This forum is great! Just bought a wonderful twighlight blue, leather & loaded, 88 Thunderbird Sport 5.0, southern car, 75,000 miles, from original owner in amazing condition. Car looks, smells, performs, and works like new in most every way.....until I took it out after dark....the headlights are just about useless! Peered inside......yep, the insides are full of moisture and the chrome is shot.....the previous owner put in brand new high intensity bulbs that look bright when you face the car....but put out terrible light at night. I have seen several listings on ebay for NOS headlights for 88 Thunderbirds.....but EVERY one says for the Turbo version, not the more common base/LX/Sport models.
I know the turbo model has many cosmetic differences....but is there truly a difference in the actual headlight assemblly between the turbo/non-turbo headlights for the 87/88 T-Birds? Can't believe ONLY turbo-exclusive front end lenses/assemblies would be available....so are there any differences?
