Well I went through TMD, the mustang depot. Had to make a quick decision and they were only $99. Cant believe I paid $220 for the smoked ones and then broke one corner. And they wont break up a 6 piece set. Really chaps my Hyde.

Ebay has quite a few. TMD has some on there. They are all decently priced. You can also get the 12 piece kit that has all the seals with it also.

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)

They are overpriced as all hell, but I love my Ultra Clears from 5.0 resto..











Now that I put in the silver bulbs, it no longer looks amber like that when the lights are off...

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...

I got my ultra clears in ebay for $180 shipped, but have you thought about restoring yours? I wet-sanded and polished my stock ones just for the hell of it and they came out looking nearly brand new.
