Put the same headlights on my 97 Expedition and they look great!
Install was pretty straightforward as Greenscobie86 says. I followed his tip and measured the adjustment screws off the old headlight and matched the lengths on the new ones...worked perfectly! What a difference for just $100 off of eBay.

Dang, that looks mean! Did you do the actual HID lights? What was the total cost of that? I would switch to real HID's, I don't want just the HID "look", I want the HID output as well.
Nice truck!

That sounds about right. I have thought about robbing the HID ballasts out of a wrecked car and McGyvering them into my truck with something like the assemblies you have, but that sounds easier than it is. I know where a wrecked SVT Focus is with the HIDs, but I haven't inquired about the lights yet. And it is only a theory that it'd even work.
If I don't do the HID's I may just get a bull bar and some HO off-road lights, which would end up being cheaper anyways, and provide some much needed front end protection.

I have a similar question. I have a 1997 F-250 that I would like smoked or black headlights on "aftermarket." The biggest problem is when I search .. my truck dosnt exist on many sites. My truck is the 92-96 style of truck .. ford made a few in 97.
Does anyone know of any sites that may have this type of headlights? Thank You
