I was surfing through Ebay (a daily ritual),and noticed the Thunderbird lights went from $130.00 a pair to $140.00 per pair.Get 'em while you can.

Ok....I found what I was told.....

For headlights try a place like fordparts.com and use p/n E7SZ-13007-A & E7SZ-13007-B. This will give you the same thing as ebay, which is the lens and you may or may not need new adjuster screws depending on if they disintegrate when you R&R. Price should be about 45$.

Now for the good part. "Fordparts.com" is no longer good. So I did some digging around and I found this.....

Lord help me....I used the part numbers I was given above at this other site I found and it lists.....

1     OEM Catalog
BULB ASY HD/LMP-RH       $0.00    $41.87
1    OEM Catalog
BULB ASY HD/LMP-LH       $0.00    $41.87 with $9.25 shipping to me here in Texas. So I ordered a pair.

cross your fingers

Interestingly, the 87-88 Cougar lenses AND composite assemblies are both shown as available now, albeit at much higher than their T-bird brother's prices.

When I was shopping, they were unavilable and I had to get one sourced from the shelves of a dealership in Texas.

I read the other thread and it just served to confuse me. So...what I just ordered. That is the clear lens AND the housing with the hole for the bulb, but no adjusters? That right?
