Hello Gentlemen
I am looking for Ford dealer, who can ship parts overseas. I live in Finland, Europe and we do not have any US-Ford dealer here. I need the headlight covers F81Z13064AAA and AAB. I need those to be able to replace the original headlights to European standard lights. These covers are from work truck and they fit F350 series as well. They are not the pretties choise, but so far the best I have found.
Any connection appreciated
Jukka

Your best bet is to perform an internet search for Ford dealers in the USA. I've always had good service from Buckeye Ford (link below) in London, Ohio for mail order items. I do not know if they will ship overseas.

Jukka I took the liberty of contacting my local discount parts Ford Dealer and they WILL ship overseas to you 
Just to note if you're doing a conversion from the standard headlamp setups commonly found on US Excursions to the XL style found on Pickups you'll need the bezels, spring adjuster hardware,Halogen sealed beam retaining rings and the buckets that go behind the sealed beams.
It's a basic swap but you'll want to have all the hardware on hand to accomplish the task without waiting for additional parts.
Go to their website Ford Parts Online
If you need additional assistance feel free to email me anytime!

Thanks Bill
I called them and ordered the parts. And it was easy when someone had already called them and asked about the same parts.
The total cost without the beams was 113 USD plus shipping ( abt. 30 USD ) - not bad.
Like I said, this is not an upgrade, but a must to get European approved headlights to the truck.
There are only 4 Xs in Finland and not too many in whole Europe and one reason is the different safety regulations and to get US made car registered here requires lot of work - manual and paper.
But after the headlights I should be done.
many thanks again.

Okay kewl deal Jukka  I did tip off Sam at FPO that you'd be calling.
I know of another Gentleman in Norway that had done the same conversion to his Excursion to make it vehicle compliant.
The look of the X with sealed halogen headlights aren't that bad at all,the best sealed beam replacement I've used over the years is the Sylvania Xtravision
If you have the ability to get some pics of the swap or the completed work and add em to your album to share that would be great as there isn't too many sealed beam X's around 
Take care,
Bill
