Wasn't someone reproducing them? Can't think of who it was.

Do you want oem (NOS or nice used) or reproduction?

For NOS, they can be found for around $150 each. Used will depend on condition.

For reproduction, Daniel Carpenter makes them from the original Ford tooling. Vendors such as NPD and FMR offer them. List around $100 each.

probably repro. Do you have experience with the quality?

Do they have the Ford script on them? if not they aftermarket.

No I do not, but being made from the original Ford tooling, I would expect them to fit. As far as how they are made (glued together), I have heard good and bad since they were first introduced several years ago.

You can tell the difference in the lack of "gray paint" on the housing, use of silver paint on the repros and no stamp for the info numbers, date codes from the OE line parts.

I have a really nice set of lightly used originals. I can send pics or post pics if need be. I also have some headlights that are in good shape just need to be cleaned.
