For RTStabler51 and for the rest of 'us' that really have no idea...
I actually bought a pair of replica headlights on ebay, $142 after shipping. from Dr.Autoparts or some shit like that. First off, the reason being, my body shop wanted $175 for ONE headlight. second, i wasnt about to have one old and one new headlight. third, i got both for $33 less than one!!!
now to the point. I would loooove to own this car for more than 10 years, but if even the true OEM, 'FORD' Headlights dont last even that, I'm fine spending way less for ones that will work for now. Even IF they only last 5 years.
just my .02.
dont mean to make anyone upset here.

i have the cheap aftermarket headlights, we found that out while baking them to mod em, when there was 9lbs of glue on them. they look great though, no complaints, 1 year 3 months since i owned it, and who knows how long before that!
Its not about how long they 'last' its about fitment issues! If you like your car looking like shit, or whatever, then hey go for it. But to me, a whole 20-40 bucks on fitment is better than buying crap.brndnbrlw said:

but then i look at my stang :thumbsup:
thats beautiful svt, i want to get one of those for a daily driver.
i had a 99 se sport v6 5spd, loved that car. i did the dehazing to the front lights when i had it, worked like a charm.

I am going to order those headlights from Steve, I just have to find some time to call him with my really busy school/work schedule. I am still in search of a grill, and I'd really like to go used, since it seems the cheapest I've seen (other than on ebay, which is apparantly not the best idea) is $197 (from Steve)!!! I really don't want to spend that much on the grill but if thats what it comes down to, I guess I don't have much of a choice...meh, oh well.
