deankdx 14,038 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 been a bit of discussion lately about spot lights, fog lights, normal headlights and XR6 etc lights. unfortunately i just removed My XG XR6 lights (due to not being able to see where i was going on low beam) so if anyone has a good set, would be good to see similar. pics were taken about dusk, so not fully dark. about 3 meters from the gates.. if you could post up what you have and a similar pic and maybe a pic of the glass lense condition (often sandblasted) that would be good. below is a pic of low beam on an XF with reco reflectors Ford Glass in ford housings. LOW BEAMS Both reco ,stock globes non reco genuine lense and reflector on left.. reco on right both on high beam, non reco left.. 3 Ants, Valvebouncer and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Polson 4,727 Report post Posted August 3, 2016 I doubt the buyer realises that Dave, looking at the ad I'd assume they were genuine Ford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankdx 14,038 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 well,after a bit of fucking about at dusk, i have done an experiment with some XF XG headlights using a few combos i have handy..i couldnt make up a full chinese one as i only have a good left lense and a good right reflector.. but did a mix n match with the ford stuff just to see how they went..not sure if these pics will work, trying a new hosting thingy due to photobucket being down..short version is ...the chinese glass is crap.. the reflectors definitely are different and do aim differently..(this might be adjustable, but i had issues in the past trying to make them aim correct .. seemed there wasn't enough adjustment ) in the past i have had a non genuine complete headlight and it didn't fit the car very well either.. a new or good chinese headlight will make better light than a worn out dull ford light though..here are the pics. .. note, just because the light spread looks bigger, doesn't mean its better.. lense design has many focus points 3 Mr Polson, XTREME KARTS XF and Mick.G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
