Ali_g Member 5 Member For: 11y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 24/07/13 09:12 AM Share Posted 24/07/13 09:12 AM Hi, I have a mk1 2011 xr6 turbo ute.I'm wondering if the new mk2 xr6 projector headlights would be interchangeable into the mk1, at a glance they seem the same shape but I'm wondering if anyone has done this conversion or knows if its possible without having to change to the mk2 front bumper as I believe the mk1 bumper is much nicer. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from ford or another source? I'm guessing they arnt cheap, and also the switch relays to suit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit Mk1s no worries. All that needs to be added is the switching relay as mentioned above. Got mine from a auto electrician. Just wired mine up with HIDs. Very happy with the result.

SecaBoy Donating Members 203 Member For: 15y 9m 6d Posted 26/07/13 09:55 PM Share Posted 26/07/13 09:55 PM is it safe to assume then that the mk2 front bumper would fit on a mk1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
