They should be from a late-1980s Ford pickup. Here is one potential source: F-150 Headlight - Auto Parts Warehouse (http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/?Ntt=f-150+headlight) I have no idea whether or not their price is the best; I just happened to find this site first.

I think that style is common from 1987-1991.  It's the same for my '91 coach.  I've seen two versions: you need to make sure it has the chrome trim on it.

The SINGLE Ford headlites are on my 95 but after 95 on the Bus types they are double lites and I am not sure of their origin.

You're absolutely right Gary, I missed that.  The DOUBLES do look like the same Ford style as the SINGLES and I don't think I have ever seen a double on a Ford vehicle.  I suppose the second (inner) lamps might just be added to the first but hopefully some one knows more definitively.

FWIW, here is a link to a little better deal on pair of the singles, will need to add a pair without the blihttp://www.ebay.com/itm/87-91-Ford-Bronco-Pickup-Truck-F150-F250-Headlights-Headlamps-Pair-Set-/370843590409?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1991%7CModel%3ABronco&hash=item5658001f09&vxp=mtrnkers to replace the doubles.  I have not done this tho have considered.  This is a little better price.

Unicoach headlights are two Ford singles bolted to a modified frame.
