96-98 tails on a 95

[SlammedGT]

I tried to do a search but I couldnt find it... i msure its been talked about before.. but do the 96-98 tails just plug right in or is it a different harness.. Thanks

they plug in just fine.. I've had them on two previous 94 stangs. just remember to get the plastic piece also, most of the time you can get the harness just in case for no extra cost

[Zero Signal]

Ohhh, oops I thought you were putting the chrome ones ON the car. . .man I read that so wrong. Ok good man.

haha yes, someone going back to the stock tailights

 

[SlammedGT]

haha, I have owned this car for about 8 months, and I swear I have changed the tail light bulbs 100 times.. I have to buy red bulbs and they just burn off after awhile

The '96 and later tail lights do not go on our cars. Sure, they might plug right in. But they definitely do not belong on there.

Why don't you just install an LS1 in your Stang??? Or better yet, a V-Tec!!!

did you read any of this thread?

 

[GRGT1994]

Dude, I wasn't ragging on you. You are going the RIGHT direction. I was ragging on the idea of putting vertical taillights on our cars to begin with.

Did you read any of my post?

 

[SlammedGT]

Should I not have done the Fox TB conversion with a '93 cobra intake since it's the ugle elbow with clearance issues that show's it's an SN95? Give me a break? 96-98 lights are more true to the mustang heritage than the sideways lights that Ford slapped on our cars.

I put '96-'98 tails on my 1994 GT 'cause I liked the look and the heritage reason. I kept the originals in a box with the harness in case I ever decide to go back. Besides, I personalized my car with OEM Ford parts, not ghey altezzas.

Any of you '94-'95 purists want to buy my Tri-bars? They're the "factory" look for your GT?








didn't think so.

Stop the can't we just agree that we love our Mustangs and have a beer?

I couldn't have said it better myself. When you think mustang you think vertical, the 99 to 05 all have vertical the classics had vertical. So vertical is not such a horrible thing. Geez the way you people talk its like were putting altezzas on.

I kept my horizontals for 2 reasons:

1) I personally think the horizontals give a wider look to the rear when compared to the verticals. That's just a basic design theory...horizontal lines make things look wider, vertical lines make things look either taller or, in a mustang's case, narrower.

2) I want people to know it's a 94-95 without telling them.

It's all personal preference in the end.

The 96-98 tailights look WAY better than the 94-95s. When I start modifying the looks of my car that'll be one of my first choices.
