Not what kind of car are they for but why would someone want these headlights instead of the regular Mondeo ones? Are the regular Mondeo headlights like the Contour ones? A clear lense. These ones don't have a clear lense.

If you look a little closer you will find two good clues that this is for a Mondeo. The seller is from the UK and the picture of the hind end of his car has tail lights that don't resemble anything sold here. Yes, it is a Mondeo. I saw several of these when I traveled to the Holy Land two years ago.

These ones don't have a clear lense. those look like regular mondeo lamps. The european lenses are not clear because they are e-code, and the fluting on the glass is the further correct the beam.

Did anyone notice that they were "continental" headlights. That means that they are for Mondeos from continental Europe where they drive on the right side of the road instead of the UK where they drive on the wrong side of the road. Continental lights "dip" to the right and UK lights "dip" to the left.

Oh, that's what he meant by that. I was wondering what that meant.

Those headlights are cool. Too bad they don't fit the Contour.
