I know I’m late to the conversation but CP and a few other places sell the Australian market headlight for the bricknose. They use the old rectangular sealed beam headlights like a Bullnose. This lets you use any DOT compliant projector LED you want. Wish the 92-97’s had the option, I’m tired of my wife asking if my headlights are on.

There was a thread about those lights. I don’t like that look at all but some do. The headlights on the ‘94 Bronco were bright. If you aren’t sure if the headlights are on then something is wrong.

They're on, my wife is just used to her new car with good lights. As for the Aussie lights, I agree, they aren't pretty, but I've always been a function over form kind of guy. I'll take the better lights over better looks.

The headlights on the 2015 SHO and the 2020 Fusion were awful. With that horizontal cutoff “line” they had very little down road vision so I had to use the high beams more than I do in my trucks. No way sealed beam lights are better. Clean the lenses and get better halogen bulbs.

Pictures from the day I did them. The passenger's side headlight is stained on the inside.





For the record, my lenses do need to be redone. So they lasted just over two years.
