Been driving it. I was getting some random ABS light on the dash for some reason. Changed the rear ABS sensor and went with a new front master cylinder brake switch/cruise control switch.. I guess there was a recall for this. Came with a new harness as well. Installed both and no more ABS light on the dash. Happy those fixed it and it was not expensive.

Hey Nigel,
How the projectors going ?
That ABS Harness, I had mine changed out by Ford over six years ago, something about causing a fire if you used the brakes too much... how do you use the brakes too much; what do you do ride your foot on the pedal causing the system to actuate and heat up the harness !
I went in to have the harness replaced and was told they didn't have any in stock so they disconnected the ABS... !
Projector headlights !
I will post here too about the Projector Headlight Retrofit you did... way back when, "May 2012" !
I figure I will get better coverage if I post here too !
Copied from the other Ranger Forum... in reference to Projector headlight Retrofit... you used the same projectors I am thinking on !
"NewShockerGuy,
OK OOOLLLDDDD Post, May 2012 last post. I had to ask some questions.
Nice work !
You didn't mention you had done a projector retro to a Ranger before !
Can you fill in the blanks for an old guy... or maybe you can't remember ?
How did you decide how much to cut out of the housings ?
How did you decide where to put the bolt holes for mounting the Projectors ?
Etc., etc., etc... !
Did you d a write up ?
Thanks for any info on this, I was going to order through The Retrofit Source, but I am not sure i want or even can do the install properly and i don't want to screw it up !

Next the truck above, looks like a newer version of the one you did the projectors on, is it the same one ?
As I asked in the copied post, any thing you want to spill about setting up the Projectors in the housings ?
I didn't order my projectors yet, I know what I want, the D2S, 4.0, the Switchback Halos, Apollo 3.0 Shrouds, 35 Watt Drivers... 9007 Harness; sound good but the idea of cutting the new housings and mounting the Projectors using the bolt holes is holding me back. It's that or pay $700 to get them done, which would bring the cost of new retrofitted Projector headlights to... drum roll pleas... $1050.00... !
I keep telling myself it is the cost of wanting projector headlights but I still can't press the buy button.
Again thanks for any help or not !
Ltr
p.s. do you have any additional pictures of your Retrofit Projector Install ?
