No Sir, The Retrofit Source is a seller of headlights, foglights and other light components for Morimoto and other manufacturers. But I am also a dealer for Keystone Automotive (over 2,300 brands) and Rough Country

The time to have made a suggestion on it would have been back when I first posted this thread.
I still need a complete bumper, and have been scouring all sources looking for one for cheap.

Heck, after looking around some, I am thinking about replacing both headlight assemblies.
Can get a pair of LED assemblies with harnesses, modules and the resistors built in for lots less than I thought.
I can be like one of those guys that are always blinding me with their misaligned LED lights that they don't dim the high beams on!

To be fair, this is a FORD problem, not a user problem (if you are talking about factory). My F350 with 2000lbs of tongue weight (rated for over 3500lbs) squats so much that my LEDs blind people. Ford should've made the headlights adjustable like the Toyota's, or put better suspension on these trucks so they don't squat so much with only a fraction of their total GVWR. Now it's up to the end user to go an buy timbrens or airbags to level out the truck. I'm not sure why the headlights can't be auto-levelling? Seems pretty easy to make to self adjusting headlights. #end of rant.

I need to replace the aftermarket headlight on my Mazda that has turned yellow and clouded up after just 4 years (I didn't install it).
