Lol I love the Hell out of ford for making that proccess like 5 mins for both unlike my 2010 civic witch took like 30

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the stock headlights halogen? Also, my 08 has two long pins that have to be removed before getting to the headlight assembly. Is your 03' like that because I had a hard time getting the pins back in? Also, did you have an issue with aiming the headlights?

I saw the same bulbs at harbor freight, and I am seriously considering replacing my headlights again because I'm not very pleased with the Sylvania SilverStar or the Philips Ultravision.

had to rewire my door poppers today. I took off my sway bar and during that process it snapped the wire for my door poppers and killed them both. Had to get a coat hanger and shit to manually move my window down so i could reach in and get my door open. Then had a friend help rewire them and tuck them under the dash(where they shouldve been).
ANYWAYS also took off my sway bar and since my truck is lowered quite a bit the body roll was not an issue even at highway speeds(65+). I did notice tho it was a little bit more loose in the backend but nothing worth putting the sway bar back on for. Way better ride, smoother and the bumps dont feel like im running over a boulder doing 40mph..lol. i have it undone from the from(not the hinges) so i have it secured up with coat hanger(from trying to get into car) for more support then a zip tie. overall so far im gunna say the sway bar mod is by far the best ive done to the truck next to the throttle mod.

Changed her oil and gave her some sweet window wind guards. woo!

so i noticed that my radius arm is cracked and am wondering what will happen if it snaps will my truck be able to drive with that or no please let me know i will be replacing them when i get paid in a week so i need to know what can happen since it is my daily driver

[motts27]

I wouldn't drive it if it was cracked, I would think the the side it cracked on would be really loose moving back and forth. I'd just wait to replace it.

[FRS 518]

its cracked half way through about 3 inches from the axle assembly but what can happen if it snaps will my truck completely drop

[motts27]

It shouldn't, I'm pretty sure that just holds your axle in one spot, if it breaks, that side would move from front to back. I wouldn't really risk it. On my old ranger, the bushing were bad and I didn't even want to drive it.

Idk if stock are halogen. They most likely are I noticed that the bulbs in mine were sylvanias AMD I was not pleased at all, all I had to do was two braces had to be pulled up and the lamp assembly came loose I have an 2004 though Idk if 03 or 08 are the same. But they shouldnts mess up the aiming to much but I'm a nc inspector so I can adjust mine at my old shop anytime if there to high or low. :P

i got those same bulbs......lol they are halogen hid "equivalents" or imitations or whatever..... they are bright as hell and are a whitish-blue light like a 6000k hid and are pretty damn nice for 7 bucks a piece.

Ive had mine for about a month now

no... they are basically halogen bulbs... just a different color like the silverstars and other brands that make bulbs to look like hids and charge 30 bucks for them..... unlike everywhere else Harbor Freight sells them for what they are worth lol..... they will be aimed the same as the lights you currently have
