Default Best headlights for decent price?

Im looking for some regular clear headlights to replace the crappy hazey stock ones on a 01 GT. I was going to get the cobra tinted ones but the gf already has a hard time seeing at night so I need to get her some regular clear ones. I just want to make sure I get something of decent quality.

Ford wants $105 a piece from the dealership.

Thanks for any help

I would really like the black Cobra lights (black backing but the lenses are clear so it wont affect light output) but all of em I see have the amber corners which NO ONE likes from what i hear

I have clears in mine and in 3 years of daily driving. I can see some major deterioration.
They day you bolt in your aftermarket clears you will be happy but the Ford ones will last at least 10 years.

Also many cheap aftermarket lights do not have good light output.

OP - Fleabay lights are legit as long as you take the time to make sure theyre sealed before you install them

Thankyou.

Do you know if I can find the Cobra style headlights with the clear lenses that also have clear corners, instead of the amber (like I said before, I would like the backing to be black but the lenses to be clear for best light output)

I haven't found exactly that on ebay yet

not sure if this is in your price range

we get a forum discount from them too so that should help some.
