Default headlights

My headlights are beggining to look yellow and ugly. I found these, they seem real cheap. What is the diffrence between economy and standard headlights besides the price?

i jsut bought myself new headlights from them. very fast shipping, very good to deal with. the economy set comes with reproduction headlights, while the standard set uses ford headlights...i went with the standard set just b/c it's ford with a name on it..

the standard comes with the park lamps. i think that is the difference. cuz at the bottom under the standard headlights it says it comes with parklamps and economy dont.

That's not the difference. The standard kit has ford headlights, the economy kit has reproduction headlights. I got the clear kit (http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS) and it looks bad ***! Get the Economy kit either way though.

Economy means the seals and mounting clips arent included and the headlights are aftermarket.
I bought the $79.95 economy set from 50Resto and put them on yesterday.

I put mine on a few days ago with some of these hyperwhite halogen light bulbs. It made a huge difference in my visibility at night.
