    I am sure this has been done before, but before I start on installing 69 Cougar tail lights, can any body warn me of possible problems.

    all i can say is measure and measure again. i measured plenty of times, before i made even one cut. i also took the little chrome pieces off. i think it looks much better

    Not bad looking, don't know if I'd do it as I like my comet lights. But I think the sequential light thing is pretty cool.
