      Default 1981 Mercury Tail Lights

      I currently have them on my 1983 Mustang. It's a custom job. They're aging and I need a new pair really badly. Does anybody know where i can get a new pair or one that is not very used/ perfect condition?

      No replacements, Only way to restore them is a pain, I polished mine with the nuvus system that eastwood sells. In 2 years I have one fully painted and assembled. I am missing one of the quarter panel/reflector weatherstrip pieces. The car has so many other problems, including its owner, that it is the slowest taillight restore ever...

      Oh, I love them or I would have never put them on there. It just sounded like that was what you meant to say is all.

      It has a full freaking chip missing out of it . So, restoring it is kinda out of the equation.

      Yeah, I don't even know what those babies go for now. I'd probably be willing to give someone at least a hundred bucks for a clean pair of them, assuming I wasn't getting ripped off. *sigh* oh well.
