I bought a new headlight for one side of our 1995 ford lta9000 aeromax a couple years ago. I wanted to replace the other side because the lens is cloudy. I remember the other one was a old stock that someone had, but now I can't find new/ old stock, or aftermarket anywhere for the other side. There's a guy down in arkansas with a whole hood for $250, and its got the lights in it, I'm thinking about buying it just so I have a extra headlight. Anyone else got a source for headlights? Its really a pretty good truck, but if I loose a headlight, we're going to be sunk.

pushbroomNew Member#3 I tried looking for a headlight and mount bracket last year for a customer and could get an OEM one through freightliner for 600 or 700cad. Customer didnt like the price so I never ordered it
Truck ShopSuper User#4 Try going after it with some tooth paste and sponge, may or may not help.
crane operatorSuper User#5 I had to replace the left one after a windstorm flopped a feed truck onto it. We fixed the fender. I guess I'm just a little worried that I'll lose one to a forklift or something, and wanting to figure out my options early on. I'm pretty sure the one I bought was close to $600. Which is probably why I didn't buy a matching set. And now here I am. Worried about something that may never happen.
Old DougSenior Member#6 Have you tried Midway Ford? It might be really expensive.

Deere500aSenior Member#8 Would a 92/93 Ford e250 van work it looks close?

I guess if push came to shove, I could fiberglass in a different opening in the fender to match something else, but it's not going to look right. I've seen no aftermarket Chinese ones.
Truck ShopSuper User#10 I have a yard checking, they had 3 Areomax, but they're getting fairly picked over.
crane operatorSuper User#11 I'm talking to a guy that the whole front end, from fuel tanks forward. I may buy the whole thing, so I have doors, hood, lights, fuel tanks, the whole cab, and steering axle/ box. Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it.
crane operatorSuper User#12 After looking at some different pictures this afternoon, there are some econoline headlights that match, but the turn signal part of the wrap around doesn't . The one's that match have the angled front inside corner. I bet they took the turn signal part from something else, and matched them up. More study and maybe a junkyard trip. Thanks for the suggestion @Deere500a

I talked to a couple other freightliner dealers and they were having trouble finding one so hoping the place you use still has one.
