Then install both your headlights.. All the light wiring is the same so it just plugs in, The Raider lights also have the builtin parker globe so that plugs in as per the standard ones do..
Now its time for the grill... If your doing this on an Aussie Ford Courier then you just have to unscrew your inserts from the light surrounds, They will then look the same as the factory Raider ones!! If your using or converting to a Mazda grill then you have to cut the grill just inside of the molded lines of the outter shape where the HL's go.. The Raider lights are the exact shape of the outter shape on the grill so you dont have to hack into the grill like you do when doing the Ranger head lights.. so it looks a little more factory..
Then mount your grill and blinkers... and thats it !!! very simple...
Finished product...
If you have any questions just ask !!
Cheers
P.S. Let me know what you think !!
Aussie Ford Raider headlight conversion..

I thought I'd post up a quick tech write up on how to do an Aussie Ford Raider headlight conversion...
It's very simple, Basically bolt in bar the Mazda grill mod and is completely bolt in if your using a Ford Courier grill and light surrounds...
Firstly remove your grill, headlights and all of the headlight mounting hardware...
Then install the 6 (3 each side) Raider HL mounts, all 6 square holes are there from the factory...
Then install both your headlights.. All the light wiring is the same so it just plugs in, The Raider lights also have the builtin parker globe so that plugs in as per the standard ones do..

LOL... Thanks man..
Yeah, there not that hard to find here but there a little pricey at $100au each from wreckin yards !!
But if you look hard enough you can find them for a much better price privately... I scored these, both front 4x4 guards and also both 4x4 front bar end caps for $150au + delivery...
I also scored the whole roof off a Raider with the factory sunroof in it for $50 + delivery !! so yeah, theres a little insight to a mod I also have planned...
