I just went with aftermarket the local body shops use. Nothing is available new from Ford, used is same as you already have.

Google search and toss a dart, all the same manufacturer just sold as different brand names.

Yep. just like all of the parts pimps that sell the same offshore tractor parts. You're gona get the same part, no matter how it's boxed as there are extremely few companies in this country that actually make anything. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

TYC makes good quality headlight assembly replacements. They’re not the cheapest, they do fit well and meet or exceed OEM. Google TYC headlights.

TYC headlights are made in several locations, including Taiwan, Thailand, China, and the Netherlands. The company, TYC Brother Industrial Co., Ltd., is based in Taiwan, where it manufactures many of its automotive lighting products for both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.

joe, you can buy new HOUSINGS that will eliminate the FOG problem.. Aftermarket are available on line in several sites...... The FACTORY bulbs are 55 watt Halogen.. you can buy AFTERMARKET bulbs that are also 55 watts... but you can also buy 65 watt and even higher, if you look around..  watts are not everything... Some bulbs have a better design gas chamber.. some give a WHITE light and some a YELLOW light... you might look for a BRAND NAME like "Sylvania super bright ".

Someone told me recently,( and I have not yet checked on it), that at Wal Mart, you can buy some kind of stuff to spray on your head light lens that will take out the fog color -    I don't know but thought it might be worth checking out before replacing the entire head lights.

Only works on face of lens, has no effect of crazing or discoloration within the
Plastic acrylic or the inside of lens. My 1999 was so bad as received the new housings I installed the brilliance with even to lamps had in old ones was immense.

Got mine off Parts Geek, reasonable pricing, came with lamps but tossed as had less than year old Ultra Blue Halogens in old ones, Like that Light as opposed to many others had in 25 years.

Really close fit, clips for the OEs had corrupted and had to buy new as the Tin Foil ones that came with were less than adequate.    CAR ID has a Similar line and know two that bought theirs there, also satisfied.
