Hey everyone.

I hope I've posted this in the correct forum section. If not, please forgive me. I couldn't find the troubleshooting/problems section.

Anyways, I own a 99 Ford Ranger, of which the headlight (driver side) has gotten foggy. It's certainly not as transparent as the passenger side light. At first I wasn't sure why one was foggy and the other wasn't, but then I took a closer look at the foggy light and noticed a small crack on the outside casing. I believe this crack has allowed moisture to enter the light. I've heard of people restoring their headlights with special DIY kits, but I've decided to take the route of simply replacing the light with an aftermarket light from an online store. I found two sites that I particularly liked, but I'm unsure of whether or not they are legitimate businesses. Furthermore, I don't want to fall prey to a scam. Has anyone purchased from either of these sites and can verify that they are a legitimate business? The following parts match the oem number of the one I need. Thanks in advance.

I haven't dealt with either of those but you need to be careful with cheap, aftermarket lights. I bought some tail lights on ebay and they both filled with water the first time I washed the truck. A good used OEM one from a wrecking yard might be a better option. Just my opinion.
 
They Both Look Kinda Shady Do Yourself A Favor And Just Hit Up JC Whitney Trusted Website That I Use Repeatedly For My Jeep Wrangler Parts. Shipping Charges May Or May Not Be Stupid But Hey Better Than Getting Faulty Parts . Also If You Ever Cross A Website Titles "My Hot (Insert Vehicle Model)" Avoid It I Hear A Lot Of People Have Problems With Them And Are They Have Very Poor Customer Service. Hope This Helps Somewhat.
