so..? is it true??? !!!

Just found a few on car-part.com complete with ballasts for $300 per side used.
 
I got mine from Car-part shipped for under $600 for everything...
 
I tried Car-part.com but the HIDs were extremely hard to find.

Harder to find were pairs, and, oddly enough, passenger side HIDs.

And even harder yet, were junk yards that new what HIDs were, and that their halogen housings weren't them.

With that said, HIDs are a great addition to the car. Especially when some aftermarket bulb options exist.
 
I lucked out and found a set of HIDs six months ago at a salvage yard of a 96 LSC. I got a hell of a bargain at $75 each. A lot of the salvage yars dont know what the have and what is highly sought after and what is not. Deals like that are out there, they just have to be sniffed out.

so.... how much you selling them for nowthat you got the gen 2?

:shifty: :shifty: :shifty:
 
Isn't by LAW that ANY part that ANY car manufatcure HAS TO CARRY FOR 10 (yes, ten) years AFTER production? :confused:

That would leave it for 2008 for the Gen II's...Any solid facts?
 
I got my LSC HID's on EBAY but only one side at a time. One was from Austria and was a brand new housing for $300 :D

My main problem was that I only had one functioning HID setup. So I went to my friends body shop and he set me up with a HID bulb/ballast setup from a Lexus. Works perfectly and the parts are available off the shelf if I ever need a replacement part now :cool:
 
Not a bad deal...

$1199 for a set of headlights that retailed for over $1500 seems like a pretty good deal considering that these lights are no longer available from Ford. And if you're in the market for a new set of 1st gen HIDs what other options do you have? It's called a sellers market...
 
In truth, unless my next car is a Mustang, Ford has made me absolutely certain to NOT buy another new Ford product. This pattern of part discontinuation is absolutely unexcusable.

And if you think we have it bad, the Taurus owners are apparently in worse shape than us Mark VIII types.

Honda and Toyota, I can walk in an order the most obscure part from any year. Ford, I can't get the friggin' light bulb and other critical parts.

Didn't they also discontinue the cross-over tube too?

Same here. My next is a GM.

Allegedly. But supposedly you can use crossovers from other 4V models with modifications.

How so? I always though the Taurus was one of their best cars; the FWD kept me away from buying a SHO/24V Duratec...
 
yeah ,but for example ,my wifes 97 taurus had foggy headlight lens, i bought 2 brand new headlights with bulbs for $45 each,

why lincoln ,why?

We turn them away at the Used Car lot I help out at.

Car could be in excellent shape but you never know when the trans is gonna wet the bed. Then the car just isn't worth the price of a new or rebuilt trans.
