The actual headlight housing?

car-part dot com, is a junkyard database, parts geek, ebay

Hit up eBay too... lots of S550 headlights, some far less than dealer or vendor cost. Just make sure seller guarantees it's a working unit or has some type of return policy in the event it's not working.

The only thing that broke was the plastic around the light

I appreciate everyone's input. The light itself still works, I just don't have the plastic around it. Something came up off the road and shattered it

Unfortunately, these are (usually) not inexpensive. Any chance this kind of damage is covered by your insurance policy? Not sure it'd be worth making a claim over

You could try to get a used assembly "for parts" and just replace the broken lens, probably have to reseal everything (I'm not sure what goes into that repair, maybe there's a thread on it here), OR if you don't want to mess with the repair, buy a whole new assembly. You might be able to find an aftermarket "OEM Style" (of questionable quality?) replacement for less.

Edit: as Cobra Jet mentioned eBay might be a good source too

I'm going to have one of my guys look at it. He thinks he can fix it but I'm just having a hard time finding good front tail light. OEM I believe is around 800 bucks for one light

I bet you are.

Ford Parts Direct and Tasca have been OK for me.

That said - do you have have Ford reward points from the purchase of your car? If so, that might cover the entire bill.

I replaced the headlight assy on my Honda and although I usually go with OEM the price difference between that and aftermarket was so great I went with one that had many good reviews. They are "ok", the light pattern is not as good as OEM and one of the metal brackets did not fit so I re-used the OEM one. For my Mustang it will be nothing but Ford parts.
