It's pretty much the same thing as the headlight mod...except it takes a lot longer for the taillight to come apart. I'm planning to do it whenever I get nice enough day and time haha
this threads two years old which is why they don't know about it and i have the only set of 06+ ones that are done. someones done 03's tho

i have a couple questions as well...i didn't really ever think about doing some exterior mods to my truck until joining on this forum...I'm seeing the xenon conversion kits and these slim fit kits?...are they the same?

and also, i have a 2000 ranger...will later model headlights fit?...i know they combined the lamp and turn signal...wasn't sure if they were the same size as the stock lamp and turn signal space? a few pointers appreciated

I have these on my 03 EDGE Steppie.
They appeared to be well made, all the electronics are internal, all you do is plug in some connectors from the lights to the OEM Harness and twist them in, all sealed up.
I also changed the backup lights to directionals with bright amber bulbs and will have aftermarket backup lights ONCE I GET A REAR BUMPER, which seems to evade me.



Parking Lights:



Brake Lights:



They are bright and I have thought about using some of the NightShade on them but I haven’t yet.

Head light are these:
I got them off of E-Bay but I don’t remember the manufacturer.
As usual with most aftermarket headlights, they are not OEM and the pattern will take a little getting used to but if you do the Fog Light (bend the pin) Mod, it helps a lot and fills in the open space.

I have the Amazon LED tails and love them. Im thinkin of adding some nightshade to the though just to tone down the chrome. If I didnt get such a deal on them ($100 shipped) I woulda gotten the black ones.
