yes...
the bottom one is the unit,being a 98,in theory you should have the facelift lights (black surround,not silver),make sure you buy the correct one,as there are 2 (facelift=black plastic,pre facelift=silver plastic)......
is the other driver paying?,if not,they do come up for sale on ebay,there are a couple of guy's breaking cars here at the moment,or you could try trevor at fordparts.co.uk....

PS if you do decide to do the job yourself,all the details are here CHANGING THE HEADLAMP LENS

I cannot get onto fordparts.co.uk for some reason. But I have looked at the tutorial to change a lens. I noticed that the guy was changing to a facelift look. The plastic surround in my headlamp is undamaged could I not use that one if I can only get one with a silver surround or is too complicated to remove the silver one and replace with black

Hi there,
think this is the link for Ford Parts UK:
http://www.fordpartsuk.com/
The e-mail link for Trevor is on the left hand side.

Just had a quick look on Ebay for you Johnboy.
There are quite a few Ultima Headlights for sale at the moment, so you may be able to save yourself a bob or two.
Good Luck.

if i remember,yes you can seperate the glass,but it is a little "fiddly",and will need silicone to re-seal it properly etc.etc...IMHO,you really are better off replacing the whole lens,it's only 4 clips

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to answer my question. I did what Craig suggested and contacted trevor at Ford parts uk and they fixed me up with a new lens for my model. Total cost including vat and delivery charge £61. She now has two eyes and looks as good as ever. Cheers lads
