Taillight covers

[mustang351]

I am new to the SN 94-95 cars and just recently purchased a 95Gt. Anyways I am wondering how the plastic bars that loop around the taillight come off because I want to paint them. Does the hole taillight have to come out?

Thanks, Chris

yea the whole light comes out and i dont think you can take just that part off....either that or theres only certain years that do come off

Well how does the taillight come out because I cant find any bolts,nuts,or screws.

open your trunk... take out the liner that faces into the trunk space (it's held in by these T shaped screw things) once you removes these screws the back piece comes out and the bolts for the taillights are right behind it. Hope that helps - i think there's a total of 3 or 4 bolts per light.

The 94-95 taillights have no bezel... The outer lense is one piece.. Unless you have S351 Bezels.

All right thanks Ill go and try to take them out, If I have any more problems then I come and post. Thanks again

you have to remove the whole tail light and tape the red lens and spray paint the plastic bars for best results. i used krylon fusion satin black and this is what you have when you finish...

Do you think that the bars painted black on a white car would look good because thats the color of my car. I personally think it will look good because it will break the color up a little.

It would look good... I'm going for the opposite look.. I'm looking for a set of s351 bezels to paint the same color as my car.. Laser red btw...
I wish i still had my 95' vibrant red gt though..

repost on 5.0 talk and ask someone to photo chop my lights onto a pic of your car or one similar..

 

[mustang351]

Sadly my windows are not tinted at this moment, but most likely soon will be. Well thanks everyone for your help. Also think you bill302 for the pic, atleast I have an idea now and Im liking it too.

yea i just did this last weekend..there are 5 bolts..i used krylon fusion and the some clearcoat after and it turned out great.. i would say KEEP the taillights white they look sweet as hell on a white car IMO. i think the black would look kind of trashy on a white car

94-95 were one piece and 96-98 when they were the vertical style were removable bezels I think but I could be wrong.

its 4 bolts per light...12mm deep sockets to remove them.

I was able to take all of mine off with my hand. The little rubber thing on it made it slide really easy.

 

[mustang351]

Well everyone I painted them today at the school and I really like them, it makes the whole back of the car look way better. I used 3 coats of gloss black and 3 coats of clear.

If someone could tell me how to put pics on here I would gladly do it. I have a digital camera. I have been wanting to know how to do this for a while now.
