Title: Taillight clips
Post by: Quietleaf on June 24, 2007, 10:53:50 PM
A couple of the metal clips on the driver's side taillight on my '87 T-Bird are broken and the taillight has a hard time staying put. Anyone have a couple they can sell?

Maybe for 83-86 clips. I would expect all 87-88 clips to be the same (part of them wraps around the plastic of the bulb enclosure and a small forked tongue in the center grabs the lens enclosure, and it's the tongue that breaks off)

SO you want the tail light bulb pigtail. Head on over to the parts store. You can get new ones there. I sell them all the time. Just make sure you take yours to compare. I know at work we sell them in Borg Warner and Calterm brands. You could also check the BWD site to see if they can give you the number. Here is the link http://www.bwdautomotive.com/ Maybe you can find what you are looking for.

OK, I still tell you the parts store they should be able to get them in Dorman or Disco brand. Maybe even the Dorman/Help stuff.

I already PM'ed gumby with my address so hopefully I'll be okay now, but thanks for the offer. I've snapped quite a few of them over the years.
