Anyone here in the US find a set of these that work. I bought some from smokedlighting.com/next-gen speed that where stated as being plug and play and the headlights are but no turn signals or running lights. Their customer service and support are non-existent and I don't recommend them for ANYTHING. No instructions or documentation in the package or online anywhere. I have filed a claim through paypal so hopefully i should get my money back. If anyone in the US has made a set of these work please let me know which ones and where to get them. Thanks.

You might post some pics from all sides and close ups of the connectors. Maybe someone can figure out.

EDIT
OK - I used a different browser and can see the pics online - those may be enough.

They look pretty nice, good upgrade for us XLT owners!

The plug can be rewired to work but unfortunately the lower mount point is different & they do not correctly match the shape of the fender.

I can't see the pics, I've tried three different browsers, firefox, chrome, and safari.

Here's a couple pics from the listing.
The outside lower mount is fastened behind the fender at the fender/valance seam.....notice how that seam is further forward on the rotw rangers. The rotw ranger also uses 2 connectors, that's an easy fix since the main connector is the same (8-pin mx150) but the outside lower mount does not line up. The shape of the fender around the headlight is also slightly different than ours so even if you cut off the outside mount & make a bracket it will not match up to the fender correctly.

How much are these? They look great! If they're affordable and ever become compatible to US Rangers, I'll probably jump on them.

I have been looking at these on eBay. Thanks for the heads up. I would also get a set if they fit US models.

I took some pics with the light in place <please excuse the pollen> . Yes I see where one mounting point does not line up but it does not stop the light from going in place or effect the body work from going back in. The light seems pretty solid without it. I don't see any issues with it following the body lines of the truck. Now....if I could get the rest of the functions of the light < drl, turn signal,etc.> to work I would be a happy camper. Does anyone think that making the changes to forscan? for the lariat lights will work ?

The fit looks good!
It sounds like function could be a mix of wiring mods and FORSCAN.
Anybody have a headlight diagram for ROW and US Ranger headlights?
