2005 Excursion Headlight question

Does the 2005 Excursion have the same head lights and the 2005 superduty? or did it just reuse the 2004 parts?

99-05 excursions are all the same
99-04 f-trucks are the Same

05 + F-trucks began the facelift era while the excursion was slated for the chopping block.

05 excursion did get the 05 headlights, grille, header panel and bumper. Same as the super duty trucks. The rest of the excursion more or less did not change but the front end did.

Yes, '05 Super Duty front cosmetics are common to the '05 EX.

I had some similar to that. They were junk and less light than the actual OEM headlights. Finally did a HID retrofit and by far the best mod yet.

I just put some Spyder halos on. They are brighter than my OEM lights. But crappy that you have to splice into the wiring to get them in.

If I could do it over I’d have bought the Harley headlights and be done. My aftermarkets fog up in the rain or car wash, it’s annoying when I have so much time and money invested in old girl. I’ll be upgrading to the Harley Davidson’s eventually. Halos look cheesy and high schoolish in my opinion.

I ended up ordering a set of OEM lights, to keep the factory look. after googling up more pictures those projector lights can look pretty cheesy

I also stayed away from the projector lights when I upgraded, but wanted something for day use. I ordered the same OEM look with the LEDs at the bottom of the housing and hooked them to a switch so I could run them as DRLs. They make this style in the 05 Harley look with 6 LEDs between the headlight and bumper lights. Sorry, my camera can't really show the detail of the LEDs, but they are about 13K my headlight bulbs are 6K. I never run them at the same time.
