I called them late last week and they said they only had one side but can pull from other location. I placed an order with them this morning and added a front and rear bumper ($400 each and cheaper than aftermarket ones on LMR).

I wonder how long before these are obsolete.

Who knows but I scored a new OEM 3rd brake light BNIB like a year ago for cheap. Been sitting there in the shelf, I have a feeling it’s going to be worth some money in the future to someone who is restoring one. A spare set of headlights might be worth some money too seeing as they take all the road debris head on.

Yeah my original headlights are in good shape, but having a spare oem set is nice.

headlights came in today i can assure you they are the oem smoked ones intended for the 01-04 mustangs will be a great addition to my mach as the originals are very messed up.

Have you tried installing them yet? I ran into an issue in the passenger side light. The black ring that holds the bulb down and in place, it doesn’t fit. The new ones have a lip that the old ones don’t. The driver side fit like a glove.

Have not opened the boxes, but received my headlamps yesterday. Very happy with price, service and delivery.

I'd be interested in what AutoNation Ford would say about it. You should email them a picture.

I don't plan on putting my set on anytime soon. Can you post up a picture of the two that shows the difference?

Good idea Brady. I'll check them out this weekend.

Maybe test fit them and make sure you don’t have the same issue I ran into

Okay Roy, I'll do some comparing to see if I have any issues. These things are a snap to install, so test fitting should not take too long.

The lights don’t have new rings, you have to use your old ones. I can make it work with a little dremel work or some light sanding but I don’t really like doing that or want to do that on a brand new piece especially when it’s OEM.

Just ordered a set, hopefully they still have some. As long as the set I receive fits I'll order a 2nd set to stash away.
