OK, these are cool. Come up with a set of headlamps like these for my XLT and I'll be the first in line to buy them.

You can probably just buy a set on eBay right now. Although I'm not positive if the headlight housing on the US Ranger is the same as the global. Guinnea Pigs? Volunteers?

I don't mind being a guinea pig but I am going to have to look into it a little more. Are they plug n' play with the factory harness, will they bolt up, etc. I will do a little research and see what I can come up with..........

Here is a listing I found:

Again the question is, will they fit. I looked up the housing in the service manual and it looks very similar if not the same but it is hard to tell.

You looked up the housing in the service manual for the NA Ranger or for the aftermarket headlamps?

Just keep in mind, the ones on eBay from Thailand and those for sale in Australia are for RHD trucks. The beam pattern is different.

I emailed an Australian company asking if their lights bolted onto the NA Ranger, their response at first was they are RHD headlights. Second response when I reiterated mounting was asking for a picture of "my truck."

I'm not afraid to be a guinea pig, but I don't want to drop a lot of coin on something that won't even bolt up.

For the stock head lamps in the NA Ranger and compared it to the shots of the lamp in the link I provided. The fasteners all seemed to be in the same spot and the housing looked right, however its hard to tell for sure.

A nice copy of the lariat lights from a reputable company would be wonderful. I love the lariat headlights, I just couldn’t stand the gauge cluster, so I went with the XLT. I wish there was a lighting upgrade option, but oh well.

Or we just make the XLT lights better!

They may claim they are DOT compliant, but the bulbs will blind oncoming drivers with a sloppy beam pattern and the fans on the SL1 are really loud. Tried them on my 2016 Focus.
