It would be a lot cheaper and easier to sell your car and buy a 98&up you can get them just as cheap as your 92. I bought my 03 for 2500.1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

Would it look better if you just bought some new headlights for it? That always helps on those years...

Yes, they look much better with new headlamp assemblies.

yeah... don't need to use the driving/fog lights to see any more... but we still use them anyhow since it lights up the road near the car that much better.

I've never seen anything other than OEM design headlight assemblies for panthers. The ones on my 93 are OEM look. I got them from RockAuto (see ad banner at top and bottom). If you want something different... you're gonna have to build it yourself.

If they're all faded and nasty, you can use a rubbing compound, then polish, then wax to re-finish the headlights. Same for all the other lights, though headlights make the biggest difference. There are also "headlight restoration" kits sold in the detailing aisle of most parts stores. Figure on under half an hour for each light and saving a ton of money over buying new

I cleaned my assemblies on my 97 Grand Marq, but they were still bad on the inside. I ended up buying new ones on the bay for $160 delivered total.
