Here's a few photoshopped pix of what the CPAddict Aussie mod might look like.  Not your average Foretravel.  The quads would be overkill, so I'll most likely go singles and put an amber marker light bulb in the inner Bronco lens or just leave it inert.  Whaddaya all think?  Woody.

Thinking those look pretty good for a simple retrofit, probably hard to beat.  They are, however, still mounted too low for optimal performance.

It's all good reading, but I just went for the Chrome LED C-BAR DRL Headlight .  Looks good so far, I have not seen them at night.

So the
Chrome *LED C-BAR DRL* Headlight+Amber Corner Signal for 87-91 Bronco/F150/F2...
Is a Halogen headlight with Led daytime running lights. Very pretty. No illumination information. Plan to purchase replacement Halogen lamps to carry with you. Sounds like your happy with their daytime operation, will they be wired to utilize the daytime operation function? Would like to get some night time operation feedback.

I do have LED bulbs.  They are 9004 HB1 LED Headlight 4-Sided Bulbs High&Low Beam 2000W 240000LM 6000K White  You have to buy 2 1157A turn signal light bulbs.  I did have a problem with the plastic ring that holds the 9004 in the headlight assy.  The little fan on the back of the 9004 is too big to use the lock ring.  The headlights came with studs to hold light assy. in MH, I had to unscrew them and use my original screws.  You also have to take an adjustment assy. off the old(2 screws) and install on new headlight assy.  I run with my headlights on, but the new headlights come with the "C-BAR" light wires just hanging loose, you can wire them any way you want.  I connected "C-BAR" with the amber 1157a running lights in the turn signal.  I will get some pics at night soon.  I did keep the old  Halogen  bulbs and can change them out anytime just like changeing any bulb, just unplug.

This is a few pics tonight and about 100' from my MH bay in the barn.  First pic is on dim lights, second is high beam lights(notice the extra light close to the MH and on the ground.  One pic I am outside in front(you can see my shadow) looking at the barn. One shot looking at MH from barn at 100'.

I am sure if I like the new 9004 bulbs.  They have 4 leds, on low beam only 2 light up and they are not across from each other.  The 2 leds that light up on low beam are at 3 oclock and 6 oclock, high beam adds the other 2 leds.  I will have to drive with them.  They have not had any adjustment done.

Pat. i completely understand how difficult it is to show photos of lights with our level of photography. While in the low beam position if viewing the at the lights from several hundred feet do they produce acceptable unblinding light to oncoming traffic. I want to see and well, but do not want oncoming traffic to be blinded and always flashing me to dim my lights with them in dim position. I've been unable to do this with reflectors and add on led bulbs. The Projectors are a completely different story. Picture don't do them justice. Zero direct light to oncoming traffic. Will have too, would like too, do a side by side comparison sometime

Hi Scott,
  Due to other problems, I cannot test on the road yet.  I will test on the road soon and show those pics.

These look great!!!!  I had thought about trying to manufacture a bezel for mouting 5x7's into the stock housing after I did a home-made conversion.  I am thrilled with my performance with 5x7 glass housings, but I suspect DSD's performance trumps these with his projector mods.

Here are some details on my install for those DIYers:

Headlights differences for 2000 U320's

Next upgrade is a relay and dedicated power to relay & headlights to decrease voltage drop through the headlight circuit.
