I've decided to change both headlights on the wagon after the passenger one literally caught fire and melted due to a faulty dip switch. The insurance was only willing to replace the one headlight and not do the indicator/wiper stalk assembly and then it was only going to be a $500 job. With this in mind I decided to save my $300 excess and the 10% NCB I'd lose and do the job myself. I've already organised a switch and a replacement section of loom that I'll have to splice in so now I'm just after some lights. Ford want $350 for one light and I've spotted a few lights on Ebay for a fraction of that new and I can get 2 for the cost of a factory one.
My question is - is there any brand/seller/light I should avoid because of bad or out of focus lenses or poor construction and is there any one in particular that somebody had bought that you're particularly happy with? I don't necessarily want the cheapest as generally you get what you pay for but likewise I don't want to be baying factory prices either. Any guidance in this area would be most appreciated. Cheers Bushbasher
