universal headlamp capsules how to

[yousufwalton]

as the normal headlamp capsules are 75$ + how to go about putting in the universal ones, is it to much trouble. my other friend is giving me 100 bucks to get things i need to get it going. so how much trouble are the universal headlamp capsules to get in?

What are you talking about?

I think he is just talking about a headlight? Try looking for a local junk yard, you could get one there for under $20 if you can find one in decent shape. Or put up a wtb thread here and someone could probably help you out. Much cheaper than $75 or trying to get a universal headlight to fit.

LoL yeah headlight Just was being very specific, it's the glass casing that the bulb goes in it's called a capsule. Going to check the local yard tomorrow see if they have one

I always just called 'em headlights. The bulb is a lamp.

No junk yards have one, and im not old enough on here to make a WTB post, Anyways Ive seen some folks with the round universal headlights,(on here) and well there is the rectangle ones too. i mean i should it really be hard to put them in ?

98-2000 ranger headlight assemblies are almost a direct bolt in. Check Ebay. if you get them without the turn signal/side marker light the metal piece under the Festiva headlights can stay. Here is an example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/98000-RANGER...05d98d&vxp=mtr

so if i got the capsule off a ranger would i be able to get it to stay in on mine, the assembly ( metal brakcet ) and plug are fine its just the glass on the front of the capsule is broken

Yes, although you'll have to modify the light mounting pass-through area to allow for the additional light (turn signal/projector) to pass through the housing, and you will have to trim your grille to the angle of the new lights.

Just the glass wont fit. To use the ranger assembly you need the complete units. Both sides. Also the ranger uses 9007 bulbs for those yrs. Festiva's uses the 9004.

Re: universal headlamp capsules how to

That generation hasn't been tested yet. 98-00 is the only one we know works, but if you can find one in the junkyards, try and see if it will fit.
