Does anyone know if there are clear replacement headlights? I have heard the Foxbody mustangs will fit but I am hesitant after my dash cover didn't fit from a 5.0 mustang that was "supposed" to. My headlights have frosted pretty bad and I drive with my highbeams on at all time just so i can see. If anyone is selling clear replacements I would be willing to buy those as well. thanks

No clear headlights to the best of my knowledge. I bought a brand new pair on evil bay about a year ago for $200... they are goin for around $280 now. Money well spent imo. I also did an hid kit as well. I can see great at night now. Your other option is to wet sand the ones you have starting with around 600-800 grit working your way up to 2000 grit (and then polishing them). It takes a long,long,long time but is a great option if you have the patience.

3M makes a kit to help polish them back up but IMHO, it is money well spent to get the new ones. I replaced mine three years ago and they are great at night. They should last another 23 years since the car is in the garage and only sits outside for shows.

The only lights that fit the Thunderbird, are Thunderbird lights. They are unique to themselves. Even the '87/'88 Cougar guys can get really nice lenses from a Lincoln that fit. We are on our own.

I 2nd www.shinylenses.com. If you have to have new from ebay. Remember any 87-88 will work. Not a turbo specific part.

Jon does a great job @ www.shinylenses.com. he did my headlights and corners for less than 125 and he took the ambers out as well. no way can you get new ones for anywhere close to that.

That's is incorrect, they ARE available, as of a year ago. Try this guy: www.tbidranch.com. $133 total for the pair. They work great!
