They may not be exactly like the Cobras but at least they'll look better than the cheese graters.

they will fit, no mods

83-84 had black trim, the 85-86 had gray trim, and the 84-86 SVO (later 93 Cobra) had the pin stripes
+1
And by the way, any year from 79-93 will fit on any foxbody, no mods required.

Thats not true. The earlier lights witht he vertical bars will not fit. 79-82 or 83 will not fit all foxes. Other the other years are interchangable though.

EDIT: If you did want those ugly (IMO) lights from the early foxes they will fit but you have to mod the taillight panel. and vise-versa for the later tails.

Well, I called my local salvage yard and they told me they had a set of taillights off an 83-86 Mustang but they weren't specific which year they were. So I go up there and wait about half an hour for the guy to bring them to me only to find out they had been busted out and were no good [:@]. Oh well
