pnwrs2000 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Need some headlights for my mk2 escort but I fancy some of those clear ones with better bulbs and possibly the ones with the cross hairs in them ? Question is where do I get them from and do they "just fit" or do they need modifying in some way ?
macford Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I used mk1 or mk2 golf headlights,,much cheaper Get them with the backing plate like Ebay item. 221395440362 Keep watching. As the clear ones with the + do come up now and again
mk2 mike Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 Speedshack do them. Crystal light upgrade with brighter bulbs. Look great! About £50 with bulbs. 1
theloudboy Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 As mike said speak to steve at speedshack amd ask for the crystal H4 conversion I did and they bolted in so no need to buy anything else and they are amazing 1
rallyesport04 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 I went on e bay typed in mini crystal headlamps cheap as chips fit with no issues
dustydog Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 I have just removed 2x golf mk1 headlights of mine bought them last week but I have found genuine ford ones £50 posted with side light adapters as well let me know
mk2 mike Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 I've not tried mine in the dark yet mark but love the way they look on the car. Brightens up the front end! 2
theloudboy Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 You will love them mike they give out some much more light than the ford ones it is unreal
pnwrs2000 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 Cheers everyone. I'll give Speedshack a ring in the morning 1
radjay mk1 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 there is a company called powerful on the web,they do crystal headlamps for lots of classic fords & they are on ebay too. i got my crystal headlamps for my mk2 escort from them for £29 the pair + delivery
pnwrs2000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Posted March 31, 2014 Bought a set of crystal clear lights and fancy bulbs and sidelights off Steve at Speedshack last week. Very helpful bloke ! Fitted them into the chrome rings yesterday with no problems but need to get some new plastic bowls now as they've both seen better days from previous bodged screws / bolts etc. Will get a few pics up when they're done but am very happy and they look miles better than the old H4 halogen units that were in it.

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1395600071.048601.jpg Mike have I noticed blue bulbs in you headlamps ? Are they road legal as only john law can have blue bulbs luminated on a vehicle
pnwrs2000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Posted March 31, 2014 I asked Steve this same question. They are blue when not switched on but apparently are a white light when they're switched on
theloudboy Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Yes they are white when you turn them on and steve is a top bloke
pnwrs2000 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Posted April 5, 2014 Got my new headlamps fitted today along with some new bowls I got from GS Escorts. I'll get some pics tomorrow but they do look and work very well ! Anyone got any tips for how to set the aim up roughly so when it goes for its MOT they're pointing roughly in the right direction ???
