I got a nice clear kit from late model restoration and have had them on for over a year with no problems.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Skip anything on eBay. Go with a quality ford kit or one from 50resto.com

Is there a place where OEM side markers and turn signal housings can be bought? I have a pair of NOS headlight housings, but I need the inner and outer housings.

These are what the previous owner put in my car. They're 3-years-old now and still look like new. Great lighting too. Much brighter than stock.

Those look like what I have. Aiming them is damn near impossible.

Don't know, that was the last owners problem. They really cut a beam of light though. A lot more "focused" than the stock light pattern. I love em.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Well, I can say this.. I bought my car with the smoked lenses already installed, and while they look cool (IMO), form definately follows function with them because night driving SUCKS with those things. I've been told to go to silverstar bulbs, but I may just change the whole setup out..

Just checked today and mine had water in them again. Im considering driiling a small hole in them to see if that helps.

The quality of the ones from 5.0resto were dissapointing to me, the part where the adjusters clip in broke, so i cant really adjust the lights now, and the seal around the lens is shot and letting moisture in already after only 2 summers of easy use.

this is on a fair weather car, only sees rain if i get caught in it, and the car is garaged all the time. The headlights shouldnt be letting moisture in already.

The thing that really pisses me off the most about the headlights is that in capital letters it says AMERICA right on the lens, and then you look at the back of the headlight, and there is a made in china sticker on it.

Try www. performancepartsinc.com for NOS Ford lights. I got mine there a few years ago. They specialize in genuine Ford parts for these cars.
