Ebay

Yeah, for whatever reason those seem to be rare. As you probably know there is one seller selling
them on eBay for nearly a grand. You might have to get some crystal 1-piece ones and tint them yourself. Good luck.

Word of warning:
I "upgraded" my headlights due to the fact mine where so foggy they where nu-restoreable.
so I got a set like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-1997-FO...653a20&vxp=mtr
Mine came with the frosted corner lamps....
The lamps put out a horrible light pattern making night time driving a pain.

Right now I am looking for OEM headlights, though I am keeping the corners.
Just something to keep in mind when you are shopping.

look cool but suck

The smoke headlights for gen 3 are now available on eBay for $98. Should look pretty cool on some of the Rangers on here.

There was a dude that was selling some third gen clear headlights that I imagine could be tented to have similar effect.

But I bought them already

Agree totally with this!

Bought a set of cheap factory looking headlights for my dad 02 excursion. Nice and clear again! But the beam pattern it throws sucks. Can't see anything! The factory ligjts are better. Gonna be pulling them and doing a projector retrofit and probably blacking out the housings or white or tan to match the truck.

I think this generally applies to most modifications done on vehicles. Very smart engineers designed and tested and settled on the final product you bought and it actually performs best 'as is'.

Does anyone know a good source for OEM style head lights?

Recently got some OEM style headlights made by Eagle Eyes. Happy with them. Readily available on multiple sites online.

Futurefd · #13 10-01-2014, 08:24 AM

I have in the past purchased eagle eye brand head lights. Yes they look great!
I think my tail lights are eagle eyes too come to think of it.

I think I am going back to OEM style head lights and keeping my clear corners. Just like yours. Looks nice

Thanks man. Yeah they seem to produce pretty quality stuff at a good price point. Good luck.

Thanks for the warnings guys, ive recently restored my factory headlights and I guess ill keep them. I regularly drive at night so defiantly not in my best interest to hurt how my headlights project. Thanks again guys
