headlamp replacements

Yahoo Message Number: 5829
If you need a new lamp due to UV damage or warping, you may find them at the aftermarket auto body parts store in your area. No need to buy Original Equipment Manufactered (OEM) I checked a catalog from our local aftermarket supplier and found several years of Ford pickup and Bronco that will fit exactly. Their prices are much lower than the dealer's OEM lights.
Or local supplier buys shipping containers full of parts from Asia, mostly Taiwan. These suppliers are in competition with OEM mfg on almost all brands of cars, domestic and foreign.
Many owners with insurance claims will refuse aftermarket body parts on their cars and insist on OEM because of the poor quality and fit of fenders, hoods, etc.but the lights seem to be higher quality.
Country Coach used aftermarket lights on my 99 Intrigue and I suspect several other models and coach builders use them.
Many of the aftermarket lights will carry the name "DEPOT" or other mfg labels, but they are impossible to tell the difference unless you look at the brand name.
It would be interesting to know how much of the coach is really american made. Maybe we don't want to know.
