Seems to me that this type of question pops up once every few months over getting the 96-98 taillights for the 5.0's. I think its time to let everyone see the majority vote on the topic since there's always opposing sides.

odds are the poll will be swayed to the 94-95 side because thats the forum you are in. Try another poll in the 4.6 96 up section.........then compare the two..

The reason why Im only posting this in the 5.0 section is to show that the majority of 94-95 owners like to keep the horizontal taillights. Rather than making a fobra or faleen type of thing.

I have the 96-98 tail lights. They were on the car when i bought it.. I think they look better then the horizontal ones. But sometimes i think i would rather have the horizontal ones cause everyone thinks my car is a 4.6. Even though it says 302 on the hood. When i tell dumb people its a 5.0, they are like whoa you changed the 4.6 to a 5.0??

When they first came out, I would have killed to have those lights, then I realized that they look more "classy" and not so much "sporty" if you know what I mean.

My Vote: HORIZONTALS!

All you gotta due is wet sand the lights with 1000 grit, then buff them out really hard with Turtle Wax Polishing Compound.!

I am doing it right now. I started out at like 400, and I am slowly making my way up to 2000. They should turn out pretty clean once I am done. I will put a clear coat on top of them once they are all done.

In the name of science, I have started a poll in the 4.6L talk forum . It should be as skewed in favor of 96-98 as this one is skewed in favor of 94-95.

94-95!! the only nice thing about the 96-ups is that you can install sequential blinkers.

The horizontal lights look great especially w/ the car lowered and some big meats on the back! The horizontal lines really flow with the rest of the car.

When I bought my Stang , I buy with one tail lights broken , so I have choice , 94-95 , 96-98 or clear tail lights ,
Than I make decision , my car isn't Honda ( no clear tail l.) , I have 302 (no 96-98)
Then I bought on Ebay pair 94-95 tails , I put some black paint on bazel ( looks almost like Saleen), than two times with clear coat

And some people gonna say "damn ,thats last year for 302"
