The problem is, as the 94/95 Tail lights age, they look hideous! They are very difficult to mask off before painting them and just generally a PITA! I do like a nice, clean set of 94/95 tails over 96-98's any day of the week. Ford just figured out how to make a nice, clear tail light in 96 and not in 94. About 90% of all 96-98 tail lights you find in the salvage yard still look like brand new. And with it's removable bezel, there's no masking to fiddle with and usually they are so clear you don't even have to buff them out!
The aftermarket could easily repop our tail lights but for some reason they won't. So we are doomed to either buy some NOS tails for insanely high prices or settle on the verticals, which is what I have done. I'm not offended in the least. People still know my car is a 5.0. The sound coming from the exhaust is all I need to identify my car, there is no 4.6 that can duplicate it. Comes close, but not the same.
I do think any 5.0 badge on an SN95 looks ghetto!
