best stock headlight replacements

I've done some searching and can't find what I'm after. I need to replace my headlights and turn signal lights on a 97 F250 and I want stock ones. I see there's a couple places selling stock replacements, my question is who makes the best ones?

Ford makes the best ones but if you're trying to save money, buy the CAPA certified TYC headlight housings. Anything else, you pays your money and takes your chances. Personally I would get the Ford factory OEM housings, some Philips Extreme Vision bulbs and a headlight relay harness, then call it a day. I have the TYC housings but I'm going to replace them next spring with Ford OEM.

I would prefer OEM for sure if they're available. Can anyone recommend a good ford dealer to buy parts online? My nearest dealer is 100 miles away and not helpful at all for parts.

Fordpartsgiant.com or Tasca usually has the best prices online that I've found.
