Hi, I am looking at swapping out my tailights on my 65 fastback for the long shelby/cougar/t-bird looking tailights. What year should I be looking for and what all is needed (bezel, lens, housing, gaskets). I have seen some for a 67 but I thought the 67 mustang (don't know about the cougar) had a concave tailight panel so I don't know how that works on the flat 65 tailight panel. I realize that I will need to cut the tailight panel, so that is really not a problem. I saw a right up tht used 3 65 tailight housing each side and the t-bird bezel. I would eventually like to go with the sequential lights but for now just the tailights. What have other done. thanks

www.mustangproject.com has a kit that uses repro 65 t-bird taillights lenses and bezels and sequential lighting but it bolts right up to the car without cutting. by the time you're done getting the lenses, bezels, and housings for the t-bird then cutting the body and wiring the lights you'd be much better off getting their kit to begin with and you won't be damaging your car in the process. just my opinion
 
I agree w/bnickel on the taillights. Shelby Sequential and LEDs without cutting your car.:nice:
