I guess we are all (except OP) in agreement that the one piece headlights look like S--t then.

You shouldn't care about other peoples opinions on how something looks like 1pc vs 3pc headlights, it's your car. If you need help with install or what kind of lamps are best then that would be something I'm sure we could chime in on.
You should read the reviews on LateModel in regards to the 1pc, I believe some of those lights are not sealed very well and sometimes don't match the lines of the hood and fender as well as 3 pc lights.
My experience with aftermarket headlight lenses...
Aftermarket headlight lens kit - It 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. I 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 adjustment screws are upper inside and lower outside screws. If the headlights were re-assembled properly, they will have a 5/32" hex on the screw. You can use a 1/4" ratchet with a 5/32" socket. The upper screws can be reached with the hood up, while the lower screws may require you to lie on the ground in front of the car and reach them from the bottom.
To align the headlights, find a level spot with a wall 25-30 feet away. Disconnect the driver light and align up the passenger light so that the light pattern is slightly below of the actual centerline of the headlight. This is to illuminate the right hand side of the road. Reconnect the driver light and disconnect the passenger light. The driver light should be aimed so that the light pattern on the wall is inward about 6" and slightly below the centerline of the headlight. This keeps you from blinding the oncoming cars. Disconnecting and reconnecting the headlights helps to show which headlight is shining in what direction. Reproduction headlights may shine in several directions at the same time, making it very difficult to align them if both lights are on at the same time
One Stangnetter recommends putting a fender cover over the headlight that isn't being aligned. I like his idea, it's simpler than disconnecting the lamps.
Just saying that I hope you don't leave. Don't let the attitudes and opinions of a few others stop you from soliciting opinions or advise. FWIW I don't think any response was directed at you personally.
Maybe it's an age thing? (Not a knock at ya). Could it be that the younger crowed diggs em and the older ones dog em?I like the one piece personally. Newb or not I think it's a cleaner look. Just my opinion though. Guess I'm a piece of ****. But I already knew that. I hate you guys. I'm taking my ball and going home!! Lol

Maybe it's an age thing? (Not a knock at ya). Could it be that the younger haven't developed a sense of good taste yet and the older ones are are past the foolishness?
Ha yeah tuche. Nah on the pipe, just at work. I re-read.You're on the pipe again, aren't you?
Re-read those first few replies before he "threw the wobbler", then took his ball and went home. They were both opinionated (without being crass) and informative.....just like one would assume a normal person would want? They were as good a reply as you would find on the internet. If he wanted nothing but praise and to be lied to, to make him feel better, he should have joined a cheer leading squad, or a support group....not signed onto the internet as asked, "any thoughts"?
I swear....I should talk Mike into implementing a personality disorder test prior to joining, just so we can weed out the potential rubber room posters.
Fixed that up for ya ^
