no and no. Those are 1 piece units that replace all 3 lights on each side of the mustang's front end. Those are different to begin with from the bird, and the cougars lights are even more different. They would not fit at all.


Seriously dude...

What model years of 3 Series are they from?  Do you know the depth of those BMW housings?  If so, how much room do you have for them in your car?

Back in March or April when I was still deciding on which parts to go with, I measured my neighbor's 3-series and if I remember right, from assembly lens cover to socket was like 9 inches.

One other thing I remember while doing my search for possible headlight assemblies, is that the angles of today's cars seem to match better with that of the Bird than the Cougar.  I ended up looking to trucks and SUV's for possible donors and that lead to what I have now.

So i found out that Cougar2go might have taken truck/suv halos instead.. hmm time for research..

Find something you like, make it fit, and be original. The Cougars are a little less pointy on the front, so I'd guess they would be slightly easier to find a donor to choose from as not many newer vehicles have a pr0nounced "beak" and the resulting angles on the face of the lenses as '87-8 Birds. And as Gumby suggested, the Linc Conti's have identical headlights as the 87 and '8 Cats.
