American Muscle Chrome Cobra Headlights
I received a set of chrome cobra style headlights from American Muscle. The lights can be found here Chrome Cobra Style Headlights (94-98 All) . They were delivered VERY fast. I'm not far from American Muscle but honestly I didn't expect them to get to my door so fast. They were well packaged looked great out of the box.
I sealed them with some silicone as suggested on the site. The install was fairly simple the hardest part was getting my old lights out. The new ones just popped into place. Here's some pics and a quick how to for the install.

Install:
For the install I followed the direction posted on American Muscle's website. They were posted by a customer but were great to follow. You can find them on the same page as the lights but I'll give ya a quick run down.
1.Remove the nut holding the corner light. This is found under the flap above the headlight.
2. Remove the corner light. This might take some wiggling to loosen it up.
3. Unplug the bulb connector
4. Remove the metal clip. These are on the top outside corner of both headlights.
5. There are plastic tabs that hold the lights in place. This is the worse part of the whole deal. There is one below where the metal clip was, and one on the other side of the light. You have to press the tabs in and work the light to get it to pop out. Be careful you can get crazy with this and scuff up your paint.
6. Using your old headlight as a guide. try to get the alignment screws as close as possible.
7. Install new light. Make sure it's lined up with the tracks and holes. When it's all lined up apply pressure till it pops into place
8. Install new corner light. these also have metal posts that need to be aligned with holes. Reinstall the nut and your set.
Here is a shot of the driver side completed.
The other side is done the same way. After your done stand back and enjoy your work!
All in all it was a pretty simple install. The lights look great on my car. I'm very happy with them. The bulbs that come with them seem to have more of a clear/blue/green (kinda hard to explain) tint to them compared to the old ones. I'll have to try to find bulbs that will match to swap into my fogs. They shine great though and would definitely recommend them if your looking for new lights.
