Just about any aftermarket lens will work and last as long as your '08. It's just a housing and most are made in China anyway. You could step up and go to some halogen units for better night vision too if you wish. These people seem to sell a lot of light assemblies.

I looked at what seemed t be hundreds of aftermarket headlights when I bought my 16 a few months ago. I couldn't find any that I was actually in love with. I ended up putting LEDs in the factory units. WOW, they are bright and the switchback turn signals are pretty cool.

DEPO headlight units are generally pretty good for aftermarket. Check the prices against a Ford factory replacement.

Yes. After looking at lower quality assemblies, I've decided to just re-bulb what I have. Thanks.

The kits to restore the lenses work pretty well too. I have done several and it really makes a difference for 20 bucks and a little elbow grease.
