Ebay headlights
Ok, so four years ago I bought some of these (not this buyer)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-Fo...xXFYtr&vxp=mtr
And yesterday evening, the wife and I were out to eat and she asked me if I had the headlights on....
Low and behold, they are totally fogged up, like a OEM pair that have never been replaced.
I have been using the high beams in the morning going to work for the last 3 months (silverstar bulbs), so I guess the heat is what got them.
Up until this past week they were fairly clear.
Just thought I would post them up and let folks know how long to expect this type to last.
I purchased a different pair this time, one that looks more OEM.... I'll post up the pics when I get them changed out.... they are "in transit".

Now an XLT in Colorado
Well, I've been wondering about these. I really want a set of black lightning look-alikes. I guess these aren't the ones to get.

I bought these a few years ago and they have held up great, but I've noticed the blinker part must be a different plastic, since it's starting to haze over a bit.
