OEM Ford or prepare for one or both intermittently fogging.
You can always get silica gel packs and put them inside the headlights to absorb moisture. I had condensation issues when retrofitting headlights. Once I started using silica packs, no more foggy headlights.
It s just time for new ones.... the old ones are... old ;) ... marked up n all.... just a little makeup, pritty up the front a little ;) lol
OEM is by far the best choice
I went to Ford dealer and they don t make them anymore .... lookin at Aftermarket, black one ..?
I sold a new / never used set in the fall, they are out there but expect to pay $$ for em.
I believe LMR still sells new OEM ford unitsQuote:

Can also do retrofits/painting when you're in there.Quote:

Ya, those lenses are so fat away, in good condition, wish i could see them easier than where they are :(
Oddly enough, last couple or three seasons we've made a bunch of hikes to Windsor for used parts.
I mean when the motors are built here you gotta imagine a lot of choose to support local.
With so many parts hard to find for a variety of different reasons, gotta do what you gotta do when the right stuff pops up. We've made single part trips that far for a Modular oil filter adapter then again a few weeks later to pick up one tire. Selling used parts, Ross is constantly badgered to meet peeps half way. Yup gonna jump in the truck n drive an hour to sell a $45 part to someone that will either be late or not show up at all, hard pass thanks. Of the ones that make a firm time to pick stuff up, bet it's not much if any over 30% that arrive on time or show at all.
If people want me to meet up, I will only do it (depending on how far) if they cover my gas and time and send a non-refundable deposit which will cover the first part if they are a no show. If people will agree to this they are usually a serious buyer, if they won't, the sale becomes pick up or ship at the buyers expense.Quote:

Ask the guy if he'd meet in East Windsor and I can pick them up for you and ship them. If you want.
Naw, thx anyway... I ll prob get new ones , decent aftermarket ... Tryin to spruce her up a little.. Wanna paint her but $$$ is often not there :(
may i suggest SW Lights for aftermarket.Yes they are pricy but their designs are forward thinking plus the hardware they use are top notch.Quote:

Talked to a couple people who had issues with a set of there's. This was back in 2020, I was looking to spend $1500 with them and after seeing a few negative posts on the FB groups decided to inquire more. Found a number of a folks who basically confirmed that they had condensation/leak issues with there's and got little in the way of customer service. It's what prompted me to attempt to make my own.Quote:
