Mine are getting soooo cloudy...had them refinished awhile back and now they look terrible.

Driving at night is a pain.

What have you replaced yours with? Can you still get OEM?

OEM is avail still but $400 ish for the pair (available at places like LMR)

To get aftermarket is about 80-100 for the pair and they look about the same.

There was a few threads on this a month back or so you can check out. Many guys have went LED or Projector Headlamps.

Ebay is not a bad route for good quality used OEM and of a decent value. If you get lucky and find a good seller with a nice pair that might be off a wrecked vehicle or someone who had an extra old set when they went to LED or something else.

I bought these : Mustang Black Headlight Kit (99-04) - LMR.com last year and they look amazing but the clearcoat started peeling about 10 months after I bought them. Fortunately, LMR does offer a One Year warranty on their headlights, so I ended up getting a new pair for free with no questions asked. I'm testing them out again to see if they last this time, but I suppose if they start peeling again before a year is up, I'll just have them send me a new set.

On my old 2v GT, I had purchased a set of OEM from Ford for $400, and after about 2 years, they started peeling and cracking. I'm pretty disgusted with headlights on the New Edge's at this point. However, at $130 with a one year warranty, I have found the ones from LMR are the best bet at this point for me.

You'd think at $130 for aftermarket with minor changes, someone could make money charging $150 for direct OEM replacements.

They are sealed although some areas may not appear to be because the sealing area is hidden. A little black silicone along the seams is some cheap insurance though.
