I recently bought a set of ebay black housing, clear lens headlamps for my '94 to replace the horribly oxidized and nearly busted 22 year old factory headlights. Since the new lamps are of the same design as OEM just with clear lenses and black housing I assumed the swap would be pretty straight forward. Wrong.
My truck is a '94 and came with 9004 headlight bulbs but they new lamps take a 9007 which I am assuming the 98+ non-sport trucks take. I know the two bulbs are supposedly the same except for the alignment slots and pinout. I swapped two wires on the pigtail and installed new 9007 bulbs. The high beam functions perfectly now but something seems off still. I am getting a half lit high beam indicator on the dash when the low beam is on and the low beam seems rather dim. Maybe it's my imagination since my daily is a 2015 Mustang GT and has bi-xenon headlights and LED fogs.
Any input?
