Default Headlights, where to buy

I have a '95 Ram 1500 that needs headlights, where's a good place to buy them, direct from Mopar? I'm in the San Diego area.

Both are pretty cloudy, and one has some pretty heavy condensation inside it. How would the condensation get in there anyway, a bad seal or something? Could this be fixed? Maybe I wouldn't need new headlights if the one could be fixed.

The moisture usually comes in through cracks in the plastic lens or gasket and can be a real hassle to clean out and keep it out. Best to replace them if you have the coin. Sometimes the cloudiness will clean up with a restore kit available at parts stores.

The dealer will want crazy money for factory replacements. I bought my replacements on ebay and they've been fine.

Another vote for AM-Autoparts. Free, fast shipping; perfect fit; great customer service when needed.

Give me a few days I am waiting for my new clear projectors to arrive from LMC truck and then once I get a chance to put them in I will let you know. My headlights have sucked for a few years but I mostly commute to work in or close to daylight so I dealt with it. This fall as the daylight rolled back on me I finally gave up on trying to clean/recondition with all assorted techniques that at best made marginal temporary improvements.

Late reply, been away from a computer!

So it sure looks like I'll be ordering from AM, but there's a problem .. I went to the local dodge dealer to get the part numbers, but they aren't even close to the ones AM shows.
Mopar is 55076748AO for one of the headlights, while AM shows the number as 19393627.

Is there a cross reference somewhere on the AM site, to give me the proper parts number?

On this page http://www.am-autoparts.com/1995/Dod...eadLights.html what I think I want to order is the third one down, the headlight and corner lights pair. My Ram isn't the sports model.

I need to order these soon, getting dark early!

Gertie, what do you mean by the OE style?
