Thanks guys. I wasn't even sure if this was the right forum for this, but I didn't see a Fox Body forum. I got a set w/ clear corners from e-Bay for $115 shipped.

Took about 7 days to get the lenses, 20 minutes per side to install all 3 lenses and forever to try to align them.
I drove around for several days with the driver’s side headlight scanning the upper branches of trees for squirrels, owls and UFO’s. The headlight lens had extra slack between the retaining clip and the screw head which allowed the lens to shift around. Fixed that with some small washers between the screw heads and the bottom of the mounting hole. I would recommend that you find 2 extra adjustment screws per side - they are the ones with the hex ends on the end of the screw where it sticks through the mounting plate. That may help the alignment problems, as the stock setup only allows adjustment with 2 screws, and is hard to adjust in and down at the same time.

If you bought Genuine Ford headlights, the adjustment will be easy. If you bought reproduction headlights, they will be very difficult to align properly. I bought reproduction units the first time, and my headlights could not be aligned: they would shine up in the trees and across the road. I even had all 3 screws set up as adjustment screws.

The second set of headlights I now have say "Ford" on them and they seem to line up properly.

I've always heard of people having a hard time aligning them correctly, but I didn't have any issues at all with these:

I highly recomend purchasing the real deal headlights.

I found some over at CJponyparts.com with real headlights for less then $200.

Makes me sure that the light output will be up to par.

Again, this is a department that is - you get what you payed for. Some are downright cheap to the bone and could not be or poorer quality. They also should be DOT approved as not all are.

From my understanding, 50resto sells some real quality headlight sets, both repro's and i've seen originals still for sale.

I ordered this set and only the headlights are genuine Ford parts. The side markers and parking lights are from a manufacturer in Asia. Of course if you read their advertisements closely, you'll see that they only say they have genuine Ford headlights. There's no mention of where the rest of the components come from.

Caveat emptor!
