Need new headlights
My lights are looking pretty bad and I'm ready to get a new set. Has anyone had any experience with either of these:

or have any recommendations on what I should I get or where I should get them?

i bought mine off of EBAY. I upgraded to the 02-04 clear type. If u do it, remember to change the parking and turn signal bulbs to amber. My box said Eagle Eyes brand although the auction did not say that. They went on easy and made a dramatic clean up on the front end. Light output is much better even with stock bulbs. Took me awhile to get them aligned where I wanted them.

Got them in today and went straight outside after eating to put them on. 
I'll get pictures of them (and new F-250 grill) soon.
MUCH brighter than those yellowed, dim stock headlights.
Quality was pretty good. Came with adapter harness, headlights, turn signal bulbs, and marker bulbs. Did not come with any instructions or hardware to mount them. You have to provide your own screws to mount the top of the lights. The bottom of the lights use the old turn signal screws and mounting point.
The housing that the turn signals were in don't fit in the Excursions wire harness so I just swapped the bulb holders out.
Lots of trimming of the header but it wasn't that big of a deal. Both lights and grill took me about 2 hours. The second one went together in a fraction of the time of the first.
Quick drive revealed much brighter light with a nice cut-off pattern. Really dressed up the old lady too!
