$120 is a lot for a single headlight.

I bet that headlight is really for an '89 and they just list it for an '88.  They have no listing at all for an '87 headlight and it should be the same part number.  I've seen several other parts places get the '88 and '89 headlights mixed up as well.

The 1987 Cougar headlamp was superceded by the 1988 Lincoln Continental headlight....they're the same thing. Maybe a search for a 1988-94 Conti will produce something.

I was told that the Mark VII lights would fit a Cougar.Is it true?If it is,I have them in great shape I've been wanting to sell.If I knew if they would fit,it would make it much easier to get rid of them.
