hello i am new with a 95 xr7

95 XR7--  I am looking for the exterior courtesy light covers , they fit between the quarter window and the metal molding at the door. I am unfamiliar with the different body styles and options for a cougar and want to know where I need to look for more information.
  would it be worth it to get a factory manual?. What i have now is a Chilton 83-97 t-b and cougar. I have worked on cars for over 40 yrs and dont have a problem buying a quality reference book, up until now i have stayed with GM-MOPAR-VOLVO-BMW and have no good info for this car. any help?
                                                Thanks Rick M

The opera lamps you have are aftermarket. I don't know of any suppliers but generic opera lamps are plentiful on eBay. Should just need to measure yours and compare the dimensions to the one you find. Hope that helps.
