Headlight Recommendation

I want to upgrade the headlights on my '98 Expedition to something that looks more modern. I see a lot of pics of trucks on this site but don't know where you're getting them from. Any help on recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you for the link, and the info! Unfortunately they don't have a headlight just like that with the yellow on the side. I've always been partial to the yellow corners even though the clears seem to be the "in" thing.

Sharper, I just ordered the Procarparts set fro mine. Saw them live at an F-150 rally in Daytona Beach last weekend. The guy loved them (so did I) & he said they didn't leak or anything. I was gonna get "L" lites but too much $$$$$$$$.
I think these look great, The heads are like the Harley lites without the amber reflector at the bottom.
Will post pic when I install them !

Sylvania has their HID lamps on sale for $699. It might be worth looking into depending on the depth of your pockets. Might even find them cheaper.

Buyer Beware!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to let you guy/girls know. Beware those of you who are planning on dealing with Pro Car Parts. I went around with this "Company" More like a joke, awhile back. I ended up racking up about $50.00 in long distance phone calls to them. Not trying to talk you out of it, just beware. FYI they sell items on ebay, you want a laugh check out there feedback ratings. They usually average about 100 NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS a week. Just thought I would give you all a heads up.

Mine are from the factory Ford 2002 Lightning. Got them off e-bay (not from Pro Car Parts). I am very happy with the way they look.

Off topic a little but I hope I have a better experience with Pro Car Parts than Rolling Rock 1978 had. I just placed an order with them but haven't received my items yet.

ProCarParts is probobly not the best company but for certian things, IE: lights. They are not a bad company. I bought my lights from them and the only bad experience that I have had with them is that they take 5-7 days to deliver. I have had my Euro Lights for about 4 months now and have not hand any problems yet.

Here is a picture with them installed.

I hate to turn this into a procarparts bash thread with another bad experience, but? I called them about their ad for Euro diamond headlights in Truckin magazine, and they seemed to have no knowledge of the ad. They would not honor the price, instead trying to charge me about $30 to $40 more than the ads' listed price. The kid who answered the phone sounded like he had just woke up from a nap(probably when the phone rang, lol!) The last straw was when he put me on hold for ten minutes trying to find their address so I could send them the money. I promptly hung up and knew better than to ever call them again. I then won a set of Euro headlights from www.matrixracing.com for $125, about $75 cheaper than the going price at the time. This was on Ebay, from Alex(aka:bonbonshaker) I highly recommend them, it was amazing how quickly I got the headlights and he was very helpful working with my schedule. I move around quite a bit!!,,,,98

Procarparts also grabbed a photo from TampaSVTs' gallery to use as a background for their magazine ad. NOT COOL!!

I just bought some projectors from Big Boyz Toyz of Arizona - http://www.autotoyaz.com/forf1ex9720p.html - today in fact, and they have been nothing but helpful in answering questions and making the whole process so easy.

However, anyone here who has the projectors, do you have any tips for installing them? Or will the instructions given suffice? Any help would be appreciated - especially wiring the new lights. Thanks!

sharper4, too bad i didn't read this thread a few days ago. I got a hook up on a few sets of 02HD lights, but they are all spoken for now. I know you said you like the orange reflectors in them, and the HD ones would have been perfect .
i do too, i think it looks like something is missing with out some orange up there
