well, what are all of them damn extra lights for? no wonder those headlights are so expensive, ford is still paying for all of the extra engineers that decided they should work on it and thow in a bulb here and there

lmfao, ya i hear ya on that one, but they look awsome. I know they have some on ebay just like those with the turns in the headlights, but other than that. I definitly agree with ya.

Actually, If the Mach/SVT HID's are wired properly all the lights will work.

There are four lights in each HID, High/low HID, halogen high beam, small upper outer light for the marker and the larger outer lower light for the turn signal.

That's how mine function.

I don't know why Ford didn't wire them up for full function but they didn't and even the FRPP kit is not wired to use all the bulbs in the HID's.

when you find that out figure out why they didnt put in the upshift buld and enable it in the ZX2, it was already there to do so, so why not

and wasnt there somehting about the LED's not being wired in the window switches or something?

and why couldnt they have brought over the 02 facelift headlights into productions cars in the US, they just look better

You might as well ask why they didn't bring the RS here or the 2nd gen Focus or the Aussie Falcons or Cossie Escorts or the Diesel Foci or the Fiesta RS, blah, blah, blah.........Or why they didn't just make an EAP specific grille with no lights at all so it would complete the Euro look.

It's because Idiots are in charge of making those decisions at Ford.

they didnt have to make a grill like that, they just needed to import it, european grill would really go with the European Appearance Package

What I was reffering to was that they should have made an upper grille that would match the bumper grille but without the lights.

They produced the regular SVT upper grille that matched so why not one for the EAP upper but without lights.

The euro grille does not look bad in combination with the SVT lower but it would be better if they did match.

Saw this grill in person yesterday and it looks great. Looks smooth and OEM and fits snug under the hood with some trick to it. Looks like there was a lot of work put into making it too.
