They do look good, but are supposed to be a bit of a royal pain
to install.

I looked them up and they say they fit perfectly in the original mounting points.
Therefore it should be just as easy as 3 piece.
I would wait for the opinion of someone who has them already though.

I put them in for a friend 6 months ago, didn't help that his headlight "header panel" or whatever the phuk its called that the headlights mount to, was tweaked alot abit. Would have been cake if it wasn't for that, oh, but aiming them sucked if i remember correctly, but that again may have been his bent up car not the lights

And if you get them, get the ones that "look" stockish, because i've seen some 1 and 3 piece ones out there that just look ugly ricerish.
I like my new 3 pieces, bone stock but crystal clear.

ive been asking around shops in seattle and they said that they all stop carrying them because of problems with them cracking because that is an area of the body that twists or something and that is why ford made them in a 3pc and that the one peice arent the best thing to have because you will have to replace them.any body know some more about this?

Some Mustangs they look good on. Others they dont look good. You can usually find a pair on EBay for about $100
