as i saind i am going to get a set and put them in , thens also come with holders and bulbs, i do know that this company makes most of the OEM lights for the dealers, as far as making them for fomoco i dont know.

I will find out.



I'll just chime in here a bit...

I have been working with Morette from France on test fitting some aftermarket headlights... They've looked at 3 Contours, and every one had the bumper/hood fitted differently.

So pretty much what I'm saying is, if the housings are not an EXACT copy of every dimension of the OEM units, it will be off, especially if the manufacturer molded them to one specific car.

Isn't Depo the only manufacturer making these other than Ford? I know I have heard many stories about the Depo units not fitting.

Not thread-crapping, just letting newer members know of fitment issues that we have seen in the past. I think most prefer to stick with OEM and with Bill J. only a phone call away.

Thank you for thinking of us though.

I know of another Contour owner that was disappointed in the Depot units. Don't buy Depot......

Sorry if I was being a bit of a d**k, but just trying to give some constructive criticism...
