F-450 Headlights
Hey everyone. My dad has a 2021 F-450 platinum, and the driver's side headlight cracked. It recently got water damaged and doesn't work anymore so I'm looking to purchase a new one. I was thinking eBay but they all seem to be cracked and have their own issues. I don't need a brand new one but I'd prefer used in perfect condition. Are there any other places I should check before buying directly from Ford for $1,666?
Thanks

Went through a similar deal with my 2017 platinum with LED headlights. All the used ones I could find that didn't have a broken tab or something were in the $900+ range. Fairway Ford on ebay was selling new ones with Ford factory 2 year warranty for $1200. I sprung the extra $300 for a new one with the warranty. There's a core you can get a few dollars back from your old one from Ford. Even though I bought the new one off of ebay my dealer didn't have an issue with crediting it to me.
Be aware that the ballast/control module sits in the bottom of the housings and if water got in it will corrode and take them out too. So there's an extra $200-300 you'll likely have to spend as well.

It's also covered by insurance as comprehensive. Not sure what yours is but for 100.00 this would get fixed.
