If you go with OEM, you'll pay out your, well you'll pay too much. OEM avg's $200 per headlamp assy, unless you have a body shop discount, then it's $150. My dad run's a body shop and he has an aftermarket supplier that is usually way cheaper yet still make's OEM quality stuff. If you can wait a little while, I'll track down that information and talk to them on pricing and the like. Maybe there would be interest in a group buy?
Happy New Year

http://www.headlightwarehouse.com/ $78 a pop. $60 from BAT sounds good, too. And they are probably the same manufacturer.

From a fellow CEG'er who has them i've seen the bat headlights and they aren't exactly what OEM is, there is a difference and you can notice it.
I think it didn't fill in everywhere...not sure

EROCK has the BAT headlamps on his car and you can see that the clear lenses DO NOT line up with the bumper.
The BAT headlamps are about 1/2" - 3/4" short of being flush with the shape of the bumper.
Also, the way the lamps are sealed, are not the greatest.
They use a Black Silicone that looks really gaudy.
There is also a gap between the headlamp and the center oval grill
that is LARGER than the stock headlamps.
I would tell you to scour your local junkyards
and clean up whatever you can find.
Thay way , if you put tinted covers over you lamps,
you wan't tell the difference when you remove the covers.

sorry...haven't been able to get to a computer....the bat lampe are NOT OEM!...you are honestly better off spending the extra money in getting ford oem ones from bill jenkins. the biggest complaint is not the quality (it does suck though) it is the beam pattern, it is way off no matter how you try to set them up. btw, the bat ones are like $120.00 if i remember correctly....
