Bought Black Headlights/ Led Fogs

Hey Everyone,

I finally got a job :P so i am back to modding my truck woot :)

Lastnight i bought these black headlights from streetune on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-06...Q5fAccessories

Also i bought these LED Fog lights:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories

Little information about my truck. Ford Ranger Edge '05. I currently have 8k HID Headlights. The reason i am buying these black headlights is because my current headlight casing is jimmy rigged. I have hose clamped them on so they don't jiggle around while driving and blind people or else i would just paint them. I figured it would be nice to have the correct positioning again with my headlights and just buy a new set with no broken pieces :P

What does everyone think will this setup look good? Also i hate the yellow turn signal lights that are in my headlight casing.. It takes away from the HID's. I would like to have white turn signal lights. Anyone do this? I have looked for them can't seem to find them



Thanks everyone for reading

They are clear lens and put out a clear/yellowish light, but no reflection when turned of in the housing. I checked for those corner ones and all they had was the orange ones. I bought a clear pair that looked the same but have a different bulb number so we'll see if that works. Would put them in now but it's raining.

I was considering taking out the corner lamp lights. Considering i hate the yellow that is always lit on the sides of the headlight. As for the turn signals in the headlight casing itself, i was thinking about taking off the yellow/orange film that is around the light (since i see its already peeling off on some parts) i am not sure if this is even possible without ruining the light. If i can find a pair of clear ones or if anyone has a link that would be great.

Is part number 9145?

You know those foglights aren't going to work without some modding...they don't even look like the 04-07 ones. They look like the ones for the European ranger.

The title says "2004-2009 Ford Ranger LED Fog Lamps Lights 05 06 07 08"

Why would that not work

Okay I am going to cancel this, i have a few other ones i thinking of purchasing for fogs.. Or i could just go the route of buying HID 8k fogs which is simple but too much money for fogs imo..

wow thanks guys for the way fast replies i am researching all this information. Also i emailed the seller on ebay and i told him the deal and requested a refund. How would i go about cancelling the order when i already paid for it. I don't want to request a chargeback... would't fit that category. Anyone happen to know?
