Default I believe I found the right headlights

I think I found the headlights for me but the problem is I found them on ebay and the seller is out of them and I was wondering if anyone here has heard of them and knows the make and possibly a dealer that carries them

I normally hate aftermarket headlights but those are real nice. They keep more of a factory look without getting too euro. I have no idea where to get em though.

Ive been really thinking about that grille for awhile now. I think its cool. Not a lot of people of vertical bar style grille. Those headlights are nice. They dont look too aftermarket. Go get them. Take some pics when its all on.

To me personally, the vertical bar grille is HIDEOUS. If you wanted a Lincoln, you should have bought one.

As for the headlights... I like the looks of them as well but I know that there was a guy on here who purchased them and apparently they are not REAL projectors but just a peice of projector glass mounted in front of the stock reflector. From what he said, they were not terrible but they scattered the light even worse than the stock reflectors.

That is hear-say at best so if you do decide to go with them... Make sure to post up before and after pics with the install to show actual output compared to stock. There have been a number of people "thinking about" these lights but not alot of follow thru.

I have a set on mine I got them when they first came out in 06, I know a few guys had bad luck with them leaking. I have had mine apart 2 times to make it stop. but they look great I have HID's in them too they are SUPER bright!....you can get just the headlights for $140 shipped

I like the appearance of them but can't seem to find them do you know were ?
other then the leaking problem b/4 you put the hid's in how was the lighting?
Lenn I agree don't like the grill either but it was being sold as a package deal I would have sold the grill if I would have got them I like the heads for the same reason urban terrain said they keep the factory look not real sure of the look of other heads that are out there now.speaking of leaking what is it with these after market lights that these manufactures cant make a water proof housing

What the hell do you expect for just under $200 for a set of headlights?

just say no to both. aftermarket chrome is cheap for a reason, poor quality.

They look alright. I dont like chrome either but if it's you go for it. And as stated, these aftermarket headlights do leak. Seal them from the start and you will be fine. I never pulled mine apart. I baked em to soften the glue and re-pressed em together and sealed around extra.
