Are your broken or just yellow and barely let light threw if so. You can clean that  of easy. Just use the finest steel wool you can find and scub it off. then wax it real good and buff off. Then to give it that extra boost use some cover all or tire wet.

they are obsolete but vintage parts sells to ford dealers only.
they still have hundreds of left side and quite a few rights. no
park or sidelamps to go with them though. check green sales.

Also, you could check out certain years of Lincoln Continentals, but I'm not sure right off what years will interchange...it's here somewhere though.

Good luck

Are they the same as Bird ones? I have a set of Ford ones I got off ebay awhile back for 45 each. I plan on selling the car in the spring and I can put the old cruddy ones back in first if you can wait a few months.

I understand you can still get them from Ford... There is also a guy on Ebay that sells them new for around 200 bucks a pair. I was going to get a set after the new year.

Merry Christmas!

Yes, in case I wasn't clear, I was talking about the Thunderbird lights.

88-94 continentals use the same lens and housing. tbirds
are different.
vintage parts has quite a few of each side lens . they can only
be bought from a ford dealer.

The Continental housing is different -- at least the one I pulled from a '92 was.  The lens assembly itself is the same.

By "lens assembly", what are you referring to?  Just the outer lens itself, or the chrome inner assembly with it?
