Default Tail light question???

Will 86 tail lights fit on the 87-93 cars? If so, do they bolt on directly or do they require modifications?

Yea, Im pretty sure because I think I remember looking in a magazine somewhere and they had a section for tailights and it say 84-86 & 93 Cobra Tail Lights.... or something like that.

I dont want to say for sure because Im not 100% positive but I think they will fit. Do you plan on buying them from a company? If so, I would just give them a call first and make sure that they will fit. And if you are buying them from someone or already have them just call a company that sells them and ask them anyway lol. I always do that.

yea i'm almost 99% positive they will interchange with no mods, and junk yard parts are the best deals, usually all they need is a good cleaning and maybe a bulb or two. Good looking mod!

83-84 had black trim, the 85-86 had gray trim, and the 84-86 SVO (later 93 Cobra) had the pin stripes
