OEM are obsolete from Ford. TYC or DEPO seem to be reasonable aftermarket, all over ebay, may have to ask seller which brand they deal with..I:ve had both brands..

Thats good, but how do they compare in fit and quality over OEM

Quality seems decent and fit was pretty good too. Some have had poor fitment, maybe a gap or something, I don't think most are going to know any difference. I've heard the light pattern can be off from OEM. The light pattern was never great on these cars to begin with.

One will say they are great and another will say they will suck..Figure out what you want and go from there..OEM is not an option, unless someone is selling used ones on here from a part out.

Would recommend XPEL for them, which protects from the sandblast look and UV yellowing. Can get the whole set pre cut for a marauder for less than $50 on carid,com or .net whichever

When I bought my DD marauder it has a depo headlight and a oem headlight

As said above, the depo light is scattered in comparison to the oem

They may look good on the car, but they suck compared to oem

Personally I would restore the oem headlights if they are not cracked and buy aftermarket turn signals

TYC markers and restoring the oem headlights looks to be the way to go
