How much are you looking to get for the lights? Also, are they genuine Ford, or an aftermarket light?

they are Ford lights, original to the car, it was out of commission for a week to do them. they don't look aftermarket, the aftermarket ones i've seen are flat black (molded plastic), and if you look the bottom in the marker light are painted and touched up all the way around, and no chrome ring around marker. I think i'm looking $100 strait up or $50 if you want to trade your's. the inner tabs are broke off. it doesn't affect anything, no shaking or anything. do you have a black car?


ALSO: INCLUDED ARE A PAIR OF HEADLIGHTS WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! if ONE burns out, you send it in (w/ $6.95 s&h [it's $1.42 to ship it to them]) and they send you back 2!!!!!!

ebay aftermarkets, flat black, chrome ring, more money

No, I have an Infra Red ZX4, but I detest the chrome lights. I am interested, but it may take some time to rustle up the cash.

How long does it take to pull the lights? I ask because it's off my daily driver. I like the black housing idea for matching dark colored wheels.

i'd say longer then minutes. you gotta drop the sides of the bumper cover, there's a bolt in there. but that means you gotta get in there through the wheel well. the rest is up top. not hard just a bunch of crap to do for headlights. it could be done in no time, with help it goes faster. i didn't even do that hidden bolt, mine are held on with the 2 on top.

painting them properly take longer then a day. baking and cleaning takes a day, lay down a few coats for 2 days to make sure its covered, let dry a bit, then touch up, then a long dry time. all that's based on my schedule though ( i has trouble maker kid...)

these also have the paint protection film on them

you could also get a carbon fiber hood... i think there is an invader CF hood on here for sale :D . then tie it all in with a black stock grill and black ST surround....

The carbon hood would be sweet, but college is expensive. My ZX4 has the SAP package, so the grilles and fog surrounds are black. Lights are all I need to tie the theme together.

Sorry about the lack of communication. With money being tight, Im going to have to pass on the deal. Good luck on the sale though.
