Yes, but why would you want too?
IMHO the 83-86 and 93 Cobra tail lights are the best looking Fox tail lights!
But, YES you can install 87-93 tail lights onto your 86 Mustang. The 83-93 Mustang housings are all the same, just the lenses changed over the years. Good Luck!

I agree with Trey......heck I replaced the tails on my 88 LX to 85-86 LX tails. But yeah, bolt on and go.

Yea - cobra and SVO tail lights are very similar to the 83-86. I've always preferred the them over the 87-93 or 79-82 or "cheese grater" 87-93 GT lights
I picked up some 84 SVO re-pops for my 86GT and gave my original 86 lights to my son for his convertible.
Some idiot had removed his buckets and put some sort of ricer looking lights on his convertible. Might be ok on a boy racer car but they were terrible on his. We sourced factory buckets from the u-pull-it and did a crap load of cleaning and polishing and painting to fully recondition everything. His look nice and are now correct.
I never liked 87-93 LX tail lights, they always seem too dark and a bit dull. and contrary to 99.9% of Aero Car owners, I actually love the cheese graters on the GTs. (87-93 of course)
On our 4Eye Cars, the SVO tail lights look great, together with the Capri 79-82 tail lights.
Contrary to most here, I like the look of the 87-93 LX lenses. They are a direct swap, just remember to use amber bulbs for the turn signals...
Keep in mind, if you remove just the lenses and don't change the whole housings, it is nearly impossible to ever get the lenses to seal tight against the housings like they did from the factory. As far as function, they function 100% and the housings are the same. It's just the way the clips work that hold them from the factory. It is extremely hard to get them back like they were flush against the housings.
