Title: 87-88 Thunderbird LX headlights
Post by: GDawg148 on December 07, 2015, 04:50:48 PM
Hey guys, I know it's a bit of a hard find, but I was wondering if any of you had a decent/nice set of headlights for an LX front end.  Any leads or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Polish yours. If you send them to me, I'd polish them to a nearly new clear finish for you, but you'd have to cover shipping both ways and $35 for my labor. Still cheaper by a lot than you'll find clear replacement lights.

I have some decent ones from my old thunderbird, should be nice.. I haven't looked at them for about 8 years now they are sitting in a box.  I bought them from Ford around 1999-2000 when I had the bird painted, can't get pics till the weekend though they're at the garage with my cougar.

I've wrestled with mine time after time and it seems most of the haziness is on the inside of the housing.  I may try one more time but I think most of the work will have to be done from the inside.

If they are clean and clear and the OP doesn't want them I'd be interested in them. I can always use some as spares.

I'm installing my NOS lights on my car this weekend. I'm selling my current lights. They were NOS last year, but they let a little moisture in, so, I resealed them, and they look awesome. They have never polished them, they look great. $185 shipped.

Just to be clear, LX headlights are different from TC headlights, right?  Or is it only the corner and inner lights that are different?

Only the inners are different. Headlights and outside lights are the same.

My headlights will fit any '87/88 Bird. Very clear, look nearly new....because they have only been used for about a year.

I'll start a new thread over the weekend if GDawg doesn't want them,  they are out of the garage now.. no need to bring them back and store them again lol.

Add me to the waiting list! I am in dire need, since my T-brid has been my daily driver for the last decade.

I would be interested in these lights.  I guess I'm confused a little bit on who wants just who's lights.  Don't want to steal anyone's deal.  At the very least Vinnie, I might strike a deal with you in the spring to polish mine up for me.    Can't get to my car right now to take them out.

I was mainly testing the waters to see if any of you guys even had any good headlights in their possession.  I'm not prepared to purchase any headlights at the moment so i won't be buying them any time soon.  By all means, make some deals without me.
