Nice. Now that you have new ones, when you take out the old ones you can experiment with refurbishing them.
Once the reflectors are gone, the lights are toast for normal people. But the plastic lenses can be polished to like-new condition again in at least half the cases. Probably more like 75% of the time.

I've done it a few times with pretty satisfactory results without even resorting to the power buffer and/or sand paper. But for really bad ones, a good scrape-and-polish works pretty well.

By the way, are the new ones glass? Or are they just in such good shape (being new of course) that the plastic looks like glass?

Post back up when you get a chance to use them to let us know how they work out.

Thanks

Paul

The new ones are plastic, they look like clear glass. I really don't think there's any saving to the old ones, they're 31 years old!

Read the ad carefully, 2nd pic says these are Direct Fit Replacements, in other words, they are aftermarket, probably made in China.

There's no pic of a Ford box, because these are not made by FoMoCo!

Towards the bottom of the page, there's a catagory: Item specifics .. that includes...

Fitment Type: DIRECT REPLACEMENT

Brand: AM AUTOPARTS

Geez Louise!

ND,

I was replying to the comment made just above my post - the ad above my post is for sure a ford part. Was not referring to the OP's ad - sorry for the confusion.

But, these are E7TZ-13007-C Right & E7TZ-13007-D Left .. Headlamp Body & Lens, these are not the complete assemblies.

Pic: 13008 is the complete assembly, 13007 is the lens & body only.

The original post, the first post in the thread, linked this ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Headlights-...d=272119525043
They, are not Ford parts.

The post, above the one ND is replying to, the post that mine was referring to, linked this ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/26395110984...m=263951109840
Those, are OEM parts.

That is quite clear. Rarely are the buckets and bracketry needed to simply replace the clouded headlamp lenses. I have attached a photo of my NOS headlamps for my 8th gen f-series that I procured through a PDC many moons ago, as I did not need the buckets/brackets and adjustors. I work for FMC as well. I work in collision for FMC to make that clear - and I am capable of distinguishing non-OEM parts from OEM - it is part of my job.

Geez Louise!

Actually YES they are OEM lights. If you go to the ORIGINAL eBay ad, you will see the original boxes and ford part numbers.
But the ad has expired and is replaced by something similar(aftermarket)

The problem is, there are TWO completely different ads in this thread.

I read the original ad (post #1). It says in the 2nd pic that the lamps are Direct Fit Replacements, towards the bottom of the ad under item specifics, it says Direct Replacements and the brand is AM Autoparts.

These are aftermarket replacement headlamps, they are not NOS Ford. Another dead bang give-away that they're replacements, is the sellers 10 year warranty.

There's no Ford packaging in the
original ad.

2nd ad: The
E7TZ-13007-C & D are the NOS headlamp lenses and bodies, they are not complete lamps.
