Yes, Yes it does. I like that look on the tail lights but how visible are they from a distance?

I didn't know your car had side pipes... Pretty sweet.  You should take the T-Bird emblem out, bondo in the hole and stick a C-Pillar Cougar emblem there.

As I'm looking at the back lights, a thought just popped up.
Is it possible to somehow use the center strip as a running light and the lens around it as brake and turn signal only lights?
mabe LEDs somehow inside the center strip?

ya know that would be sweet but i think that would requir adding 4 more light sockets 2 on top and 2 on bottom pluse the center ones ..also u would half to close the center bar off from the inside so all the lights dont run together so id say it may be plauseable

What are the dimensions of that center trim piece in the tail light?

daminc,

I think it would be easy* to do  without adding light sockets if you used LEDs.  You might have to modify or ditch the back half of the light, and maybe modify the lense.  I haven't had one apart so am not sure what they look like.  Maybe you could use something like this

down the middle for running lights, and use the factory incandescent configuration for the brake lights.

I was looking at the tail lights and I think it will be real easy to do.
I didn't realize that the strip in the middle was painted on. It'll buff right off. It should work OK with the LEDs from that site. just have to cut the back of the lens off to work inside. Mabe when I take them out In a couple of weeks I'll fiddle with them. Should probably keep the side lens as a driving lamp also
