Won some TYC-brand headlights from "auto-motive-parts" on Ebay. Paid $81.95 for the LH light and $93.95 for the RH light, $18.00 shippping, $1.50 insurance, a total of $195.40. They arrived today. I never realized how big headlights were until I saw them not on the front of a car, and in my house. Anyway, these lights *look* like really good quality, they include Philips high and low beam bulbs but not the turn signal bulbs. Here's some pics:   I can tell already these are really gonna help restore the appearance of my 98 'Tour. Of course the big question is how well they will fit, well hopefully I'll get them on tomorrow and report back.

Definitly, I would be intersted in seeing pictures of the side. My ebay special headlights hang off the side of the car a bit.. its not too bad but annoying as hell considering they are not supposed to be that way.

They fit better than Depot, as I've had both.

Yep, I put them on this morning and they fit 95% as good as stock. I'll post pics tonight. I'm a happy camper with shiny headlights.

TYC makes pretty decent aftermarket headlights, so they should fit good. I deal with these all the time ( I work in parts at a body shop). Depot parts are just junk! Glad to see you like them.

I don't live in Houston and I don't drive a Contour anymore. Maybe I should change my name.

So I have recently had one of these put in my car as a result to an accident. Right now I have it along side a slightly cloudy original. The "light band" or whatever you would like to call it sucks in my opinion. The "hot spot" its not so hot and its been a pain in the neck to get mine aimed a little further out how I like it. Let just say the body shop is taking this back to be replaced with an original Ford part. Hope this help.
Please note I have the Philips bulbs in the orginal and a Silverstar in the other.
