e’ve all been there. A dark
B-road on a cloudy
December night, you’ve
got your right foot down, trying to
get home in time to catch Eastenders,
and your Ford’s window wipers are
going like the clappers to deal with a
downpour of biblical proportions.
Trouble is, you’re never going to get
to see the latest drama-packed
instalment, because you can only do
30 mph thanks to your stock classic

Ford lights being less effective
at illuminating the road than a
sickly glowworm’s bottom.
We all love our classic Fords,
but it’s fair to say that the
stock lighting on them leaves a
lot to be desired. Luckily,
there’s help at hand in the
form of aftermarket lighting,
and we can’t think of anything
better than bolting a set of
Cibie Oscars. Here’s how.

Feed 2 inches of heat shrink wrap over the end of
the wire attached to the loom, then attach the wire
from the loom, the 5 inches of wire from the
headlamp connection and the new feed wire.

The next step is to attach the activation wire from
the full beam circuit to the relay. To keep it all neat
we decided to drill a hole in the inner wing to run
the wire through and up to the relay with as little of
the wire showing as possible.

With your four holes drilled attach your two
brackets with the bolts provided — make sure
they’re fully tightened as spotlights are heavy
bits of kit.
