Thread link not working

Hello,

I wasn't sure if there was a technical thread to post to so I'll just put this here. The thread Whiter Whites, Brighter Brights Headlight Relay Conversion (https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/...r_Brights.html) is not working. When I go to the page it gives me a 500 error in Chrome and in IE. I figured I'd look at this how-to since I'm going to be replacing the headlight switch pigtail provided by Kramercd I thought that I would go ahead and do this coversion at the same time. If I need to put this in a new location please let me know.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Not working for me, either, I just get a blank, white screen in Firefox.

IIRC that's an FTE Article, I don't know if IB still supports the infrastructure that makes those things work or not, let's ask @IB Jose

Curtis, you're right in that link structure no longer works, as it's the old front page link.

I'm not sure if that page was migrated over to the new Wordpress system or not--it'd be safer for me to say that it probably wasn't.

Will these be updated or is there another place I can see the thread? It looks like something that I'd really like to try to get brighter headlights without having to do an LED conversion.

Thanks again,

Jeremy

Jeremy, I know LMC makes a plug-n-play head light relay kit, site is down or I would have posted a link.
They say you can find them on EBay also.
I have 2 of the LMC kits to use in different cars but may use 1 of the 2 in my truck when the time comes.

Yeah, LMC makes a kit to do what's described in that article, it's probably the best thing to do as I for some reason don't expect to see that article ever again.

The LMC harness is at the bottom of page 78 here:

Thank you both. You're right that it will probably be the easiest route.

Which is cool, but now I need to ask @lavatan where did you get that original link you submitted? Was that from a browser bookmark? Or from some page someplace?

That link is plastered all over the internet, folks have been looking for that article for two decades it looks like. To get the one I found I had to search both the title and the authors name to find it.
