I think this stuff is discontinued, but I wanted to check with you first.
1)Headlight housings for '97 VIII - no bulbs needed, just want new clear ones as mine are all foggy from 140K use. Should fit the original HID lamps.
2)Neon Center Lamp for '97 VIII (not LSC). Mine has mold inside. Want a new one that looks decent.
3)Headliner for '97 VIII (beige color). Mine is all ripped up.

I know the rear center lamp is gone. I think I saw a thread on cleaning the lamps - might have been on the Lincolns of Distinction site.
Any good trim shop can do the headliner for about $300 - more if you have a moon roof.
Headlights, not sure I think the replacements (non HID conversions) are only available in the full kit for under $600.
Max will correct me if I am wrong, and as my wife says - that is most of the time.

Thanks Frat. I'll look for more cleaning stuff, I've tried some things but I haven't been very successful. Didn't think about the trim shop, I'll give that a shot.

I always used 3M rubbing compound an a wool padded buffer for the headlights.
Worked well, but would need to be redone after a few months.

new headlights are 341.00 and cost you 245.74 each. Maguiers sells a plastic cleaner and a plastic polish for about 10.00 each and that will clean lenses and convertable top plastic windows clear as crystal!! http://www.superiorcarcare.net/meg1710botpr.html
This is a link for the product. I have used it for years on my tracker convert. top and headlights. IT WORKS!! just remember you are removing the outer layer of plastic and it will not last as long as it did before.
The headliner...like Frat says
the neon...no luck
