My headlights are very very foggy looking, and I have been searching, but I don't feel that 100 dollars for one is a very reasonable price.. what do you think?
Any ideas on where I can buy non stock ones for a better or more reasonable price?

$100 for one headlight? Where did you find this, because even getting a good deal, they are more than that. If you think $100 is a lot, check with your local Ford dealer and see how much they want for one headlight...

Serious? I thought that was quite a bit, but I guess I'll have to settle with that :P
But, maybe someone has some old ones that are in decent shape around somewhere?

your best bet is to either sand them and re clear coat them. my headlighst had busted mounts so i baught a new set through bill jenkins they were $236. shipped for the set. well worth it my car looks like its brand new.

100 bucks is pretty cheap. I paid a little over $150 for each of my mystique lights last summer. It was from someone off of ebay. Btw, does anyone know how to keep them from fogging up when their new? I've just been polishing them every so often with Meguiars SCRATCH X.

just wet sand, wax, plastiX, and clear coat if you want. It'll keep that WET clear look.

Don't clearcoat after a fresh application of PlastiX. Bad mistake on my part.

Why would you polish brand new headlights?! 
Protect them with a sealant!
