Head light Swap

I'm wanting to put the 13' head lights on my 2010 GT i found a good deal on a set. I was wondering if anyone has done it yet and are they a direct swap plug an play. Any advice would be great before i pull the trigger..

You can do it. It might take a little splicing, but purchase them ASAP before the deal is gone, then figure it out later. It can be done though.

your bulbs will work in them. the headlights dont come with bulbs? even when you buy a replacement hid headlight assembly from ford they come with new bulbs and a ballasts.

My self and plenty others on other forms have done the swap, I will provide you the website that makes all the required harnesses for either going from halogen h13 headlights to factory 2010-2012 HID and the harness to go to halogen h13 to 2013-2014 hid headlights. There us also a new plug for 2010-2012 factory equipped hid headlight owners to switch to the 2013-2014 headlights without having to cut any wires.. here are all the links to the company..

2010-2012 factory halogen headlights to 2013-2014 headlight harness.

2010-2012 factory halogen headlights to 2010-2012 OEM hid harness

He also sells the headlights and harness as a package starting at $750 and up

If you are a factory hid projector equipped car than a your headlight bulbs (d3s) will fit and so will the ballasts.. the only thing that will need re wired is the turn signal.. the bulb in the 2013-2014 is different than the 2010-2012 hid cars . It is a simple wire swap with the same 3 wires just need to cut and solder a new 7444 bulb harness.

Problem is they are broken tabs, bare units (150-200 for ballasts and bulbs per side) and scratched lenses.. so $150.00 plus 150-200 is now $350 for broken tabs and or damaged lenses . Than double for both sides is now 700.00 for a set.. the links I provided if you contact the guy he does the headlights starting at 750 and they are not damaged ones and he includes the harness.

Great looking car man. Those wheels have a really nice offset and look good with the stance of your car. And the headlights look nice too haha

Sir, I looked at your site linked, and I can't seem to find the package where he sells everything for like 750? So you're saying if I have stock 2012 HIDs already, he has a package where everything is included and will work for a 2013 oem hid package by just plug and play, including the turn signals?

correct.. contact him. He was selling them on another forum for 750.. I bought my 13 headlights from this site from a member and bout the 75.00 plug for the new 13 lights to convert my 11 oem hid pigtail to the new 16 pin. The turn signal harness he also sells.. I just bought new 7440 plugs and soldered my own harness instead of buying a plug n play kit. It saved money. when you buy the harness for either a oem equipped car or a halogen car there are detailed instructions on doing the install.
