Yup, I got mine through a retailer in my town....direct fit and they came with bulbs too. They are made by DEPO, check out my gallery.

What name brand are they? The better knock offs have the lines across the lenses. If you want factory, go to www.karkraft.com

As long as you don't have an early build '97 they are a direct swap. I've had Depo's and OEM's and both worked just fine.

Yeah, I bought the ebay ones too, they fit right in. Just make sure you align the mounting studs so that they are aimed more or less the way the originals were. The look is great. Check out my gallery for pictures.
BTW there is a big thread about this in the Expedition forums, search for it, there are lots of pics and comments as well.

I forgot to mention you need to get the corners too, it just looks goofy with the nice L headlights and the nasty cloudy stock corners. There are also several bulbs that will look chrome or clear when off and flash yellow so you won't have a nasty yellow bulb in that nice clear corner.
