do not buy from pro car parts.com they are a rip off, they are really bad with shipping and all, but u should just get em off ebay.com u can get em for like 50 shipped good luck
I went to ebay and procarparts are selling them for 50 but if you go to there website they are selling them for 59.00 i think im going to look around the net for 96-97 lights . I quess im going to get the whole front light anyway..
bought from ProCarParts.com last night, corners were only $39.99 but then they tag on $3.30 tax and $13.90... I think the S&H is a bit much but it is easier then spending weeks hunting for $5
but the 94-95 corners are the same as the 93 and earlier according to procarparts.com. I was also under the assumption that they were the same at the factory...but if they don't fit...maybe ford puts slightly different ones on the 94-95's.
Lemme see some pictures of the gap, sound interesting.
ha ha ha ... this weekend I learned the following:
Bottles of beer, 460 BBF cast iron exhaust manifolds, and power slides don’t go together very well. I had the beer and manifolds in the trunk and forgot they were there…. It was a nice power slide though! Oh well the trunk needed cleaning anyway!!!
First time in months buying beer and I have to ruin 3 bottles… Talk about alcohol abuse..
You will notice the small mismatch between the corners and the headlights. But what I found out is that even the OEM has a large gap between the bumper and the lamp. Just not as noticeable. The Clears are only about 1/4 shorter than OEM.
What do you guys think? Keep the Clear or install new OEM?
I like the clear corners, but the mismatch is really bugging me!
When taking the passenger side off I found out why, the lense was held on by just a bit of sealant along the bottom.. popped right off when I dropped it (oops). The clears were cheaper than the stockers. I got mine from SCPerformance.
I had the same gap in mine. I adjusted the bolts to make the bottom gap smaller and make the housing sit more in the middle. You have to really look to notice it though.
I bought the new headlamps because mine were yellow. But the second I put them on, I called procarparts to get clearcorners, because the stock corners looked very bad. The clear part of the stock corners looked very yellow compared to the new lights, and looked mismatched completely. Here's some pics of the finished product, very nice.

My next tbird will get the same treatment, and a hid conversion for sure.
There are so many technicalities out there when it comes to DOT legality. Clear corners in general are not dot legal, nor are many aftermarket headlamp assemblies used on cars every day.
The xenon charged bulbs I am running now, are not dot legal.
Nor, are the foglamps on my VW Jetta.
Practically any headlight assembly used overseas, and not used in the united states is not DOT legal.
Technically, it would not be DOT legal to put xenon bulbs from a lincoln mark 8 in your thunderbird because your vehicle was not originally equipped with those bulbs.
When its a question of safety, I will use approved DOT parts. When it is not, I will not.

Now that is a lot of money to spend on something that isn't DOT legal.
Hey now, HID's work really well with our headlights especially since our beam pattern is very sporty if you know what i mean. Don't get a high color temp though, just got pulled over. Nothing over 5400k!!! when the cop pulled me, in no way did he complain about blindness or incorrect beam angle.
