Headlight Conversion needed on 95 Lincoln Mark Viii

[here2bnvd]

I have a 95 Lincoln Mark Viii that I want to convert the headlights on. Every kit ive looked at is 4 x 6.5. But my measurement is only 3 inches unless i remove a piece of trim from the hood. Even if my measurement is off, how would they bolt on ?

Why dont you just re-chrome your own headlight housings & then go with a $80 HID set up?

I'm not sure what your talking about when you say that the chrome trim is in the way? What kind of lights are you trying to use?

[Hemihed426]

What are you trying to put in there? Do what Turbo said and refurb your housings and shine up your lenses and get an aftermarket HID kit and be done with it.

Don't replace the housings with a different assembly, put NEW BULBS in the current ones. (do the re-chroming or replace them with new assemblies)

This is another thing I need to get around to. I got mine cleaned up, they are better, but I want BETTER.

just do what me and my buddy martin have done, my headlights in my 93 are better then the factory hid's that were in my 98 lsc, no joke.

edit: never mind i cannot put a link in here from another site to show you our thread on this, sorry you'll have to search on your own!

i saw the thread from the other site. good looking lights. hope the trim brite holds up.

[jamies98lsc]

it holds up, the light housings i redid for my first 93 were on the car over a year and still looked like the day i put them back together. the stuff doesnt burn like the original chrome.

Yup, i've been keeping a close eye on mine since dong the refurb - as yet, no condensation and no burned trimbrite! so far.... so good! :)

i went to Advance looking for some trim brite, they didn't have any. i am going to try this on my car.

[93' Blue on blue]

I had to go to 3 different Advance Auto stores before i found the stuff. If you still can't find any, order it online.

i have a pair of factory 96 LSC hid housings, the hid bulbs, and the ballasts for sale if you want to spend more!

I'll give you $150 bux for them! :p

[jamies98lsc]

for 150 i'll sell one of the hid bulbs!!
im selling it all for 600, hid housings, the fatory bulbs, and ballasts. these are factory not after market or restored halogen housings, REAL 96 hid headlights.

[turborich]

I was only kidding! For $600 bux it's still a good deal for all of that.

Could you explain rechroming in detail ? How do I "OPEN" up the lens to paint the inside ? I took out the light and looks like it would be very difficult to remove the lens. Where do I get a HID set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Remove lens by cutting with a dremel type tool. Re chrome housing using trimbrite chromebrite tape. (available online, or from most Advance Auto parts stores) Re seal lens with Goop Automotive sealant. (its a strong silicon type sealant, available at almost all auto and DIY stores)

Ebay has cheap HID kits. (less than 100 bux)

Anyway, that is it 'in a nutshell' Do a web search for more info - its all out there, somewhere!

P.S. Enable your Pms!!! ;)
