Default My Car had to go to THE DOK

Well with AFD coming up I decided to get some new EF EL headlights, now you can play russian roulette and buy the cheap imported stuff on ebay which after 6 months or less you will be back to where you started.

OR the headlight wiring will melt
OR the reflectors will fade

Rendering what was new EF EL headlights 6 months ago just JUNK!!!

Or you can get some FORD GENUINE EF EL Fairmont Headlights, Change over and fitted and aimed correctly from www.theheadlighthospital.com.au





Old and NEW


Old and NEW


Now yes we have a sticky on how to repair these but what is done to the outside also has to be done to the inside of the lense and reflector for them to work PERFECT.

Kind of like just cleaning your car on the outside and leaving the inside still dirty - no point in doing that.

I saw a set "THE DOK" had on his Fairmont Wagon which he has had on there for years and they still look BRAND NEW

Awesome guy as well we talked for hours............

I have a Full Front Before Picture with the Faded headlights BUT when I get an AFTER Full Front Pic i will add that to the thread as well so you can see the full effect...................100% improves the look of your car

Scott is the best in town for headlight work of all types. I bought my BA XR lamps from him at a far better price than Ford offered. The Dok has the cure.

Sweet, get some before and after pics.............

The main thing about them is that they are Genuine Ford Headlights, they look as Good As New or even better.

If you had the eBay repo headlights and a genuine Ford one together you would be able to tell why they repo ones are cheap.........
