Replacement Headlights?

[Ray Davis]

My '92 has what appears to be original issue headlights. Is there a retrofit kit available to use newer bulbs? Are the originals standardly available in a regular autopart store, or ???

I think they are a Ford truck headlight. (I'm not kidding).

I cannot remember where I heard that so if anybody else knows for sure they may post. Otherwise it is worth a visit with your bus to the local Ford dealer.

Ray, they are availible at Wat-mart also, that is the nice thing about the 12v headlight system that was used. they are around 5-7 dollors each. Keep in mind that when one goes the other side goes. if you want I can get the numbers, I have spares in the bay. I think 4651 sounds right for one and 4650? for the other.

Dale, I'd love to have the numbers if you can locate them.

So, am I to assume that no-one is retrofitting these with newer style (halogen) bulbs instead?

Does anyone know exactly what model & year of a Ford the headlights are from? There's a chance you could retrofit Xenon HID headlights, which would be at least twice as bright as halogen and last a lot longer (bu they're not cheap).

That might be a question for Prevost. The folks in the parts departments recently have been pretty good about sharing source information.
