1972 ford f100 head lights

Post by jlb »

Does any one know, Can I get headlights at auto zone, napa, or something like that?? or do I need to order them online? I didn't know that that would be maybe a stock item?

THANKS

Yep, most auto part stores will carry them. You can also upgrade to Halogen for a few bucks more

7-inch round sealed beams or halogens.

Consider upgrading the wiring with a headlight relay harness... $30 through LMC and it is decent.

You can get housings to convert to H4 bulbs and then use LED or HID bulbs if you want.

The LED bulbs have an amazing lifespan, low current draw for their output and resist vibration well.

You may need to clearance the headlight buckets in order for modern headlamps to seat properly.
