Alternative Headlights

Postby aln101tf » Sun Mar 31, 2019 10:27 pm

2013 Tourneo.
Mine has what I thought was the only early custom headlights. The ones with an H15 DRL/Main reflector, a projector dip, and a reflector cornering lamp.
I have recently seen a pre-facelift Custom ( but later reg plate) with both dip and main reflectors.
The Ford parts dept wasn't interested in finding out what models were fitted with these, unless I had a Vin number.
Does anyone know where these headlamps come in the model and age line-up?
I want them !
My headlights are poor even with nightbreakers fitted in the projector dips, and nightbreaker don't make H15s for the mains.
thanks, Alan

If you can't fit the later headlights, the HIDS4U 35w kit works very well in the older Custom as does the Philips Ultinon LED bulb.

Are you saying the reflector headlights are a "later" fitment than mine?

No, reflector x 2 is on the pikey spec vans. Trend, Limited and Shellsuit vans have projector dip and reflector main/drl.
