(This post was last modified: 07-20-2005, 11:37 PM by ZX5focused.)
The seal on my drivers side headlight is shot and ford is replacing it under warranty. The cot of the Headlight is $700 + for one. What im wondering is, if i pay the difference, can they upgrade both my headlights to either the MACH HIDS or the Hella Projector lights. Both of those headlights are avaliable through Ford Racing Performance Parts catalogue. Anybody got an idea if it can be done? im gonna go to the dealer when i get off work and see if they can do it anyway but jsut wondering if someone here has done it before.
btw, i gues there is a TSB to replace any focus headlights that have a shot seal on them

They won't. Because they have to send the faulty light back to Ford to be re-embursed.
If you want HID's you gotta pay for them outright.
Besides.... are the mach HIDS not available in Canada now???
Sorry.

They say the stock headlight is $700? That cant be true.. when I had mine replaced (because the seals on both of them went) I think they were way less than that. Hell, even the HIDs were only $330 each when I got them (before the price jump).

thats what the lady told me, it was $700+ for the headlight, so they were gonna try and reseal it first. when i went to pick up the car, she said that there was a TSB for it and that they would replace it instead.
i gotta brign it back in tomorow

I don't know if I am or the guy who bought them for $100. That's what I was asking. I think he made out pretty good.
