What is the XR headlight mounting frame called?

ronwest · 19-07-2009, 12:22 AM

I've started the how-to for aftermarket headlights on an XR but haven't a clue (and can't find) what the frame that holds the adjusters/headlights is called.

Anyone know the Ford name for it?

Ok, no luck with that.

There used to be (still is?) a parts reference on the forum. I can't find it either.

Can someone point me to it?

Yeah cheers mate.

The thing gets mentioned around 1800 times (slight exaggeration) so I was hoping it was called "thing" or "alf" or something short, lol.

Is the parts database gone?

HLMF sounds good

some of the data stuff is still in limbo from the Crash last week, it may have not be re installed as yet

Yes, I'd already thought of HLMF.... it has a certain ring to it

Thanks bodes... couldn't see the forest for the trees...

Sorry guys... obviously didn't happen before our trip away. Came close but a couple of the pics were mis-named and I ran out of time.

I can report that the 150W sealed beam inserts are unbelievable. At times a bit too good as they drowned out oncoming lights approaching over a crest.

I'll get the how-to up in the next few days.

Thanks for linking JC.

I must admit that I put the aftermarket xr lights "how to" in the "later" basket. Main prob was that I took so many pics along the way that sorting and resizing is a mammoth task.

The lights are definitely a success. Been on over 12 months with no probs.

In order to at least share the knowledge I'll do a simplified version of the how-to in the next week and can just answer any queries from there.
