I just bought my tbird, and one thing i really want to replace are my headlights and side bezels or w/e you wanna call them. They are extremely foggy and inside them looks like a 24/7 car wash its so wet in there. The guy i bought the car off of said he just drove around with the brigths on cause they sucked so bad. Anyone know a GOOD place to find them? new or used as long as they dont look like mine! lol

There are new headlights on Ebay for $220.00,a guy here who restores them,and the tail lights are the same between all of the '87/'88 T-Birds,Turbo Coupe or not.Otherwise for the headlights,posting a request in the classifieds,and luck.Same with the other lights.A few people here probably have some for sale.As I stated,post a request below in the classifieds.
1988 Thunderbird. No details will be given or spoken of.

Please don't buy new ones for $220! I emailed that guy once and told him that his prices were kinda high and that we could get new lenses from the dealer for half that price(I could at the time), and he told me pretty much to go f myself. Not nice!

Jon runs shiny lenses, and he is a regular here. Maybe he will see this and chime in.

Might have most of what you need. '87 tails, somewhat decent entire front light lens set (inners, heads, outers). If interested, I'll take some pictures.
'88 TC-Black T-5 with 79K stock 98.5% original, just w-i-d-e rims and tires, and some under hood powder-coating
'88 TC-Blue w/98K. Stocker w/t-5 ( the resurrection car) top gas mileage =31 mpg!
'88 TC-Grey w/99k. Auto, well optioned, 2nd owner car - getting more options
'87 TC-Blue w/123k t-5 parts car - less of a car now
'88 TC gray- body only so far- very very late factory build dated car, awaiting resurrection
'87 GN w/16.8K
"96 Bronco XLT w/351 (5.8l)

First thing... go directly to your dealer and see if you can get the headlights there. I used to be able (year or so ago) get the pair for about $95.
