So I ordered a pair of OE black headlights from AM. Went to install them and they didn't fit flush at all. Took some pics and sent them to AM. They were very apologetic and sent me an RMA. I guess I took a chance on those headlights and the roll of the dice wasn't in my favor. I did read the negative and positive reviews and it was a crap-shoot for quality.

Yeah it's hit or miss with these aftermarket lights. Same thing happened to me. When I got another pair from AM it fit perfect. I would give it another try

Yeah, its weird. I read the reviews...all of them and its a toss-up between it working perfectly, or bad fitting and gaps along the fenders. What is interesting is that I checked the black smoke ones that are on my car now and they are also built in Taiwan just like the DEPO ones I got from AM. So, whatever. Ultimately, I am going to order a set of RetroSolutions HID kit for my car so that I can keep using my black smoked headlights.

I purchased LX head lights for my foxbody GT once from 50 resto. Had to send them back as they did not sit properly. Replacement set was fine. Think it's all made in China.:confused:

Everyone says to get the OEM Ford manufactured headlights, but they are mega bucks for a pair. I guess you get what you pay for.

I'm going to do a search and see if any member on here has the Retro Solutions HID kit for their 99-04 Mustang.
