Part # difference March 06, 2008, 01:54:11 PM What's the difference between the two? Is the Headlamp LENS just that? The lens? I'm curious because I've decided on purchasing a left side headlight to match my junkyard found right side one (found it NEW -- $10)Lamp Assembly 1987-88, R/L E8OY-13008-A/B Lens, Headlamp 1987-88, R/L E8OY-13007-A/B Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #1 – March 06, 2008, 03:21:54 PM Yes, that would be for the outer lense only.Ford offered the tailamps the same way, you could buy just the outer lense or the whole assembly.Brent:cougarsmily: Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #2 – March 06, 2008, 03:41:52 PM OOF! Time to open up the wallet and beg for mercy....I need the bucket too as the passenger one makes the driver side look like a neglected stepchild.I typed in these #'s on a parts locator and got the following info:QuotePart Number: E8OY-13008-b Electrical - Chassis electrical - Headlamps - Composite assy Composite assy, cougar, thunderbird, left 1987 - 1988 $178.01 Part Number: E8OY-13008-A Electrical - Chassis electrical - Headlamps - Composite assy Composite assy, cougar, thunderbird, right 1987 - 1988 $169.22 Part Number: E8OY-13007-B BULB ASY HD/LMP-LH $132.68 Part Number: E8OY-13007-A LP ASY HD/LP $129.52 According to the Ford person I spoke to on the phone concerning all this the "Composite Assy" will come with adjusters......I was also under the impression that the Cougar and T-bird lights/lenses are different. I have a set of T-bird lenses laying around....They APPEAR identical to the eye...If they ARE different why the same part # then? A revision perhaps midyear? Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #3 – March 06, 2008, 03:46:13 PM Cougar lights are different than T-Bird lights. I don't know why those part numbers would be the same. There's a bunch of Cougar owners out there that WISH the lights interchanged, as new T-Bird lights are readily available on eBay. Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #4 – March 06, 2008, 03:49:01 PM Exactly what I thought.....Does ANYONE have the 87-88 T-Bird headlight part #'s handy? Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #5 – March 06, 2008, 03:50:57 PM I don't have parts books newer than 1986 so I can't say.It is possible that the 13007 part number is for the outer lamp assembly and the 13008 is for the headlight?Brent:cougarsmily: Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #6 – March 06, 2008, 05:48:35 PM By outer lamp I assume you mean the side markers.The side markers for the Cougars and T-birds for 87-88 have different part#'sSide marker lamp assy part #'s are as follows:Right: E7WY-13200-ALeft: E7WY-13201-ATHESE are Cougar specific according to the same source.The T-bird side markers are as follows:Right: E7SZ-13200-ALeft: E7SZ-13201-ANow by this logic and knowing the part #'s are different I would think that the actual headlamp #'s would be different. I'm at a loss for why they are the same. I don't want to order the wrong one at around $160.This info is from http://www.newfordparts.com Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #7 – March 06, 2008, 05:55:52 PM Still look the same??? Upper is a RH for Coug, lower same for BirdBird lenses are E7SZ-13007-A & 13008-A... Lense only, without bucket & adjuster assly... Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #8 – March 06, 2008, 06:02:04 PM QuoteBird lenses are E7SZ-13007-A & 13008-A, without adjuster assly...Perfect! Thanks! Just holding a lens up to an installed headlight was all I had to go by. The pic shows the difference nicely. Thanks again!Also, Those #'s are for the lens or lens & bucket? Just trying to get a little more clarification and see if this guy I had on the phone was worth his salt or not...Looking through all this now I realize perhaps it should be in the Body/Appearance Section....My apologies. Feel free to move it if needed;) Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #9 – March 06, 2008, 06:17:41 PM I'm 99% sure without bucket... The xxx07 & xxx08 differentiates L & R... The Suffix A/B, etc indicates a difference with the part it's self... I believe part # with/without, are in the FAQ section over on NATO... But that don't mean Mercury didn't swap meanings for the A/B...BTW the Lincoln Continentals do use the same headlamps as Cougar... Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #10 – March 06, 2008, 06:27:46 PM Hmm. By reading the headlight section you referred it SOUNDS as if they come with the bucket, just not the adjusting unit.....QuoteAge and sun will eventually cause the headlight lenses to become yellowed or cloudy and sometimes even fogged with moisture inside. The headlights are still available from Ford, part numbers are: (E7SZ-13007-A) and (E7SZ-13007-B) and the list price is around $45.oo ea. To replace the lights, pull the halogen headlight bulb (DO NOT TOUCH the bulb with your fingers or it will burn out in a short period of time) out of the back of the lamp (don't loosen the screw on retainer lock) and remove the in-board parking lamp (between headlight and grille). If headlight alignment is OK, there is no need to TOUCH THE ADJUSTOR SCREWS AT ALL, just release the mounting bolts behind the header panel, undo the lamp and pull the whole headlamp and adjuster unit out in one piece. If you have examined the assembly, and noticed that the adjuster screws need replacement, here are the part numbers for those pieces:(2 for each headlamp)#E7SZ-13032-C ($5.44 ea.)(1 for each headlamp)#E7SZ-13032-D ($5.41 ea.)There is no need to buy the whole headlamp assembly since it will end up being far more expensive than purchasing the needed parts separately. To continue, you will see 3 twist locks on the back of the adjuster panel. Turn them to open (they are hard to turn, brittle, and may need replacement!) and the old plastic headlamp will separate from the adjuster plate. Re-install the new headlamp on the adjuster plate, twist the locks closed and bolt the unit in place. Re-install inner marker light and check the headlamp alignment and you can see at night again! It's a very easy repair and will make a 100% difference.That $45 price is dead on for the T-bird as well. Figures the Cougar ones would be almost 3 times the price:toilet: Quote Selected
Part # difference Reply #11 – March 06, 2008, 06:41:42 PM As I understand it the bucket and lens is complete with adjusters, ready to install... I Kinda screwed up on the first post... I'll go do a edit...BTW Adjuster parts should be avail individually...Quote from: V8Demon;207980That $45 price is dead on for the T-bird as well.

Part # difference Reply #13 – March 06, 2008, 07:52:44 PM Quote from: V8Demon;207992By bucket I mean the housing the bulb socket goes into...That's considered the lense assembly... Quote from: V8Demon;207992Different part # and price altogether on the Conti headlights....Eric stated on Cool Cats they were the same, at least he used to have that info (haven't looked lately)...Maybe it's just the lense assembly that's the same with a different mounting bracket...

Part # difference Reply #14 – March 06, 2008, 09:51:31 PM Upon a double-check it seems the Conti part #'s DO IN FACT MATCH. Guess I typed something in wrong the first time Here's the info if you type in these #'s under a Lincoln parts search:QuotePart Number: E8OY-13008-B Headlamps - Composite assy Composite assy, continental, left side 1988 - 1989 $222.32 Part Number: E8OY-13008-A Headlamps - Composite assy Composite assy, continental, right side 1988 - 1989 $231.10 Part Number: E8OY-13007-B Headlamps - Composite headlamp Composite headlamp, continental, left side 1988 - 1994 $132.68 Part Number: E8OY-13007-A Headlamps - Composite headlamp Composite headlamp, continental, right side 1988 - 1994 $129.52 Judging by this, it would seem the adjuster setup for the Conti was changed for the '90 model year, but the lens assembly remained the same.Still the ridiculous price:mad: Quote Selected
