Thanks, bebandit. The pics you're looking for are around page 15 I believe, RBrown.

MH, what do you need help with?

[MiltonHavoc]

I'm kinda getting it sorted. My ranger headlights came with a wiring harness and some other electrical goodies..
I don't really want to dig into harnesses and stuff, not my strong point lol. I will post pics in a min or two maybe. I might just wait and put it in my build thread if drummer nerd and I can get it sorted.

I thought all you had to do was swap 2 wires around on the festy plug to make the ranger bulbs work? If I'm wrong let me know because I want to do this in the future as well.

Mine have projectors built in

[gergorian]

Ah, ok. I see your dilema now.

Re: Ranger Headlights Installed

MH, those projectors are auxiliary, designed to be used as driving lights. The wiring is simple. You draw power from your battery, and run a switch into your dash. Use a relay after that switch, connecting both auxiliary lights to the driver's side high beam wire through the relay to turn them on with your high beams. That way you have the option to turn your driving lights off. In my opinion, this is the best possible use of HID option in our cars because it's not blindingly bright for oncoming cars since you wouldn't use it in traffic.

DO: thanks. That makes it a lot simpler!

You're welcome! Here's how you can use an OEM switch as a driving light switch: http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=46372

looks great. someone should do a detailed HOW TO write up.

i agree

From what I have heard, people in Australia have NO restrictions on buying stuff from Iran. Why can't we have one of the MANY Aussies on this site get some Saipa parts, and forward them to the US from Iran?

please give me some contacts and i'll see what i can do.. i'll say they're from a Holden or even something over here like a hyandai.. fuck em is my attitude.. i got jufran sauce from the phillipines.. i can get headlights from iran to the US... no worries.

Well it seems like a bit more info is needed. This has become a bit foggy.
I see some people say that they had to remove some of the sheet metal, and others just say they had to drill mounts.
Drumnerd and I were eyeballing mine and it seems like we would have to cut away the lip at the bottom of the headlight holes right above the bumper?
