Can we get this stickied so we don't have to go searching for it eveytime someone asks?

+1....Since I own a B-series truck, I am looking at retrofitting the housings with projectors (I have some on my Mustang) but really would like to do it on my truck...

Thanks for the sticky guys

And anyone know how well these will stand up to some abuse of the truck? I still want to go offroading without these flying out

ship them. it's a newfangled invention designed by the hip younger crowd.


in other news, i think i'm going to pick up some morimoto mini's at some point and do my swap. ebay has black headlight sets with corners for my year for around $50, makes it easier to do the swap over the course of a few days so i can still drive around

Hey guys!
Its been awhile since i've been back to this forum. Nice to see this thread stickied

I still have these lights installed and they still work flawlessly. I do a bunch of rough driving every weekend and they haven't crapped out yet.

That's good to know. I try not to launch my truck but I know Mac(doyouquaxu) tries to destroy his every weekend

oh reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally? this just spiked my interest meter. can you notice the light bouncing around or any type of flex in the housing from having the projectors in there?

Just make sure you take your time and get them in there tight when you install them and you're good mine haven't moved an inch. And when going on real rough terrain the lights stay put and move with the truck, haven't noticed any flexing or anything.

will this work for any ranger housing? ive been looking into gettin the crystal lenses for my 93 but i want projectors to run HIDs.

 

[Steeda04SVT]

Been looking at trying to retrofit some as well for my B2.

 

[3.0ranger1227]

Anyone know what two wires to change if my highs/lows are switched?

D2S Adapters

Aaaaaaaand, one of my scratched shrouds. Gonna contact them tomorrow anyways since I found out after I ordered the kit that I need a special harness to get my high beams to work.

Still waiting on the LED halos off ebay, and I'm going to order another set of headlights to do this mod on tonight.
