Adjust Your Crown Vic Aftermarket Headlights With This Tool!

[@josephray7750]

I use my VIC for my music endeavors which with the huge trunk completely holds my PA system and all the accessories and my keyboards and guitars fit perfectly in the back seat. I do have magnet signs for the doors so everyone stops thinking I’m a cop and now have received compliments from people everywhere I go. Such a fantastic vehicle. Thanks Mr Random for all your advice and knowledge on maintaining this classic timeless machine.

[@Anon1mous]

Def a must have for any crown vic owner. I've had mine for over 10 years.The only issue is if you adjust them too much back towards the engine, the tool will get stuck. I did mine with the headlights out and would pop them in periodically to check alignment. Took a few tries for sure to make sure you get the hang of how it works going up and down and left and right.

That tool is worth it’s weight in GOLD

[@edwardsteiner8086]

Thank you for all your videos! You have educated and saved me money. The Headlight Adjustment was great, as my 2011 P7B headlights were new but not adjusted. There is a lot of junk aftermarket items, such as universal wiper blades that you need to be a magician to make them work (if they don't break while putting them on). I watch all your videos. Would like to go to a Pantherfest someday after Covid, although I live in California.

This video speaks to me.... because my Vic gives me an awesome view of the ground right in front of it

Extremely helpful. Thank you. Granted I just used a pair of channel lock pliers. But you certainly helped me understand the function. Feels like a brand new car.

[@bobbygragg1103]

Don't go to Greene Ford in Gainesville Ga I was told by the service department I must have bent housing because headlights can not be adjusted

[@Bobcat30010]

The same tool can also be made by attaching a hex head bolt into a ratcheting wrench. The adjusters are a 4mm head and most hex heads are 4mm socket heads. There was a guy here on youtube Panzer Platform that did a video on how to build such a tool for cheap, if these adjusters cannot be found or if they're too pricey.

[@enmljess8926]

Finally I’ll be able to drive at night! Hahaha

[@tiredlawdog]

I loosened mine on the right with absolutely no movement at all in the headlight. I finally took it to the point that it snapped the stud off. If I'm not mistaken that makes the headlight annual a n d void

[@wadepatton2433]

the ball end of the adjuster just snaps into the plastic housing. Mine popped out and I wet it and pushed it back in. It's actually easier to pop the lights out than to go buy a tool.

[@crownslicktoria1115]

I ordered the same tool off Amazon for 15 bucks... glad I did... I bought some headlights from the Ford dealership directly and then adjusted them... works great until it gets stuck on the adjusting Bolt.

I never saw that type of tool in the auto parts, but it is a great tool to align easily the headlights maybe can be ordered by special order.

I have that same tool and it's nearly impossible to get them pointed straight. The threads on the adjusters aren't long enough to pull the assemblys over far enough to point straight.

This part is about 10 or 20$ most likely 20 at ur auto parts stores. I know i had to buy one for my marquis

[@SlikLizrd]

If you're dead-broke, you may use a 5/32nds open-end wrench or socket. The Lisle Tool is the best way to go, however.

[@Locdog003]

Awesome video! Thank you Mr. Random!!

[@rhythmtone]

Great video thanks. What about the one with the same black circular peice below, in line on the outside of the light? That just holds it in place?

[@fortressofsoliddudes4597]

10,000th viewer! Great video, went out and got this tool and - holy crap... Constantly taking the headlamp assembly out to turn the adjusting knobs was clearly not the easy way to do this lol. So yeah, I immediately went out to grab one of these and couldn't be happier. Well, I take that back - do you know of a good place to buy seats for a '99 Grand Marquis? My driver's side front seat is pretty much done for, and I've been told that car seat re-upholstery is not cheap, so I'm guessing my best bet is to just find one for sale but finding one of these is not easy. Recommendations?

[@SJ_MERC]

Does anyone know if i can swap a diff from a mustang gt in to a mercury grand marquis?? Mr random would you know ??

[@SlikLizrd]

If the GT has the solid axle and an 8.8-inch diff, then they will interchange. Your Grand Marquis probably has a 2.73-to-1 ratio, which is just right for the 2-ton beast -- 2000 rpms = 80mph = 24 mpgs. As for the practice of differntial swapping to gain acceloration, -- BAD IDEA -- the cons outweigh the pros, especially if you ain't rich !

[@SJ_MERC]

@@SlikLizrd i don’t want to change my gears i just want to go with a track lock instead of the open diff do you know if that’s possible ?

[@SlikLizrd]

@@SJ_MERC No problem, Miguel -- It's not only possible, it's fairly easy. There's probably a U-Tube video on how to do that install. The 95 MERC still has the open diff, but I installed an Aluminum Diff Cover that has jck-bolts to allow for bearing pre-load, and holds 20 ounces more Royal Purple to keep things cool. Diff Cover was $100 U.S. at Amazon.com. Get a LUBELOCKER gasket to be CERTAIN that there will be NO leaks.

Nice one Mr Random, just want to know which other vehicle (s) headlights can fit into Crown Vic, should one not been able to get one in my country, please i need your feedback, thanks

[@maxiethefoxxie]

Crown Vic Headlights only. The Grand Marquis and Marauder are too different with their headlights. Unless you wanna swap the header panel and grille, then you'll be able to use the other cars headlights.

[@dixonrenyin95ugo]

@@maxiethefoxxie Thanks man

[@SlikLizrd]

It depends on the year models -- headlights for Vics and Marquis of the SAME YEAR are interchangeable.

[@maxiethefoxxie]

@@SlikLizrd a 2006+ marquis headlight will not fit a Vic, as they are smaller. There will be gaps.

Good to know cause I have one facing up a lil to much

[@chrisislas1838]

Cool. I'm definitely getting it. Any luck on getting high beam to actually shoot out further from its regular setting? All it does it make the light get just a hair brighter but ni distance. What LED light are you using anyway? Thanks.

[@maxiethefoxxie]

www.supernovaleds.com/index.php/9007-v4-x.html?fitment=73337 I use these in my 2010. To get the best LEDs while using the stock headlight housings, you want the LED chips to replicate the halogen filaments as closely as possible. If you get ones like the 360 degree ones, ones with BIG LED chips.... Those are not good. They will be bright, but there pattern will be horrible, they will scatter, and will blind other people.

[@chrisislas1838]

Yes I'm certain good stuff out there for the stock housing light, but still pressing my luck on the aftermarket headlight. Looks really cool and regular LED light is not that bad; just sucks for high beam. Thanks and I'll look into it.

[@maxiethefoxxie]

@@chrisislas1838 Ive never really delt with aftermarket headlight housings personally. I know a lot of Panther owners geet stock housings and have them fitted with projector housings and those work really well! Although, they tend to be a bit $$$.

[@frankcedenoiii6313]

I have a '96 Marquis and I have stock replacement LEDs from NAO. You can find them on Amazon. The low beam made my Zenon high beam obsolete - I ended up getting Led high beams. Zero lighting issues now and I can see in the rain

Great information as usual. I need a spare tire and rim for my 2010 and have not had much luck at the salvage yards. The town auto repair shop quoted $200. Do you know a less expensive alternative?

thats expensive man. autozone sells the actual crown vic rim for about $80 then you can have a new tire put on for $50 or a used one for $30ish...youd be looking at around $130-$150 but the best places would be junkyards or craigslist.....at the junkyards you have to check the trunks

Dosent help much when your black out headlights are such shit quality the adjuster pops out of the headlight cause the angle the reflector was built at is so far off u cant get the headlight to go level with the max travel allowed on stock adjustment screws. There such shit quality
