No, 83-84 and 85-86 are specific. You can modify an 85-86 style to work in an 83-84 housing, but its more trouble then its worth, unless your going to do both sides.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

i would have already did the 85-86 setup if both were messed up and then been able to drive my cougar. but instead i stuck trying to find the hardest tail light around a stock driver side tail light.

I saw a decent light at the junkyard today.  I wasn't sure if you still needed one but I can go grab it if you do.  I'll post a pic in a bit.
