Product Description
Ford Thunderbird 2002-2006 Stainless Headlight Accent Trim, 2 Pieces (HL43670)
HL43670 is a pair of polished stainless headlight accents for the Ford Thunderbird, model years 2002 through 2006, listed for both the 2-door Coupe and Convertible on one five-year Fitment row. The catalog states plainly where they go: the trim installs onto the top of the headlights. Both Thunderbird pieces are 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. The Thunderbird accents use 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to stay put.
Because the pieces mount on the top of the lamps, the surface you're bonding to is the headlight itself rather than painted bodywork. That surface needs to be clean, dry and free of any coatings that are peeling or flaking. If the tops of your headlights are crazed, cracked or heavily weathered, deal with that before installing, since the tape can only hold to a sound surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle, and the trim installs directly over the existing surface with no drilling.
To install, clean the tops of both headlights with soapy water, rinse, dry completely, and then wipe with a degreaser. Use the product photos to tell the two pieces apart. Hold each in place with its liner on, check that it follows the top edge of the lamp evenly, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the piece on its marks, and press firmly along its full length. Do the second piece the same way, then view the car from straight ahead to make sure both match before giving each piece a second firm press. The Installation tab has more detail.
The Thunderbird sheet lists ten other parts for the coupe and convertible. Up front, SG43670 is a one-piece front grille accent trim. ML43670 is an eight-piece surround ring package that the catalog says includes the door handles, fog lights, and front and rear marker lights. Three door sill sets differ only in their cutouts: DS43670 has no cutout, DS43671 includes a logo cutout, and DS43672 includes a DTR cutout, each two pieces. WS43670 is a two-piece window sill set, and TH43668 is an eight-piece body side molding accent kit at 0.75 inches. TH43669 and TH43670 are listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
Polished 304 stainless gives the headlights a bright upper edge, and 26 gauge keeps the pieces slim. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight before washing. Clean afterward with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads.
Two quick checks before ordering. Check the year, since the row runs 2002 through 2006, and look at the tops of your headlights in person to be sure they're in good condition for tape. If the surround ring package or a grille accent is planned, fitting the headlight pieces first gives a reference point for the rest of the front. Questions about fit or the sill cutouts?

Installation tips: Head Light Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
