Ken, that looks sweet as hell. Great job on the install and thanks for the how to write up. How long did it take you to do it?
|
Looks great. Love mine too. reps
|
Are you interested in selling the old lights if so how much.
|
Install took about 3 hours. Actually a pretty easy job to do. I did also loosen the bumper to allow it to drop down for clearance
I need to fix a few of the pictures, looks like I pasted the wrong ones in a few spots. I will most likely sell the OEM lights. I need to post it in the classifieds though. Just haven't had time yet. |
Looks good! Hope to throw some of those on Chelseas Excursion...
|
Nice work Ken. Write-up and pics are great.
|
Ken they look great on your truck and thanks for doing such a great job on the write up !! reps sent :-drink
When you went to adjust / aim these headlight were there any problems??:-huh |
They adjusted really quickly. I ended up doing the drivers side first, backed the truck out and set it based on the passenger side one. Then did the passenger side and matched the other one. I just park about 25' from my garage door and set it to the panel lines.
If you had to adjust left to right, you could use the mounting screws for little bit of adjustment. Height is set with an adjuster built into the lights. Really easy. |

I was asking because I thought that style of light only had a up and down adjusted and had hoped there wasn't any issues with left to right. So that is good to know. I want a set of them. :-drink But I keep having to spend money on parts noone will ever see.:-X15 |
No issues with the fit. Remember only a small adjustment at the light will make a large adjustment down the road. Mine we're nicely adjusted left to right. Only needed a height correction.

I used this headlight aiming guide the first time I changed a set of headlights.
The next time I just shined the lights on the garage door and and used masking tape to mark the center of focus for each light and marked where the front tires were on the driveway. After install I just put truck back in the same place and adjusted the the center of focus of the new lights to that of the old lights. |
That is a pretty good reference Robin! Easier to understand than the Ford manual version.
Here is the shot of mine after adjustments. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC_0245.jpg |
