I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

buy them for $30.  Sell or trade for the lights you need.  If they are in good condition, that is an outstanding deal.
