Headlamp ... need help

[brasil]

Both of my headlamps...are CRAP. The former owner changed the OEM headlamps for a set of unknown replacement stuff. And geuss what.. when it is going to rain.. they get foggy inside. treid to dry them with a hairblower.. doesn´t work. pulled them ..and broke one of the holders .
Long story short... Looked at RA and found 3 different manufacturers DEPO. TYC. and "various manufacturers" DEPO is the cheapest.. then comes TYC and the most expensive one is " various manufacturers" ( but they say that they don´t know ..which brand they will pick in the warehouse -looks like a lottery )

So what would you buy.. Depo , TYC or VM ?

Thank you for any good advise / review

Hast du das Standlicht mit drin? Bei mir ist das eingeklebt, somit dicht, aber wenn ich das tauschen muss wird es lustig.

..@ GriffiX. Yes the "parking light " was integrated by a real fool.. he drilled a hole from the TOP of the headlight assy... so whenever a little water comes into the game.. FOG ! inside the headlamps.
Also the quality of the aftermarket headlamps in my Mustang is more than worse... looks like they bought the cheapest stuff they could find.

Probably your car had HID from factory and had to be changed?
Maybe take a look at the customer reviews at americanmuscle?

..No HID from the factory. a search in the WWW was not realy helpful. Some say TYC are good...while DEPO is not.. and some say that DEPO ist great ..while TYC is not .
This is the reason for my question here...

I replaced mine several years ago, and they are still good. Paid $82 for the pair. I believe I purchased them from Prime Auto Parts on Amazon. I also purchased a pair for my wife's Cadillac. I've purchased TYC parts and have not experienced any problems.

..so you went with TYC...in both cases. Good to know. Thank you for your review

I have used TYC successfully in the past. A quick look reveals the Mustang TYC headlights are CAPA certified which is the approximate equivalent of OEM as far as aftermarket parts are concerned.

I bought a set of TYC from Rockauto to retrofit a set of headlights and let me tell you…the quality was great compared to the eBay dna motoring ones that got done. TYC has metal reflector bowls, metal adjuster screws, and permaseal for sealant. While the dna motoring had butyl which assists with removing the lense, the adjusters were garbage and one had to be replaced before even installing them. (My set was built by a company so I’ve had zero issues with leakage or moisture so far). Morimoto 2 strokes in TYC housings and you should be good to go

Thank you Shelby Steve.. thank you Lou

Your reviews helped me a lot to make a decision .. if TYC is ok for so many buyers..they will be o.k. for me too

FordPartsGiant and LMR have OEM left and right ones for sale.

Changed my mind..because of DE_Marcus. ordered the OEM Headlight assemblies from FordPartsGiant. Also the two motor mounts.. Tranny mount is currently out of stock ..unfortunately.
