I bought my headlight pair off americanmuscle, and those on ebay look identical. Even have the small parallel lines running accross the outside plastic.

they are probably depo headlights which are pretty cheap and will probably leak soon, but yes they are the same ones.

Yeah, as yall know some moron backed into my stang and messed up my fender,bumper,hood and passenger side headlight. They are paying $125 for a replacement headlight so I told them to write me a check for that amount and i'll pay $26 outta my pocket to get a new set!...yeah, i'm gonna get some silicone and seal them up good so they won't leak!....seems like a win/win situation to me..

I'm have a used set of these headlights in the for sale section for $75. The drivers side fogs a little but if you are planning on sealing them anyway it may not be a bad deal for you.

you can find new ones for 100 bucks on ebay if you keep an eye out. buy it now with shipping is easily 130 if you need them right away from certain sellers.

And he lives 30 minutes from me so shipping would not be an issue. He could pay half as much for used ones as he could get new ones for.

the outside edge where the lense meets the back housing. Basically the line between the black and clear with silicon!

I used that silicone, a little bit pissed, because it didn't stay clear. If i was you, i'd find some all-weather silicone and if possible in a tube for a calk gun, because my hands hurt like hell after putting that crap all the way around the lights...
Wooot! Thanks man. My headlights came in today and I'm gonna be picking up the stang from the shop in about an hour or so...I can't waint to get home, put some silicon on the headlights and put them on!
