and the LS still has some amazing paint left on it, very clean, for being wrecked and pretty much stripped
It's Gumby's fault.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Thanks.  Those are not BMW headlights.  I hope to have it at Ford Carlisle so you all can see it up close.

Sorry, they are not for sale.  They are one of the reasons I initially started looking for front lighting alternatives.  They are in such good shape, I didn't want to use them!  I just want to put them safely away.

I bought the ones on my LS in '95 from Autozone and they are still available from Autozone.  I just bought about 3 or 4 smoke pairs and 3 or 4 clear pairs from them about 6 months ago.
