91 ranger and the headlights aren't great. I've polished them and tried different bulbs but still sorta meh. Now the headlights are leaking so it's time for an upgrade.
Anyone know of a decent headlight assembly? Or really anything to help. I'm perfectly fine with replacing them with stock lenses and getting some super bulb that doesn't require a load of wiring
Is your complaint about brightness or pattern? If it's the former, good wiring can make more of a difference than a super bulb. Throw a relay in there so the lights get full voltage and you'll perk up anything.
Does the truck use standard 5x7 lights?
Its more a complaint about everything. Pattern, brightness, taste, smell 
......
It doesn't use sealed beam nor are they a standard sort of size it Seems.
Ollie's markets have Hella super whites in 9003, 9004 and 9006 for $9.99 a set locally. If there's no Ollie's locally I'd check out rallylights.com as there good people. The LED kits on the market throw a lot of clean light but the light doesn't have any penetration power to it.
This is grm, right?
By another oem or after market set and crack them bitches open, then throw some proper hid projectors in there.
Was there ever a European market glass lens available? If not, it's hard to beat new lenses and some fresh 'bumper chrome' paint on the reflectors.
May also be some full LED conversions that swap the whole bucket and lens, just swapping to led bulbs probably wouldn't do much.
Agreed, LED or HID conversion only if you do reflectors as well. I'd just get new bulbs and add a relay for voltage. If the lenses are cloudy and won't buff up, get new ones.
I'll sell you the hid and projector setup I have for the duster cheap. Think 75 bucks shipped. Or trade for a pair of hella e codes or cibie. In 7 round.
If you don't want to run projectors, check into whether there's a Euro version of the vehicle. If so and you can get the non-UK Euro headlights, they are generally worlds better than old US spec headlights (better beam pattern and can take high wattage H4 bulbs for more output).
isn't that ranger the same as a similar mazda?
It would take some fabricstion but the headlights I my wife's H2 are spectacular. They are a plastic round unit about 5" in diamiter. If I was looking to upgrade a car on the cheap I would look at getting a set of these and somehow mounting them.
In reply to Keith Tanner:
I'm sort of leaning towards this . there doesnt seem to be many hid conversion kits for my truck that aren't pretty spendy
A few ideas:
Rock Auto stock replacements with Silverstar bulbs
Check out ebay, should be a ton of options. I recently picked up a smoked LED tailight and 3rd brake light trio reasonable
