Headlight replacement
So I was scraping ice off my headlights the other day, when the bottom of the passenger light sunk in about 3/4 of an inch. Well today I finally took off the turn signal and the strut that holds the bottom of the headlight in place had broken through the socket on the headlight housing.
What would be a good site to get another headlight housing from? I want to stay OEM just to keep the cost low. The other headlight is still pretty clear so I am not worried about them mis-matching...Unless someone can point me to aftermarket replacements that require NO mods whatsoever. I don't like chopping much. To much opportunity to mess something up.
Thanks all!

Yea I saw that too... Plus $15 for shipping...It's not that heavy. Makes we wonder if what he has is OEM or aftermarket. I just hope that I don't end up at the dealer.....Directfordparts.com wants $125. OW.

aftermarket, but dot approved, and the one i got was a direct fit, and looks just like the OEM light.
pay attention to what you order. there are lights for the 150, 250, and 98-01 and 02-04. each are different.
i agree the $15 for shipping and handling is overboard, but it is still better than the $125 from ford.
