Replacing OEM Headlights & grille on '95, best bang for buck?
 

Hey guys, the headlights, grille and the housings around the headlights on my truck are pretty sun beaten. Im looking to buy OEM replacements for all and wanted to know if anyone has purchased any that were good quality? I know LMC has everything but compared to some kits on eBay they seem a little expensive. I dont mind spending more to get better quality. Please do not post about aftermarket custom headlights/grilles; I'm trying to stick with the OEM look and would appreciate those suggestions, Thanks!

I was thinking of something like this, but it seems very inexpensive compared to LMC, I just don't want to put them on then have them look like garbage in a few months.

If you are lloking for OEM then Ford and NPD are the only 2 places.

If you want OE then LMC and NDP also offer them

I ended up using aftermarket headlight capsules, aftermarket chrome headlight bezels, and a used chrome grill from the pick a part yard. Truck is a 92 F150 flareside. I have had great experiences with aftermarket parts, but usually any painted areas on a grill start to flake off after a short while. Thats why I went with an oem grill.

My headlights were past sun faded and yellowed, the chrome on the bezels and the grill were very weathered also. Total cost for it all was around $120.

Thats a sweet truck. I'd personally get OEM Ford headlights, but TYC make decent replacement ones.

I went with
Ford bezels and grill.(think it was 150)Never had any luck with the fitment or the chrome on the aftermarket stuff)
The headlights I got off Ebay. Think they were $50 shipped to my door (for the pair).(I put a bead of clear RTV around the light where the lens meets the housing) Ford wanted $110 per headlight

try a junkyard too you could probably find some pretty decent ones and It will be a lot cheaper than lmc.

You know you could improve night time driving with a nice pair of diamond cut ones, look fairly OEM without being overdone.

I ordered a set of OEM style lights..$17 a pop for the entire lamp housing/bulb..

Came in Keystone boxes...

Advance Auto wanted $50 a side for the same thing....

Headlight Bezels, Grille, and Headlights all together, and shipping were like $100...

And they were shipped within 5 days..

I've did a lot of ordering from them and LOVE their pricing...

I got a Ford grille too. The repop ones I've seen don't fit as well.

I've yet to see any aftermarket replacement headlight have the correct beam pattern. I'd say TYC is good and Keystone is acceptable. There is another brand Vision that suck for fitment, and beam pattern. The light is skewed.

Just a FYI

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacture
OEM parts are what are put on the car from the factory.

OE is made to OEM spec but is of lesser quality and is made to resemble the OEM part.

I've never had any issue with stuff from that site..

Brad-Thanks for the lesson...lol

Haha yes I meant OE, so by the looks of it for the bezels & the grille I should go to Ford and headlights I could go with Keystone? I've had replacement from eBay on my Ranger and the beam was way off. I like the look of the crystal clears but I'd like the truck to look as it did in November of 94 when it was built. I'm gonna put Silverstar's in them, not a fan of HID's.
