Welcome Noobie!
You can either make your own projector fit headlights, which are drop dead gorgeous.
Or you can wait like the rest of the fools for the not so great looking morettes.
Also, you might want to edit your signature. CEG has a rule against vulgarity.
And, post some pics of your car. I'm very interested to see how slammed it is.

your insane, the morettes are beautiful. ITs the primarily reason why I love the post97 contours, because you can do such cool stuff with the headlights, and the morettes are my favy's. Projectors look sweet also though.

Welcome.
I'm not sure why you want aftermarket headlights, they usually don't fit as well as OEM.
For OEM headlights contact Bill Jenkins at Team Ford to get a price. Make sure to tell him that you are a member of the CEG, he'll give you a good price and they'll fit correctly. His number is: 1-800-791-6436
Aftermarket headlights can be found on Ebay. Be forwarned, they usually do not fit very well.

Got both my Headlights on Ebay, and they fit very well, maybe I'm just lucky? That would be a first!

You were lucky! I remember a few people saying that their headlights fit but the majority of the people said that the fitment was terrible.

By aftermarket, I take it he's looking for something that doesn't look stock. "Aftermarket" can be taken two different ways I suppose. Depot makes an "OEM-looking" aftermarket headlight for the Contour. Morette makes an aftermarket light with a completely different look.

Very true Mark.
I was thinking aftermarket headlights, like Depot, when I posted.
Now where is Slammed so he can tell us for sure what he's looking for.

They dont fit right. The outside edges usually stick out past the edge of the car, i.e. dont fit flush.

I got mine (OEM Ford ones, the real ones...) from Steve Tousley. For the 2 headlights, and 5 of the screws, and UPS shipping, it was $214 total.

I dont think he was knocking the morretts, he was just saying everyone is waiting like fools because the chances they are gonna happen are slim...
To original poster...
There are a few things you can do for a dif. appearance of the lights. You can fit HID's in there which are godly, but expensive. You can have parkedcar make you a set of vinyls to give your lights a sleeker look with "eyebrows". You can hightower your lights which consists of taking them apart and painting the interior.
These are a few options for you. For more info, do a search in this forum and you'll find a lot of info on how to do it, and what else (if anything else) is available.
your insane, the morettes are beautiful. ITs the primarily reason why I love the post97 contours, because you can do such cool stuff with the headlights, and the morettes are my favy's. Projectors look sweet also though.
