I am looking for headlights for my 1989 GT with clear side markers and a lot of websites seem over priced.
I have already checked LMR and American Muscle.
I need the whole assembly and weatherstripping.
Thanks.

Iam looking too and those sites represent average prices. You might save $10-$15 some where else, but all the lights I found looked like they should be on a space ship.

Don't let price be what determines which ones you get. If you go with the cheapest, you'll get the ones that fill with water the first time it rains or you wash it.
I also say you shouldn't have to use any silicone on new lights to seal them either. That means poor quality, how much of a bargain are they when they haze over and turn yellow? If you intend on keeping it a while, it deserves the best you can afford.

Drove down to UPR (I didn't even know it was in my area) and they had some clears in stock.
Spent a little more than what I should have but the quality is very good.

PLEASE let me know how they work when you aim them. My 1989 LX has a set of clear headlights and side light, and the focus sucks.

I have to keep the ends near the center of the vehicle out about 1/2 inch to aim them properly. I posted something here a while ago about that.

By the way, I know this is the aftermarket lights because I subbed in a old OEM Ford light and it aligned perfectly with the other lights and hit the road in the correct spot. I have not bought replacement lights yet because I'm not so sure what is the equal of OEM.

Please tell me if those you bought hit the road in the correct spot while not looking misaligned with the center and outer lights!!! I'm dying to get rid of the POS clear lights I have. I'd rather have them fill with water than look so out of adjustemnt when aimed properly.

UPR has high quality stuff.....

and if you have any problems they will stand behind it.....

FYI Blow-By-Racing is close to you also......
