we have light!

[niko]

only put the pass side light in last night after i purchased it from ford few hours earlier, i already got hi-beamed because it probably is to "bright". driving around i was illuminating freeway signs perfectly lol

havent had time to adjust it either *whoops*


i have to wash it badly, this weather has been crap

[evlelf]

Apart from all the bugs you killed, that front end looks real neat man!!! nice work... im sure they r veeeeeeery bright

[LUXO_8]

looks great......new lights and fresh paint looks awesome!!


the reason you were flashed is the light will need adjusting......
come down and i'll do it for ya if you like.....

Looks good, new headlights make a big difference to lighting.

Wayne, do you have a specific tool or markings on a wall etc to adjust headlights to, or is it a bit of trial and error?

[Poetic Justice]

How much they set you back? They look sweet as

380 a side

i go off the roller door, its good as it has the lines.

you park the car about a meter from it, allign the lights so they are dead on and at the same height as the headlights, and put a mark with texta or tape or whatever so you have the reference point...

mark both the center line of light and the height..
like so

then reverse back about 5 meters and bring them down about 1 or 2 "lines" from your referance....and adjest them out so they're both still centered on the center lines

is that a serious figure?

cos thats a *** crapload!

[Sorted]

Who in their right mind would be $380 a side for Fairmont Headlights?

Guy on eBay sells genuine ones for $300 both sides.....

But Niko the front looks awesome now, noticed on the cruise you only had one new headlight - looked a bit weird....

[Kenaz]

I paid about $500 for a genuine pair of brand new Fairmont lights. Got some headlight covers thrown into the deal, thanks to Sunny

[niko]

thats what rippoff ford down my way were asking 380, it set me back 330 inc gst, i had one new one already so i didnt mind forking out for it

[Felony]

Gee thats nice Niko, i wish my headlights were that clean, lol :P

[Damo]

wow that looks brand new!

[Stevo]

That looks nice niko.!! If your willing to pay for new stuff, its always worth it!

[niko]

well i had one, so i didnt wanna keep it looking like a cheapo fix up lol it was the last thing to do for the front, took me 3weeks

[Dezza]

Looks much better Niko. I also put my new light in last weekend (I've been away since Saturday so haven't been on the forums to mention it). The other light is 4 years old so there is no real colour difference between the lights. I also fitted a set of clear indicators while I was at it! The front looks heaps better now, and unlike the old amber indicators, which leaked water like crazy, these ones don't! They seem like decent quality. I adjusted the lights but they may still be a little too high. I haven't been flashed though, so can't be too bad!

first mod hey dezza. :P i bet the clearies look good on your silver car.

Looks heaps better! Suits it really well!

First exterior mod anyway! I previously changed the stereo to a Clarion CD/MP3 player with Clarion 180W 3-way rear speakers (will replace the front speakers one day) and I fitted an EB T-bar instead of the crappy EA one. They were a while ago, but they're not really that visible from the outside.

Will post up a pic of the front end when I get around to taking the photo.

Mine are like brand new too. They came with the car and they are original too. More lighting at night. Its good
