Euro heads have arrived unscathed. Can’t wait to freshen up the front and throw these in along with an ST-Line grille with no ST logo.

You've got me curious about these headlights. You mentioned they're difficult to find, but is there anything preventing you from ordering a set from Europe new?

You have a part number you could share?

I don’t have the PN’s handy and you could absolutely order a new pair…I’d heard about $1500 each plus another couple hundred shipping and any import duties you may or may not have to pay. By difficult to find I mean a mint pair right here in the States.

I was under the understanding they are brighter than the US model headlight.

I’ve heard they’re brighter and I’ve heard they have different reflectors for a better high and low beam pattern? If either one is true I’ll take it but time will tell.

Very nice, so jealous of the way those look with clear markers. The ST-Line grille will just fully debadge right? No other design difference I can tell?
The openings are bigger and it doesn’t have the ST logo. Only the Ford oval and I ordered an oem black emblem for that.

Those headlights look awesome! Those along with the new grill are going to put your front end on a whole new level!

I have a question for you sir. I’m wanting to install a Kicker Key 500.1 using the stock subwoofer wires. Will the fake engine noise be amplified thru the aftermarket amp and subwoofer?

Honestly it’s been so long since I’ve seen anyone ask that question I don’t remember. I wanna say no but I’m not certain.

Basically…the car is 4.5 years old and needs a refresh. It’s getting a new front bumper and grille to go with the headlights with fresh paint on the bumper and hood. I also ordered an oem black oval for the grille. Wheels will be stripped and get fresh powder and new tires and I wanna try the AWE exhaust out to change things up.
Lots of planning the next few months while I’m gone working but she needs some love so she’s gonna get it.
I plan on putting the AWE exhaust on mine soon too. What has you leaning towards that exhaust versus the others? Always value your opinion on this stuff so I am curious.

I like their slip joint connection style and the tip size…but rumor is Thermal is about to offer a larger tip option as well.

I'm not crazy about how short the tips are on the Thermal exhaust. No that it matters but it doesn't look right to me. Personal preference I guess.

I’m not a fan of that either. Luckily that’s easily fixed with aftermarket tips.

I run Hellwig bars on all my trucks. The biggest front they make and their adjustable rears. I’ve always had the best luck with the middle hole.
There’s a middle hole? :sneaky:
