Need new headlights

  • Sponsors (?)


Nothing wrong with Ebay at all. I have done 50+ transactions and only had one problem but only lack of communication. If you are skeptical about buying from a person on Ebay don't worry. There are plenty of companies now a days using Ebay and are just like ordering from a magazine. I looked up a couple for you. PS when you buy lights for a Fox don't be afraid to pay a few extra bucks. They all fit but the guys who are a little more expensive truly are selling you a higher quality part with a much better fit. Here are a couple of auction numbers you can copy and paste in. The first one is Blue Oval Industries where I got mine and the fit perfect...

If you are looking for either aftermarket or (some) OEM replacement parts, you need to look at www.50resto.com They carry a full line of restoration parts for our body styles.

There is also www.cjponyparts.com and www.yearone.com

I went through yearone and got a complete set (6 + 2 fogs) of aftermarket lights. They looked fantastic, but did take a couple on/off fittings to get the adjustments right. I've got before and after pictures if you need them.
 
If you bought Genuine Ford headlights, the adjustment will be easy. If you bought reproduction headlights, they will be very difficult to align properly. I bought reproduction units the first time, and my headlights could not be aligned: they would shine up in the trees and across the road. I even had all 3 screws set up as adjustment screws.

The set of headlights I now have say "Ford" on them and they seem to line up properly.
 
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to install new headlights? I replaced the corners with clear and the other 4 pieces although I cleaned them still have a yellowish tint in comparison. If I get new ones how much is involved in switching them out?
If anyone has any other cleaning tips other than the sanding, etc and metal polish I am game.
Thanks.
