    Jim, the 65 T-Bird lights are the exact lights I have in my car. That's the same tail lights Shelby used in the 68-70 Shelby.

    The panel I used is a reproduction panel for the 68 Shelby. You can buy it from Tony Branda Performance. www.cobranda.com
    I had to do a lot of trimming but it winded up molding in very nicely.
