Question Mk1 Mondeo Headlights

I have a 95 Mondeo that is suffering from the "yellow headlight syndrome" (yes, it has the correct UV cut globes, it's more like the strong aussie sun causes the yellowing)

The inner lenses are that bad that they are seriously affecting the light output to a stage that it is like driving a '64 VW Beetle at night!

Just wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket supplier of mondeo headlights? I have seen some nice 4 light systems on some websites in the UK but none here.

Anyone else had to deal with the crap Mk1 headlights?

its a common problem with all mk1s mate. Unfortunately you cannot buy the lenses from ford here and replacement lights will cost you a fortune so what I would do is buy the lenses from the uk and get them sent here they wont cost much at all only the postage will. Also look on ebay.co.uk

Ordered and received a pair of new lenses from a ford dealer in the UK. All good now!
