the headlight housing on my 89 ranger melted. will the housing from a 93 explorer work? I have access to a donor but its a 20 mile drive and it would be great if I could find out in advance.

89-92 Ranger, 89-90 BII, and 91-94 Explorer.... They are all interchangeable.

Does anyone know what years/models I can get a headlight from for an '87 LT230S? I would assume they fit from any year LT230S. I need the whole assembly.
Go figure....I'm actually parting out an 87 LT230s. :thefinger: Spammer :thefinger:
