I just recently got and installed a pair. They do cover all 3 lights. They are the slip in kind, no mounting hardware. For fit I would give them 9 out of 10. There is a slight gap at the top of the inner lights. This is my first experience with head light covers

Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.

GTS has two different part numbers for the '87-'88 T-Birds.
#219 for the regular T-Bird & #226 for the TC
I've never compared the two side by side so I don't know what the difference is but if you bought a set of GTS covers, check to make sure you that have #226.
(their full part number is GTO226S)

Summit sent me the wrong ones too. They were for the LX. The TC covers are on backorder.
