50resto headlight kits
Which headlight kit would you guysget? I'm stuck between the Economy clear kit and the Deluxe clear kit. The only difference between the two is that the deluxe kit comes with original ford headlights, the economy kit comes with reproductions. I'd really hate for the repro's to start leaking within a few months, but they're like 50 dollars cheaper. I'm tired of barely any light coming out of the passenger side because it has soo much condensation and yellowing in it and on it. Help me out guys!

RE: 50resto headlight kits
Just purchased the deluxe headlights myself. I can tell that I did call to get information regarding both kits. The economy kits are aftermarket reproduction. The deluxe kits are not Ford OEM headlights. Rather an aftermarket company bought the original ford tooling and is making the headlights themselves, so they cannot be called OEM. The deluxe does come with a 1 year warranty as well as new headlight panels and gaskets. I know the economy doesn't come with the extras and I don't think they have the warranty, though a quick phone call to 50resto could answer that. Good luck.
And actually your link isn't to the deluxe kit but rather the standard kit, which means it doesn't come with the bracket and gasket. Here is the link to the deluxe kit:

I got headlights for my 94 form 50resto. Just stock appearing ones. New ones will really freashen up the front end.
Your stock headlights could be improved. Polishing compound, about 10 mines per lights will make a big difference as far as the yellowing goes. For the moisture: drill two small holes in the lens.a bottom corner, and a top corner opposite each other. After a few days of driving/sunlight they should dry out, then dab super glue in the top hole to seal it, and leave to bottom one open. New ones will look better, but until then you can clean the old ones up.

I don't drive at night too often so I'm not too worried about it. I've tried cleaning them up and polishing them and they got better but they're still not the greatest. Looks like I'm be snagging up the kit that comes with the new gaskets and such. What kind of lights do they come with?
