new?

I'd say a aftermarket supplier of parts... won't be OEM, but most likely Taiwainese. I personally am working on a project to update the gen1 look and it is looking very promising @ the moment, but don't know if it'll be for everyone. Thing that sucks is I picked up the headlight assemblys I'm using for $120 for 2 new... cheaper than I could have bought the ghetto looking gen1 units for. I was quoted $80 a piece for aftermarket gen 1 assemblys @ a wolesale price because I went through my paintguy. Try searching online for 1990 taurus headlights and see what you get there... bottom line is I think FORD ones will set you back a pretty penny. Keep us posted, but if yours look anything like mine right now I completely understand why you'd be looking for new. Good luck. thumbs_u

good night!
$300 for headlamp and corner assembly replacements? shrug
yuck!
Let me know when you come up with something.
Currently, my headlights just look their age. I want some that look "new/clear"

I was able to find an 'almost new' passenger side for $6 from ebay. SLO Taurus. Now the problem is it's in better shape than my 'good' driver's side one.
