The Great Quest for Headlights

[Connor]

While looking for something completely different, I cam across these...They look f***ing fantastic, but the price...ouch. Hope I'm not just reposting this. I looked but didn't find anything.

They do look good! There's a member on another forum who bought them. He paid closer to $1000 (I think) but he got the "prototype price". Those pictures are of his lights. He did a thread on the build at fiestast dot net.

They say 100% legal.
Are they DOT approved?

Wtf why can't someone just make a simple projector head light so I can run hid's jeez

 

[mYsTiCfAc3]

A single projector, bi xenon with led accent like the UK version with black housing at a decent price that is truly plug and play would be amazing.

Exactly like this one basically

Get some tetros done.

They can be had for under $1000 if you want them to be.

Miss this when I had my `Stang. The parts. Oh my god the parts. They were everywhere!

As you said, they say they're legal but nothing about being DOT approved. Hmmmm

I just don't get it. They have aftermarket head lights for the focus st for 400 (which I would pay ) but nothing for the fist

Availability maybe?

I'm guessing its popularity. They figure they'll get money for Focus parts before the Fiesta? The Focus seems to be getting the attention first as they're selling more.

To be honest depending on situation nearly 1500$ isnt bad.

If those are off the shelf buy and install ready to go lights.

Think about it, a good HID retrofit will run you anywhere from 700-1200$ for the full deal (projectors/ballasts, shipping, services, etc)

Then if its your DD you need another set of lights to either ship or use, so add at least 400$ to that number. Boom you are nearly at that 1500$ mark. So in reality it ISNT that expensive, just up front cost seems that way.

that is pricey though.. got my pairs of euro lamps for half of that price

Indeed BUT these are custom, plus they are HID projectors. Im sure you could upgrade the EU spec ones to projector and have a clean cutoff and great performance, but i dont knot if that will require replacing the projector or not.

I did put hid on my euros and the cut off isn't tooooo bad. I'll upload a pic later.

If they are not DOT approved, they are NOT legal in the US.
