Early 97 f150 headlight source

My 97 f150 was manufactured in 3/96. I would like to replace the original yellowed lens. Can someone give me the correct part numbers and possibly a good source for these. BTW this is my first post here. Great forum.
Thanks,
Wayne

I got mine I eBay several years ago for my 97. If you can even get them from Ford, they will be expensive.

When you refer to "early 97", do you mean the 9th gen truck that was carried over from 1996?

I got mine from certifit last year. They have the correct ones in stock.

It was 100 bucks for the headlights and the side markers.

If it looks like the rest of our trucks just change the header pannel for the 99 andup and get the lighting head lights. You will not regret it thay look awsome.

whateg01, My truck looks like a 97/99.

first today, looked at certifit. All I could find was for vehicles mfd. 7/97 and later

kd4gij, How involved is changing the header panel and how expensive is it?

Thanks for all your suggestions,
Waqyne

They have them.


They gave me the newer style first. I brought them back and the girl re checked the computer. She found the difference and brought them out from the warehouse.


You will have to call or go speak to someone at the warehouse.

first today,
Certifit does have them. They are $100 each for the headlights alone. $$Ouch.
The Headlights for the "normal" 97's are $30 each. The header panel is $40. Does the header panel need to be painted to match the color of my truck? Is there one per truck or one per side?

Thanks again,
Wayne

That is crazy. Mine were a little over a 100 with tax. That was for both headlights and blinkers.
