source for replacement headlights ?
My 01 F250 has the old style hazy headlight lenses and the parking lights keep getting water in therm. Anybody have a source for decent replacements? Are the ones on ebay any good or just chinese junk? Thanks!

I have the same Eagle Eye replacment 05-07 Harley Style lights that DC Special has and I am very happy with them as well. I think that they must be the factory supplier of the lights, or they have bought old production moldings because they match too well to be aftermarkets. They will take a little bit of modifying to your header panel to get them too fit, but they work great.
I bought mine from headlightsdepot on ebay. They are SAE and DOT approved unlike many of the aftermarket lights.

Just some cutting of the plastic from what I understand. I believe there are instructions here somewhere, but here are the ones from Dfuser's site. Dfuser also offers replacement headlights if you want to look there. He is a very good person to deal with.

I just got these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-04...QQcmdZViewItem after I replaced these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-04...QQcmdZViewItem After 4 years on the truck. No leaks just a little bit of yellowing which I wouldn't of noticed if I hadn't replaced the clear corners with new ones.

ebay headlights are a gamble.....mine completely SUCK! I just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, they are projection style. I stripped out the plastic bolts immediately that came with them for headlight adjustment, I had to fab the factory ones into them to make them work. Beware of ebay import junk lights!
but I'd trade em for OEM in a heartbeat! And mine are in the beginning stages of "yellowing" already. Had em on there about a year and a half or so....?

It took me 2 sets or projectors to get a good set of set screws even then they weren't set exactly where I wanted them but I didn't want to risk stripping them over a little adjustment.
The one piece I just got was way easier to set and a far better quality product. They are much brighter then the APC style too
