Best Headlight Assemblies for 1995 Bronco?

I love the Halogen headlight bulbs that I am using now.

I don't want LED bulbs for various reasons including that I drive in snowstorms at night and I rely on the heat generated by the Halogen bulbs to keep the headlamp lenses clear of snow and ice.

But that little metal side blinder thingy has popped off in one of the oem assemblies that I bought a few years ago, so I have to change it, so I should look maybe about updating the Bronco's appearance.

Here is a photo of a good looking updated Bronco grille and lights that the owner posted on FTE a few years ago:



I think these may be the headlights. And they use H1 and H7 halogen bulbs to split the high and low beams, which I think I would prefer over the current single bulb per headlamp assembly.

I think that this may be the grille:

What do you guys recommend?

Those are called projector lenses, they typically produce a very well defined light pattern with zero spill which is both good and bad. The good is that no light output is wasted illuminating overhead aircraft or bugs on the ground right under the bumper, but that also means the low beam lens only illuminates the post holding up some roadside signs. Our Sante Fe has these projector lenses with halogen bulbs and I like them overall.

My staunch recommendation is to buy the factory Ford OEM housings, still available new from Ford or the TYC CAPA-certified housings from RockAuto. Obtain some quality bulbs such as Philips, Vosla +100/+120 or GE Nighthawk. Do not under any circumstances buy Sylvania bulbs, they are absolute junk. Add a headlight relay harness from CE Auto Electric or the one from Bronco Graveyard so you have full battery voltage at your bulbs and enjoy bright, legal lighting. You will be amazed at how much the new, unyellowed stock housings, a relay harness and good bulbs will light the road.

OE. Ew...if youre gonna go and replace ford headllights, buy yourself a pack of the retainer clips. all but one of mine had to be ruined to even take off and I needed a new header panel personally. but sits a lot, has been in sun, midwest. o

Cheaper housings/bezels, the plastic dimensions werent perfect so things were fitment wise a little weird but it worked. The current issue is Adjsuters, the Aftermarket adjusters are JUNk.


This was with the LEDs that came with it, cheapie, but I put nicer ones in and oriented them to have a cutoff with the cheap housing! Surprsied.


i think its been 2, 3 years now ive had em. would step up to a nicer quality kind, 90 for both was a little cheap but it HAS worked so i cant be upseet
go forder
