sorry i havn't posted...family emergency and i havn't gotten on my computer in more than a week. the problem was the housing. the car was made later in the year, and they changed the way the headlights are mounted(or so i'm told by Ford). i got a new housing and put it in. easy swap from the old one, just some tabs to pull out. only problem now is, i have to change the other one b/c now one is brighter than the other!
