LIGHTS - HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT - HALOGEN VS. INCANDESCENT


FORD 1982-83 ALL VEHICLES

LINCOLN-MERCURY 1982-83 ALL VEHICLES

Over the last several years, Ford Motor Company has been installing halogen headlamp bulbs in its new vehicles. Halogen lamps provide an improved product feature since they provide more brightness and consume less power than incandescent lamps. An incandescent lamp of the same size and shape can be used to replace a halogen lamp on non-warrantable services if the customer so desires. However, the bulb will be less bright and appear more yellow in color than a halogen lamp.
