hello everyone, new to the fourm. just picked up a nice 05 f 150 4 x 4 but the headlight are real bad. i looked on ebay and i checked with ford,wow what a difference in price. can anybody direct me in the right direction?

thanks

 

Ford OEM for longevity and ebay for cheap. Most ebay sets will need silicone ran around the lense to housing gap to make them moisture proof. Within 2 years or so, you can expect the UV coating to peel as well. But at $60-$70 a set, I am sticking with ebay heads. I do use Detailers Pro headlight UV protectant every time I wash my truck though to help preserve them. I have had no issues with ebay heads if you seal them and treat them from time to time.

 

How bad are your lights? A 3m headlight restore kit, then a coating to put UV protection back on it can make a world of difference. If you are not a detail enthusiast and don't have coatings, a nice sealant every couple months will help after you restore them.

If you don't want to go that route, Summers has went through quite a few sets of headlights and is the guy to listen to!!

 

I personally bit the bullet and bought a set of OEM's after 10yrs and my stock lights looking like trash.


Hopefully will get another 10yrs out of them looking good
