore questions, feel free. Here's a tip, to put the nuts back on the studs of the turn signals, put the nut into the socket, and put a dab of greese on there to hold the nut in the socket. That way you can easily thread the nut on without doing it by hand and dropping the nut in that tight of a place.
