You need to take out the rear plastic panels to access the lights as if you were to change a bulb, then its just a matter of a couple of nuts on the back of each light assembly to remove and install LX one. It should be quick and easy replacement. Bulb housings should fit.

Either or. Depends on what you buy.

you can either buy the entire lens...new from aftermarket, or you can buy lens used.

or you can buy used entire housings.

Your choice

Where is a good place to happen on some of these? I'm actually looking to do an 86 swap on my 88 and I'm leaning towards used housings and new lenses to keep things fresh looking.

Latemodelresto.com has new reproduction or OEM Mustang tail light lenses!

I just bought the lens covers and a new weatherstripping kit from 50resto. Yanked the old one off and put the new ones in its place with the stripping and clips.
