where do i buy cheap driver side headlight that looks like stock(dealer), i already have good left one from dealer.
so basicly i want the other one to look as good as dealer headlight... where do i find them.. searched on ebay they have only aftermarket ones, those look like they have different colored turn signals

did anyone buy headlights for 98+ contour from www.1001headlights.com, did they look like stock or are they different(aftermarket crap)?

I purchased a headlight assembly from that website to replace my passenger side assembly which was damaged in an accident. It looks very similar to the stock unit. I've heard that the non-Ford headlights may show age prematurely (yellowing and hazing). I've only had mine on for less than a year, so I can't say whether that's true or not.

For good Ford oem prices go http://www.signaturelm.com/index.asp and go to parts counter express. Bill Jenkins works at this dealer and gives the CEG the "our price".

If you buy your headlights from somewhere other than the dealer, just make sure that it's made by TYC. They are the closest in the aftermarket to OEM.

EDIT: Not to hijack your thread, but while searching for headlamp assy's, I came across this site and in there they had this to say

*Picture is not actual product sent manufactures sometimes change and sometimes send generic non labeled ballast for legal issues.

under the ballast assy.

Does this seem fishy to anyone?? Does to me.
