I just received my side marker lenses the other day from that same source (Mexico). Took over a month to make it to my doorstep.

They seem to be a hair smaller than OEM and kind of wiggled around in the headlight bezels. Don't know how to fix that...silicone, maybe?
Quality isn't bad...not perfect (quite a few bubbles in the acrylic) but OK enough if you don't want or need original Ford parts. Price is certainly good. And he even used a photo of my '84 on the eBay page so really, how could I not buy them from him? :hick:

Photos:


 
Note the lack of the Ford logo and DOT info at the bottom...

 
Digging the grey back:


I did not try these on a car, so I couldn't tell if the perpendicular mounting point for the bulb sockets would be a problem or not. The originals are slanted for slimmer mounting access.

Yeah amber, clear corners (if you could get your hands on some) would look really good i think.

I usually like the stock look but in this case I think the tinted lights work better with that nice billet grille.  Something else to consider would be to tint some amber bumper lights to match the corner lights so every thing in the front has the same look.  Many times less is more. :D
