hey guys
A mate giving me some xr head light frames but there missing the lenes. Ive got a xr front bar at home that i can use that.
All im missing the the 4 lenes.

Do you guys know what size the head light lenses are the inner and outer lenes???
or they both same size??? i thinking they might be 7" but i think i could be wrong

Anyone know?

i had a look on the front end conversion Technical Documents and said nothing in there about sides


Cheers,
Jason

The only aftermarket lamps that I've seen that match the ford ones are the twinlight items - are there others ???

The actual lights are the same in the twinlights?
I wouldn't of though it would be that hard to get a set of Hella or Narva driving lights to fit behind the bar - don't know what the light output spread would be like though...

O, and I'm pretty sure they are 6".

They look similar, but are imported - only average quality I've been told.

Getting lights is easy - getting the suitable type is the issue - the factory high beams are a driving light type lamp, low beam is a projector setup. I don't think ford still supply them - hella may possibly still stock them, but they won't be cheap.
So fitting 4 x driving lamps may be the best compromise, but will need to be adjustable.
