What the hell is a GT cobra??


It would help if you told us what year your car is. BTW, GT's and Cobras have the same headlights as the V6 so no modification is needed. Just direct swap.

But if they aren't lining up, then no idea what is wrong. Are they aftermarket?

Yeah what is a GT Cobra? Slap a saleen sticker for extra HP and confusion.

You should not have to drill holes, just remove the clips and swap them out. I replaced the lights on my 96 with clear lens also. It's a good look!

headlights are about the simplest thing to change. Again it depends on the year of your car, but on the 99-04 there are only two pins that hold each headlamp assembly in. I believe its almost as simple for the 94-98.

I hope you got the 2 cylinder add on kit with those GT Cobra lamps!
