It's an old photoshop I did of the cougar and I love the way it looks, I'm just curious to know if anyone can get tailights made... (Eric?)
Yea, I don't know what I would do for reverse lights, thats my only problem...

I called/emailed around to a few aftermarket euro taillight places, and couldn't find anything.
Having stuff custom made gets ugly fast. It shouldn't be too hard to get some spare lenses and graft them together. Try a paint and body supply for the right kind of glue (actually "cement").
As for reverse lights, maybe you could mount a fog light or two under the bumper. Factory reverse lights are never bright enough.
See the reverse lights would probably negate the whole smooth rear/clean look I'm going for.
Pop-ups? That would have a vaguely historical symmetry.
Mounted inside next to the 3rd brake light?
Bumper cutouts?
I think the pop-ups would be way to much work and I think they would look goofy on the rear.
I don't think the bumper cut-out idea would work to well either.
The mounted inside next to the third brake light sounds interesting, but would it be legal?
Relocating the reverse lights, dunno. Shouldn't be more difficult than a call to the local authorities.
I would mount a really small set of fog lights under the bumper, or behind the red lens where the factory back-ups are.... the fog lights would be bright enough to work, it would just be a red glow to it...
Im pretty sure the it would be illegal to have a red tint on the reverse lights, but I will be checking into the laws around here.
