Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / June 2007F-150 headlight question
A google groups search turned up the below post. (yes, he's replying to Yours Truly.) Does anyone know what year range Daniel is referring to? I'd be interested to see if those part numbers are still good, ASSuming that 1993 falls in the range for which the below advice is applicable. Anyone up on their Mexican trucks? thanks, Nate > Newsgroups: rec.autos.driving > From: Daniel Stern Lighting <dast...@vrx.headlamp.net> > Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 19:30:53 -0400 > Local: Mon, Apr 2 2001 7:30 pm > Subject: E-codes for F150s, was Re: Headlight Torture > Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author > > On Mon, 2 Apr 2001, Souperdoo wrote: >> "Nathan J.

Of course the stock GT units were so bad that turning them off sometimes (in certain weather) was better than having them on. As Daniel said, some ford lamps are so bad that even the knock off is better and IME he was correct.

What, don't they make Euro-spec HID lamp assemblies for F-150s?

If it is any help: >> Right P/N F85Z 1308 AA >> Left P/N F85Z 1308 BA Those are 1998 part numbers. C=1960s D=1970s E=1980s F=1990s Guess the only way to tell is to look at pictures and see what years the grills looked like what. Sadly the trick of googling the part number doesn't turn up anything.

Unfortunately since the year range I'm looking for is apparently 93-96, it's not helpful in the way I was hoping :( nate > On Jun 26, 11:46 pm, tetraethylleadREMOVET...@yahoo.com (Brent P) > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > looking for is apparently 93-96, it's not helpful in the way I was > hoping :( Sometimes the date code at the begining is to the last revision as well. But for headlamps I would expect you'd be looking at an F2 or F3 part number, probably an F6 at the latest.
