i pulled my passenger tailight to put the nightshade on it....i was cleaning it outside on a table....i came inside to get some paper towels to dry it off and when i went back outside i saw it lying on the concret next to the table...we had wind all morning and figured that it knocked it off the table...well i picked it up and examined the tailight...just saw a small scratch on the lense....i figured when i put the nightshade tint on it it might not be noticable....after another close look i saw that a piece was broke off....so i figure i would just look for another set....well its not what i want, but i think they would look good....what do you think???

Euro does not belong on a Mustang.

End of story.

I say look for the 94-95 export spec. tails. They have the amber turn signal...like the 99+ cobras had with there tails. It keep with the horizontal 5.0 tail lights but something you do not see everyday. Lastly its not something that is 4.6 related or could be taken as rice. One of those if you know you dig the suttle touch.

They're not the worst-looking euros out there, but, just, no. It would be just wrong.

I don't think they're too bad, but if I were getting new tails in the 4.6 style, I'd grab a set of stock ones. Those are at least the best looking euro/altezza style aftermarket tails you can get, but still not my style.

If you dont get stock replacements, then definitely smoke them.

I dont like the vertical lights but just based on how yours look, I think those look ok (I'm not real trendy).

Good luck lookin for export lights. I've seen a couple pairs sold and they cost factors more than they're worth IMHO.

If you want stock style lights, guys on the Corral are always selling them for $35-50 (and more) plus shipping.

you dont see them often thats for sure...I really think that our tail lights are the "oem bumpers" of the new mustangs. Used 94-95 tails go cheap but new they are nuts $$$.

If you like the vertical look, I'd just say go with a set of 96-98 tails. But ya know, its your car and if you like those euro tails...go for it!

I think they look good. I also think if they came stock on mustangs, and no ricer's used the UGLY ass chrome housing tail lights, people would like them too. Its just the association that they are "euro" so they're ugly. But with that housing, on a block car, i think they'll look good.

But i prefer the "jewel" look that the stock 96-98 lights have. I wish our lights looked that way...with our horizontal lights that would be SWEET
