    I am trying to get the driving light bars for my 2010 Thunderbird 1600. On the site I looked it says this fits the 2010 Thunderbird 1700. Is there any difference in the 1600 vs the 1700 apart from engine size?

    Agree with @TEZ 217, I'm pretty damn sure the 1700 TBird was literally just a 1600, with the bore kit (that was sold separately) pre-fitted. It probably wouldn't fit on the Storm, with the twin headlights, as I know it doesn't fit on the TBird Commander (also with twin headlights), and it comes pre-fitted on the TBird LT, which otherwise has the 1 headlight.

    Do you currently have a spare switch next to the dipped/main beam lights? And do you currently have only 1 headlight? If yes, then I'd say with relative confidence that you'll be all good.

    Yes I do have a spare switch next to the main/dipped beam light switch. And I have one headlight. My indicator lights are on the fork. Also it doesn't help when the seller was not sure about if it would fit or not. He says it is for a Thundebird 1700.
    I also have a windshield.

    Whilst the standard 1700 is the same as the 1600 parts from the LT or Commander may be different...the frame is stretched a little on these .
