Thanks for the tip on polishing the headlight lenses, Ron!
I went back to the auto parts store to see if I could buy an entire headlight but it was closed. I expect, if available for a 2004 one it will be very expensive.
You won't be able to buy a new lens at an auto parts store. Your best place to look is an on-line seller.
You really don't need a buffer to make the lens clear as glass again. You can do it by hand. But it will take roughly a half hour to 45 minutes by hand compared to 5 easy minutes with a buffer.
If the Ford head light lens has stubs sticking out forward, then the buffing process by hand or with a buffer, will be more difficult.
