Does anyone have these in their car besides me? They are great and fit perfectly just figured i'd let you guys know cause they are a lil cheaper than the oem and don't have a difference they even have the same mold markings. just a lil money saving suggestion for anyone with hazed lights

Are these different then the 'depo' headlights?

A little more info about where you got them, like price and etc. would be helpful.

I also agree with that statement . I'm hoping to have the money by September to get you to do a set of lights for me.

I have TYC lights on both of my CSVT's... I bought both sets here from work (RockAuto.com) and am pretty happy with them... they look brand new and preform much better than the hazed up lights that both cars came with when I bought them.

We sell them for about 80-90 a piece and there is a 5% discount code listed in almost all of the FAQs on here.

Not To HighJack This Thread, But What Are The Disadvantages Of The Depo Headlights?? I've Been Around Awhile...Even Longer Than My Registration Date, And I Don't Know That I've Heard One Way Or The Other On the Depo Replacements.

They haze much quicker than OEM and the mounting tabs break much easier. I have one Depo assembly on my Sport.

Ok. I'll Keep My Eyes Peeled. However The Mounting Tabs On My Depo Lights Are Much Beefier Than The OEM. I Just Bought Mine This Past October. Could They Have Revised Them Perhaps?

where in the heck do I get either type of lights? I have glazzing lights and they are forming condensation in them. Besides I'd rather buy non-oem parts.

Do they now?
I've been runing depo lights for the past 2+ years with no hazing whatsoever. The problem with the depo lights is their crappy fitment. Mine extend out atleast a quarter of an inch on both sides of the body. I can get some pictures if you want. If I had to do it again, I would get OEM lights from the hookups on forums.

I don't have any gaps at all... We normally sell the Depo lights as well and we classify them as "Economy versions" as they normally are of a cheaper materials than the TYC/Gerena versions.

remember.. if you order, use the code below to save 5% off! This goes for any parts we sell which comes in handy for engine rebuilds alot of the Sealed Power and Fel-Pro items are better than the Motorcraft parts anyways

You Do Know That You Can Slot The Plastic Header Panel And Gain More Adjustment With Your Headlights Don't You?? That's What I Did With Mine. Although I Must Admit That They Fit Pretty Damn Well To Be "Cheapo Depo".

And As Stated A Few Posts Back, The Mounting Tabs On The Depo Units Look Beefier Than My OEM's. The Bottom Mounting Brace On The Depo Units Is Made Of A Thicker Guage Metal As Well.
I'll take some pictures tonight and show you what I mean.

look at the tyc and you will notice a mark like a crosshair(circle with a plus sign)depo wont have that mark but oem or factory ford ones do
