Cracked headlights

[harry kew]

1999 Patriot 40 ft, I have two cracked headlights and would like to replace them.Anyone know what these headlights came out of. I have tried to search but came up with nothing any input would help.

Headlight, and sometimes taillight, assemblies on our coaches are commonly from specific automobiles, such as Lincoln, and yours might be from a late 80s Ford pickup, Harry.  A member here probably knows what yours is, but if not you may need to get a DOT number off the assembly, then search auto yards or online for a pair.

Some months back there were some on EBay.  You might punch in "Beaver headlights" or something there and check.

Our 1997 has Ford Pickup headlamps and I think they used them till after 2000. I think they are 1990 model year run. Take the numbers off and any body shop or ford dealer can get them.  Url below has picture.

With headlights you can usually simply Google the SAE number that is molded into the lens; that's what I did with ours.  I think you will find yours are from a Lincoln Navigator.

Harry,
There is a little confusion here because the 1999 Patriot was the last year that used the glass headlight from the 1987-1991 Ford pick-up. The 2000 Patriot went to the "plastic" headlight assemblies from the 1999-2002 Lincoln Navigator.

Gerald,
What headlight assembly does my 1999 marquis have?

[Dennis Crawford]

Harry,

I had to replace my headlights on my 2005 Monterey.  Got them on ebay.  Just search for Beaver Headlights.

My right front headlight is fogged and has moisture in it so I just ordered a new one off eBay. It's after market for $160 with a 1 year warranty.  Hope it works out. The price is right.

Rich,
Remove the foggy headlight, set it in the sun to dry out for a few days. Once the moisture is gone, seal the seams with Lexel. Will be a good as new.

Tom,
The 1999 Marquis uses standard sealed beam headlights, and replacements can be found at any large auto parts store. Just take your old headlight in and match it up.

Gerald thanks,

I was more interestd in the assembly.  I know the bulbs are standard.

The frames are a bit rusty and hard to adjust.

[Gerald Farris]

Tom,
I do not know who made the headlight buckets, but the adjusting hardware is replaceable as individual parts. Any parts house or body shop that deals with older model car repairs will have (or can get) the parts to repair your headlights.

Rich,
Sorry for the bad info. Thought you had the same assy as in the 2000 model.

I apologize for hijacking this thread. Gerald do you know the OEM manufacturer of the headlight assemblies for my 2005 Beaver Monterey? Perhaps a Lincoln also. If so, what model?

Thanks,

Stan

Steve, thanks anyway. That would have saved a few bucks. Does anyone know how hard/easy it is to replace the headlight?  Any tips would be appreciated.
