I know, I should've have gotten El Cheapo headlights from Ebay or Amazon or somewhere. Got them about year or year and a half ago. They starting to peel. Bizarre. Also, the way those little adjusting screws work was just terrible, cheap plastic. And I hit a shopping cart and the left one now is completely loose. I think I broke a screw somewhere.

So time to bite the bullet and get a new pair. Willing to pay something decent that I can add good halogen bulbs on it. (yes, I just read the new thread on halogens!! Thanks!)

Anyone got recommendations?

It's either OEM and pay $$$ or the ones from ebay/amazon there's no in between.

I forgot I have an LMC Truck catalog. I looked in there and it costs $160 or so for the pair. I'm guessing those will be OEM?

If you're looking for other options, parts geek has better deals than 160 a pair. Not sure what their rep is on this forum, but I used them for some tail lights on a truck a while back and they were very well priced and looked just like the oem.

Thanks! I totally forgot about partsgeek. Haven't ordered from them in a while. So went today and saw some Capa certified OE ones and got a pair.

I'll put those on and then eventually, I saw a thread about Halogens and replace the bulbs.

I had a bad experience myself on amazon. While trying to install them broke the mounting brackets on both had to scrap them, at least got new bulbs. So I am NOOB to the "capa certified", and "partsgeek.com". After checking them out, the ones I'm looking at are about 70 for the pair. That's what I paid on Amazon. I am wanting new shinny Lights again but Ford Parts can keep there's. Thanks for the info I will consider them next time.

Yep, same thing. I think I got ebay or Amazon. But I was desperate at the time and was one of the first things I had to put on. I couldn't not see at night. It did it's job. I actually ordered mine from RockAuto (certified OEM) cause Partsgeek wouldn't send to my work. They require to send to billing address.

anyone on here have any word on replacing the headlights with LED? i want to get whole new fixtures not just the bulbs. the lens on mine are so clouded even a bright bulb wont help.
also, i hear on another forum somehting about adding led bulbs without resisters will burn up the truck? any word on that? i bought led backup light bulbs(i like my tail lights so i just wanted to replace the bubls there) but now im scared to use them.
thanks guys

I ordered replacement tail light lens from 'partsgeek'. Good quality, fast shipping and good prices I will use them in the future if I need something my local auto parts store don't have.

I've been using LED's on my backups without any problems for a few months now. They really make a difference too!
