Without major surgury? just curious how much the headlight mounts changed from 97 to 2001?

 

don't know about the headlights but i know if you have an early 97 the corners won't fit. it would suck not to have a matching set.

 

Please help me out! Bump

 

N-E-1?

Well, the lights just came out. Give it a little while. No one knows because no one has tried yet!

------------------
1997 F-150 XL, 4.2L 5spd
Mods: 16x8 Centerline wheels, 285/60/16 Goodyear Eagle GT IIs, Flowmaster, K&N, tint, alarm, billet grille, clear corners, carpet, Kenwood CD w/Infinity speakers, 60/40 seats, and a 5hp "Ford Racing" sticker on the back window.

 

I"m also wondering the same thing. Mine was manufactured in 6/96. When was yours made? Look on the drivers door or door post if you don't know where to look.

------------------
1997 XLT Teal 4.6L Flareside 4x4. Automatic, Reg. cab, tinted windows, bug deflector, Dual exhaust, K&N Generation 2 air filter, BullDog keyless entry/remote start(installed myself), Custom 16" wheels, bedliner, Covercraft tonneau cover, electronic shift on the fly. Going to add headers.

 

Wow! Mine is 2/96! I never looked at it before. I had problem with the clear corners I ordered. So, I knew mine were diffrent. I am also buggin' for the L headlights. I already ordered the tails. I know that will require a little work. I am waiting to see if anyone else can rig up something for the headlights.

My Build date is 06/97 so i guess i won't have the same problem that you guys will have.. I would think that the headlights mount exactly the same but not sure about the corners for the 2000's yet.
Anyone else looked at an older one and compared 1to a newer one even a 2000 f series to see if they are the same? all the clear corners i see are 97 and up so i would think they are the same mounting.

 

I think they changed in 7/97.

 

I ordered the 01L headlights. should get tehm on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes. I ordered the euro corners from procarparts.com to go with them.

Cool let me know how it goes.

 

So did you get them James? Did they work?

 

B'S97150 The answer to your question is................................................ YES! I have a 97 EB Expedition and they fit on just fine. There is a little 1/4 inch gap between the lights and the grill but it is not noticable to the average eye. They look so sweet I do recommend geting the euro clear corners to match, or the 01 L corners. You can get them at http://www.fordpartsonline.com/ talk to Gary he is great.

 

hey 97 ebx. Thanks. Did they just fit the original mounts and just pop in? Did yopu use hte lightning corners? Did those fit too? I would love to see pics!!! Mine is a 6 of 97 build but has torx screws on the corners so maybe the L corners will work..

 

Just a little warning if you get the lightning tail lights. Be carefull of the bolts, the lightning lights use slightly shorter bolts. You may have to get shorter, or trim the bolts. Otherwise you may crack the lights,
