im pretty sure mine were 110 bucks or 100 bucks, they come with everything exvept the seals, so MAKE SURE you save your old seals, and the old brakcet things but those shouldnt be messed up or anything
EDIT: there from 50resto.com
(instillation took about 1 hour in my garage with bsaic tools, and that was probably too much, some of the bolts were a bitch to get to but no problem for even a 5 year old to instal)

Took about 7 days to get the lenses, 20 minutes per side to install all 3 lenses and forever to try to align them.
I drove around for several days with the driver’s side headlight scanning the upper branches of trees for squirrels, owls and UFO’s. The headlight lens had extra slack between the retaining clip and the screw head which allowed the lens to shift around. Fixed that with some small washers between the screw heads and the bottom of the mounting hole. I would recommend that you find 2 extra adjustment screws per side - they are the ones with the hex ends on the end of the screw where it sticks through the mounting plate. That may help the alignment problems, as the stock setup only allows adjustment with 2 screws, and is hard to adjust in and down at the same time.
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.

While I'm sure that happens a lot of the cheaper repros, it's not always the case. The UC's I went with came with the adjusting plates and seals installed on them, went on straight, and when I went to adjust them one night, I was surprised they were perfectly aimed as is..
They sure as hell weren't cheap though...
