Yah you can come over and look at it...


you cant take close ups of mine seriously.
My Core support is bent on the drivers side, and the hood is lightly bubbled, and has Certi fit fenders.
 
Now you just need to replace every body panel and youll be all set. LOL.

Looks good. Definetely looks better than some of the others Ive seen. Glad it worked out for you.

They worked very well.

There is a little gap between fender and headlight on passenger side, but with my core support all fed up on the drivers side, im not surprised.
I dont have any issues with the headlights them selves though. Very nice, came with High Quality bulbs and verythign for less than $140 shipped to my door.
 
look great but how do we think theyl hold up over time? i read in another post that you gotta be careful with them cause they have a tendency of being ****ty and letting water in and whatnot. im lookin to do this same thing so im curious. so people that dont have body damage, does it fit fine with the grill and hood and everything? i dont want to drop the money if its not worth it.
 
I'll swap those headlights on my car in the near future and take some pix - my car has a straight front end with Ford fenders :laugh:
 
i put a set of depot lights on my bagged car when i was doing my hightowers. ended up leaving them on they fit great:shrug:

my depot headlights fit perfectly as well, they are now on my wifes contour, and fit hers very well as well!
 
I know what what the depot ones are (Parts Depot maybe?)

The ones i ordered, were from Dr Auto Parts on ebay.

They offer them as a pair now, for $108 +20 in shipping.


Mine came with bulbs, but no where in the add does it say bulbs included.
 
meh I paid 150 at the dealer for OEM so why by Egay??? :shrug: To each his own I guess

I doubt that is for a pair.
Steve @ tousley can only do a pair for 200 Shipping (maybe a bit more than 200)


I updated the first post with the link to the ebay company.

Depo headlights fit fine.

However, don't ever plan on hightowering them, its a PITA to do it, the glue is literally like rubber, and it wont peel out of the housings for when you want to put the lens back on.

no that was for one lol. But for the pair they wanted 225. They have a special warehouse full of out of production car parts (e.g. Contour) Got a jack cover for 5$ painted lol :D

I made that mistake with my old SVT which had depo lights in them. The glue was so crazy, I even tried a dremel, so yeah it sucked. OEM all the way.
