Just what the title says, I'm looking for a place where I can buy just the side reflectors (clear) instead of buying the whole headlight assembly. I searched on here and googled it - no luck. Looked up tascaparts, couldn't find it either.

Any suggestions or links would be awesome.

Here's a picture of what I'm looking for (the one on the table but clear - not smoked):

 

Ford used to sell outer lenses as a service part in the crash parts catalog.

tascaparts.com doesn't let us look in the crash parts catalog.

 

gotcha, thanks for the info.

if anybody know of a place, let me know!

 

Try http://www.fordparts.com/ and enter your VIN. A warning--the site is not smartphone/iPad friendly, best to use a desktop PC.

 

You can also buy the cheapest set of black aftermarket heads and tear them apart and swap lenses. Thats what I done. Might be your only alternative, unless you use aftermarket lights with them already in.

 

call your local dealer and ask the parts guy to look in the crash parts catalog and see if they exist.

They should be a low dollar item so it is just as easy to buy them locally, unless you can get him to divulge the part number then you can look for it online.

The VIN number search method is what is used to bring up the historical B.O.M, which is the factory built configuration of your truck.

That does not give you the Motorcraft parts, for example, Ford may not have the part available using the BOM part number, but the same part exists in Motorcraft and is sitting on the shelf. A good parts guy knows where to find the part in multiple catalogs

Same with "crash parts" which is Fords collision repair parts designation. Different part number for the same part in a different database. Especially when it is part of Ford's Truckload program, where dealers buy things like rear bumpers in bulk, different part number and about a 200 dollar difference in price.

Ford also has a LKQ program now, where they take parts that were rejected on the assembly line and other places, refurb them, and sell them at a discount. They are doing that with wheels, bumper covers, and other parts.

That's the service you get from a local dealer that you are not going to get online. If the local parts guy is going to give you 20 to 25% off list, compared to 40 off list plus shipping and waiting for UPS to show up by buying from Tasca, and he is going to save you 200 bucks by selling you the lowest cost part, it isn't a bad deal to shop around.

 

Hm... fascinating. My one and only thing about the crash catalog from Ford is that would they have clear reflectors instead of amber? That is what I'm looking for.
