Default Interesting trip to the dealership

Well first off i went to grab a light to replace the blown on on my headlight switch. Took them forever to find the part and the finally found the same bulb on a ranger. The total cost would have been over $15 for this tiny bulb... So i passed, anyone know another option? im gonna head by radio shack and see if i can find the bulb and reuse the plastic housing even though its burnt a bit.


Also i saw this Sherrod 2010 stang. Ive seen the 05-09 version they have and this one beats it for sure. It was priced at like 44k with that package. Interesting how the handles the rear end. The side skirts were slanted and look really funny in person. The fender vents look like crap but the front end is sick! Complete with shaker hood too!

pics are from iphone but i tried to enhance them a little with photoshop...


what size rims do these look like to you guys??

I think it looks pretty good... if its just an appearance package not worth it IMO... about the light bulb check out an auto parts store and ask... not sure if Radio Shack will carry those but they might.

Smaller version. It does the job but isn't as bright at the original.

The dealership I went to didn't even have any listed. Told me I'd have to buy the entire switch if I wanted a new bulb.

well now that you know it comes from a ranger go to the auto parts store and save $10 and the rims look like 17 or 18

To clear the brake caliper by that much, those wheels must be 20s. Ugly wheels, but the front end looks mean as hell.

The RS bulb is not an exact replacement but WILL work. Most Ford dealerships have told people that they don't stock the bulb and they have to buy the entire switch.

Except for the shaker that Sherod is fuggly.
That fender vent is a nono. Yikes!

As far as bulbs, go to a bone yard and get a handful of those from instrument clusters...
