Eric is correct.....this is what i recall....'83-'84 - Reverse lamp in center of taillights.'85-'86 - Reverse lamp on inner edge of taillights.83-84 lights are identical except for ornamentation. 83-84 Cougar lights will fit exactly as will 85-86 T-bird and Cougar lights. They all use the same mounting, just like the different styles of Mustang lights from 79-93. Quote Selected
