Tail lights
 

I have an 86 mustang GT. I was wondering if the tail lights from an 87-93 mustang gt would fit on her without doing any troublesome things

They will go on with no problems at all. I have taillights from a 85 on my 89. Taillights from 79 to 93 are all interchangeable.

Highflow,did you have to change the hole light assembly or just the lens?

I was able to snag the whole assembly from a junk yard, so they went in as easy as the old ones came off.

all i had to do was swap the lenses

Lx lights
 

I've never really understood why alot of people want to go on and put LX taillights on their 5.0's? I mean..if they're already LX's..i can see...and..if they wanna look like a saleen...get some pinstriping :D But..for the GT's...i've always believed the louvered lights...make it a 5.0...just my .02's..any comments?

I aggree with rosco, the lx tail lights are cool, but I like my GT lenses. The only Draw back is that even though they are brand new, the paint on them still always seems to look faded. I wonder if you could paint them, and not mess up the lenses and reflectors.

LOL

I had the '88 GT lenses.. then spent $$ for the cobra lights, and now they're covered with light covers. Go figure!!
I like the Cobra ones the best. I've been thinking of taking the covers off for a while, but I just love that black and white look!

Actually there is a way to paint your rear louver lights silly :) you just gotta make sure you tape the lenses good...and...well that's all really..just make sure you get a good seal. I'm not sure what you could apply to them..something thick maybe that would prevent paint from becoming adhesive on the lense? Maybe some Vasoline or a gel of some sort? I don't do painting..so I really wouldn't know that. I found that out because I went and got my car an estimate to get painted...and he told me how they'd do that. Neato huh?

Hey kahmi_ui. Would you be interested in selling your '86 tail lights. I sent you a private message, but in case you don't read it, my emails are rmariani@leproduct.com and/or rpm794@aol.com. Let me know if the lights are in good shape and if you would be interested in selling them. Thanks!!

Painting tail lights is very easy! I had to paint my cobra lights cause they were faded really bad! Just use masking tape to cover the lens and a exact-O knife to trim the tape. I used a black laquor to paint them, and it looks really good now!

Hey RMARIANI, you can't find cobra style lights in a junkyard anywhere? There are a few yards here that have cars with them, and a really GREAT junkyard in Worchester (I think thats how you spell it). That's where I got mine for, I think they were $25 bucks per light.
