Have a 97 f150 with very foggy head lights . Haven't done any major cleaning products only glass cleaner. Are the stock head lights worth anything when they are clear. A friend wanted to sand and clear coat them but I didn't know if that was a good idea.

 

Bump. Any way to clean inside and outside ? Thanks

 

Looking at new headlights (maybe ) little nervous about a short lifespan with after market.97 1997 Ford F150 Headlight Assembly - Body Electrical - Action Crash, Anzo, Replacement, Left, Left - Driver Side, Right, Right - Passenger Side - PartsGeek

No one has changed or cleaned their headlights lol?

 

I replaced mine with the Lightning headlights. Huge improvement.

 

I'm guessing the lightning brand and how much did they cost ?

 

Replaced mine (2001 Screw) a few months ago. Tried the cleaning routine with marginal results. I got mine off Ebay, both headlights and turn signals with bulbs for about $50. Look like original and a huge improvement in lighting.

 

I think mine were about $45 a piece, but I can't remember. They are very well made, and I think Eagle Eyes made them. I would highly recommend them.

 

Actually I think these are what I got:
Here's a picture further back of the whole truck.

 

Yes Lightning style heads and corners are the way to go. IIRC my '97 headlights were always cloudy I think that's just they way they were back then. Make sure you aren't a very early '97 model that won't accept those newer headlamps first.

A lightning 3rd brake light is also a major improvement.

 

Love the lightning lights!! Love the cost. Do they have a pretty long life? I'm sold haha!

 

Whatever yall do, stay away from PARTS GEEK. There isn't enough room on this page for me to explain my BAD experience.

 

Good to know. I figured to stay away from there. I always go to advanced auto , Napa , oriellys or auto zone. Go local return local and warranty local . Headlights I was unsure of with out paying $$$$ at places locally

 

Truck is manufactured march of 1997. So looks like lightning head lights will fit! How long do they last ?

 

I have had good luck with rockauto for that type of stuff. I replaced the headlights in my dd 04 grand prix ( I know, I know, but I drive 90 mi a day to work ) about 3 years ago with the cheaper replacements that they have and they are just now starting to fog again, lasted longer than the factory replacements I bought the first time.
