tail lights

is there anything i can do for my tail lights on my 86 t bird other than blacking them out? i just got done painting the grill and headlight bezels- its looking good, just dont like the rear tails all that much. i saw mods on the coolcats site but they are for cougars

should already be blacked out. basically at least. I guess you could always throw in 83-84 lights.

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.

may be paint the inside alittle to give it a smoked look then buy so LED light squares and convert them over it a simple yet original mod that i have never seen. if i had a bird i would like to do that. you can put two or three smaller squares and they would just replace stock look with LED or do one long block of um. your choice but it would be awsome.
