Is it possible to remove the lenses on the Head lights? My one head light is relatively dirty compared to my other head light. I looked all over is this a one piece that needs to be completely replaced? Thanks again.

um...i think 94m5 seperated one by putting it in the oven for 30 sec @ 350...but he said he still had to pry it pritty good.
 
I just bought 2 new ones from 5 star ford for like $390 including shipping. I'll post up some before and after pics for everyone to see the differences.
 
I guess ill buy new ones,oven at 350 for 30 secs thats awesome, I was hopeing for some hidden screws or somethin, lol.
 
Just a little warning....



I CANNOT garunteee that that is how long you need to have them in there. The plastic used for the lenses is VERY sensitive to heat. Too long and you will melt the lens to a milky complection.


Do It by feel, and take your time. They WILL come apart.

thats cool I might try that, I was also thinkin about taking a trip to a junk yard, I mean are cars arent as young as they once were there should be a few there that i could part out. If i were to do this how much do you think ill get wacked for a pair of headlights?
 
75 not bad. I know a guy who restores cars and does body work has his own bussiness and everything. My car needs the drivers side front fendor to be fixed and needs a knew side light. He told me he could buy a wrecked mark for real cheap and totally part out whatever I want on the car. He gets the cars super cheap from organized wrecked car auctions that only people with a special vendors license can go. If this works out, all part what I need and post whatever u guys might need.

I might.... talk to me.

I'm trying to return a set I got on Ebay that are NOT as described. The reflective material is virtually gone in the low beam section. They were supposed to be "like new" with only a small piece/speck of the chrome missing. NOT!
So, assuming that I will not have a hassle getting my money back I can PayPal you $300 plus shipping to Fishers, IN. I should have my negotiation finished by the end of the week.
Agreeable? Do you prefer another form of payment rather than PayPal?

The new headlight housings you have for sale look great!

JC-
Update: The EBay sellers are sending me replacements which, they say, are mint. Guess I'll wait and see. I'll withdraw my offer of $300 for now.
If the replacements are junk, I'll touch base with you again to see if yours are still for sale.

I got my own question...are my headlights in need of replacement?

I always knew about the poor lighting problems with the mark8, but is this bad?

how much of an improvement do ya think id see with new lights.
 
Yeah mine suck. I usually drive with my brights on unless it is a well-lit street. Screw Ford for using these terrible headlights.
