How do I know what my vehicle is, Im looking into getting headlight wig wags and supposidly you need to know what it is to determine what you need for the wig wag setup and am totally lost as to how id know what my truck is. Also for those that have or have had wig wags on the vehicle, what do you think is the best thing i should go for and where should I get it ? I drive a 99 Ford Explorer XT so if that helps any idk, also id like to know what EXACTLY id need for the wig wags to work and if known a close estimate as to what it would probally cost me for it all. I would also like to know if anyone from the State of PA knows if wig wags are legal or not. Im a blue lighter and the wig wags will be a secondary lighting for my vehicle. Thanks again

Didn't we just go over this in another post from you a few days ago?

If you want to buy an inexpensive unit, post in the \"wanted\" section on this site. You might also consider E-Bay, I purchased 2 used Sound-Off units for $7.98 each a few weeks ago.
