Mike,
Try to restore your lights. Do the wetsand and compound trick on 'em.
PM me for details.

Zach,

been there, done that many times over. Perhaps Ill pick up a second set from a junkyard and just remove the lense, clean em up inside, and polish the plastic too. Guess I was just looking to try something new.

I have some ideas, but they involve making other headlights fit, not making "new" ones... Just have to take a bunch of measurements and get planning.

If anyone is looking for lights for a 87/88 cougar I have a full set; front inside markers, front outside markers, taillights, rear side markers. 10 peices in total. Headlights look good (no yellowing)
 
 $10 each plus shipping.
 
 Pictures of the car before I sed it are here. I can get pictures of the lights out of the car if you need them. lmk

If you still have the inner markers after Christmas, I'd probably be interested.  Mine are cracked and my new headlights make them look even worse (thanks again Zach)
