1997-2002 Ford Escort/Mercury Tracer Halogen Headlights Pair

Your old lights probably had moisture or condensation in them too, but the older, dulled and oxidized lens makes moisture less noticeable. Now that you have those new clear lights on your nice car, all of sudden you’re really looking at them, which is completely normal. Without going into too much detail, It's a fact that condensation happens just about anywhere. If there's a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the lens, moisture will occasionally develop, and, since your Halogen headlight bulbs put out some heat, the inside of the headlight is full of warm air while the outside is cooler. This is sort of like how the front window on your car can fog up and you have to turn on the defroster vent to clear it all away: The condensation in your headlights will usually dissipate after the headlights are turned on, as the heat of the lights evaporates the moisture. Your high beams will usually produce more heat to clear any condensation more quickly.

For the most part, no. The stock replacement headlight assemblies are a direct equivalent to what is being taken out of the car. You can reuse your old bulbs and sockets, which should fit right in with no modifications needed. Some of the aftermarket units do use different Halogen bulbs than the stock ones. In those cases, we sell the requisite bulb, and really, with the great deal we have on PERDE light bulbs, you can't go wrong with fresh, new bulbs.

Halo lights are lights arranged in a ring around the headlights themselves. You've probably seen them on some cars, such as BMWs, where they are the factory option. In some cases the effect is achieved with bulbs, while on other vehicles it's done with fiber optics. Halo Lights can be a popular upgrade to make your car or truck stand out at night. Please be aware that most of theHalo lights we sell typically have to be manually wired up to your existing wiring harness. This is because your stock vehicle did not have Halos, and there is no wiring pigtail for them on the factory harness.
