those are STX lights, trust me.

HD headlights have the amber reflector at the bottom of the headlight.

STX/02-03 KR has essentially the HD headlights minus the reflectors.

Oh. I just figure since they were aftermarket. They didn't have the orange.

How much did you pay for those lights, if I may ask.

Because those are OE lights, not aftermarket. Visteon was the manufacturer for all of Ford's headlights back then.

Oh god please don't cut up Visteon lights. It's like killing a unicorn.

You should've got Lightning heads. The reflector is round. The round projector inside that rectangle head will look retarded IMO
