Driver's Side Headlight Assembly for 87-88 Tbird Reply #5 – April 12, 2014, 06:01:35 PM Yeah, I just can't justify spending upwards of 200 for a set of headlights that are useless when other cars are present. They're also TC headlights and I have lx trim, so I don't think that they will work (unless that's more of a matter with the parking lights). Ultimately I'll be putting in a pair of round headlights on both passenger and drivers side, but I can't disassemble the front end at this point in time to do the requisite fabrication to make that work. Nor can I afford the 900 dollar full fiberglass front end for my car which would solve so many woes.If anyone has a fogged up headlight, or just the an intact piece of the black plastic trim that mounts behind it that will do it for now. I just don't want to spend hundreds on headlights that I can't see with... Quote Selected

Driver's Side Headlight Assembly for 87-88 Tbird Reply #9 – April 14, 2014, 06:02:05 PM Yeah I saw that thread, but my question is how do you aim them? Also if you've got the square hid conversion headlamp posted on the first picture in that link you posted I'd be more than happy to liberate it from your spare parts pile. Quote Selected
