What’s up with the sealed-beam headlights? I really like that look. My ‘91 XL has the bare-bones reflector lamps and I was going to upgrade to the chrome-edged ones from an XLT or Lariat, but I really like the ones on your truck.

When they were making these trucks, Ford in Australia didn’t like the headlights, so all of them made for Australia had these 5x7 halogen lights.

Interesting. Maybe I’ll try to source those for my truck, though I would imagine they’re not easy to find (or cheap).

OBS solutions has a conversion kit, but it’s expensive as shit! Worth it in my opinion though!
