You have to be careful of the quality you jet from the e-bay lights. They tend to fog because they're not sealed properly. I should know. Here's mine, it has clears w/ amber bulbs







I do like the smoke style stockers as well.

Sadly, iirc, he said they dont make them anymore



OP-

cant beat a set of original style! I bought my best friend a set from LMR for his grad gift. they are repro's, but after a summer and some of winter they still look great with no leaking. plus, the comparison to the old makes the car look a TON better.

Thanks for the pics and the 411, I'm favoring 6 piece clears, but I agree that quality is a concern. The car stays in the garage and is out in mostly fair weather so I should be able to avoid moisture and uv fading. I won't lie, price vs product will make the decision...

Actually, I do.

Problem is, ford would not renew the licence for them to be produced. We tried to get some more a couple years ago for my wife's vert. No luck from there. We managed to find a couple still available on e-bay. Might try there.

Yeah I thought it might be North Coast, they're like 15 minutes from me. I remember when they said they weren't making any more, i didn't get one at the time cause i thought it would look awkward being off center...

Sorry to bring back an old thread but, I cant find what I'm looking for.

For those of you who have aftermarket lights, what is the usable light output, beam, and cut off like on them? I am in need of replacing mine, and I know I'm getting a six piece set. I am looking to gain usable light, and clarity on top of better over all looks. Im tired of barely being able to see at night with the faded stockers.
