Need Quality inexpensive Headlight Replacement

Has anyone found an inexpensive quality headlight replacement for the 07 F150? Yes I realize quality and inexpensive should never go together however I don't want to shell out 200 and something dollars when I really only need one headlight but I'm not against getting a matching set l. Between the wife having an emergency surgery in this truck meeting a lot of stuff replace needless to say my bank account is getting rather tapped. Any suggestions or companies to stay away from ?

Thanks

Are you just looking for a halogen replacement bulb, or trying to go hid or something along those lines?

Looking for the headlight assembly. I might put HIDs in them later but my pass side is crazing, has moisture inside and turning yellow.

Your best bet would be a used OE one from eBay. I've heard a lot that the aftermarket ones are junk.

I got a set of stock oem headlights out of my 2008. I swapped them out with the Harley headlights. Perfect condition.

$200

eBay has them for 75-80$ free shipping. I'm getting ready to buy a set. Mine are foggy and beyond repair.

Mine are the stock factory ones. Tasca has them for $185 each.

I can ship them for the $200. If you change your mind

I can say that the cheap (usually Chinese) aftermarket units look pretty convincingly good. (Note the emphasis on the word "look.") But when you put them in and turn them on, you'll usually find that the light pattern is nothing even close to stock - and pretty much totally useless.

If you go with a used unit, make sure its an actual OEM Ford part.
