Headlights, Help Plz.

So I have a 98 f150, and the headlights are factory with the yellow blinkers, you know the stock ones. and well the headlights are all cloudy and ****ty and ugly looking. I wanna buy new headlights, I found these on ebay, what do you think? and anyone have any other ideas? I'm looking to spend under $100.

All feedback is welcome.

they will work good, and look good, and will fit your application as long as your truck isnt a very early build 1998 model.

The 1997s and early 1998s had different mounting points on the lights....

I have the "real" lights that those are copies of.

look at the build date on your door jam sticker to know where in the year model you fall...

If you are looking for brighter lights then spend your $100 (shipping included with in 50 States) to upgrade to our HID conversion kits. HID is way brighter than stock halogen bulbs and others such as silverstars. Take a look a this thread. https://www.f150online.com/forums/ap...nk-review.html

Those are good selections. They will fit your truck, the only problem would be if your truck was built before June of 1996. If it was built after that, your good. I would also recommend going for HIDs

Well I tried to polish the lens, and it just won't help. I might end up getting HID's over the summer, but right now I'm in college, and I don't have that much money to spend. So I figure the new lights would help and make my truck look alot better.

I got new lenses first, then HIDs second. Bright blue lights on stock heads are a big no-no. Glare like a sunofabitch!
