They fit great everywhere except the bottom/side edge...it looks like it's only on the passenger side & it's not noticable enough for me to give a sht. I'm happy w/ the light output...they need little tweaking. They came with phillips bulbs & included the signal bulbs.

These are the lights found on ebay, seller AM-Autoparts...or you can get them from their online store. Price has recently gone up about $20-25
 
could the slight fitment issues be car to car differences? I remember reading about the morrettes and they fit great on m!keys car, but on bigdaddykanes car they didn't.
 
I'm suprised that you didn't notice mine were like that when I met you Brian. Eagle Eyes always have an edge that sticks out, mine does too atleast. I have no complaints, well, my passenger side wouldn't adjust too well at first but fixed when I put in my HIDs. Downfall of putting in my HIDs was the D/S park/turn signal holder broke a tab. The bulb is loose but doesn't slide out of the housing so it's not really broke.

They are good lights, just a little more delicate than stock :cool:
 
Three words: Hit or miss.

The manufacturing tolerances in Taiwan and China just aren't there. I purchased a set of these not too long ago for a 1989 Mercury Cougar, and noticed two issues right out of the box.

One, the driver's lens was not fully flush with the housing all the way around. Not wanting to force it and break it, I settled for sealing the affected area with clear silicone to keep it from leaking.

Two, while Ford makes do with a one prong retainer and achieves tight, movement-free fitment, the foreigners use double the prongs and the thing rattles like hell after installation. All the prongs in the world don't help if you put the hole that they mount into in the wrong place. A bead of silicone on each of the mounting faces where the retainer on the bolt meets the back of the housing quieted this right up. Now they're aimed and work and look great.

I would have happily ponied up the extra bread for Ford units, but I expect that they're long out of production, as were the ones for my 1994 Taurus SHO.

With the SVT, I ordered the stockers from Tousley Ford and have, of course, been thrilled with their quality.
