That's exactly why I've kept them. Believe me, I've had people ask about them, lol. For now though, those LX lights are my favs. 83-86 (or SVO/93 Cobra) is my second fav. Cheese graters come in at third. The 79-82 and the Capri lights aren't awful... but I'd never use them on this car.

LOL @ cheese graters

They don't look bad imo, could take or leave them.

They look Mustang.

These are my favorite Foxbody taillights.



Had I ended up with an '82 GT (I still want one), these would have gone on it in a heartbeat.

EDIT: I remember this ad campaign like it was yesterday - https://testdrivejunkie.com/1982-ford-mustang-gt-commercial-the-boss-is-back-2/

I'm not sure if this link will work, but look at what my friend did with Capri lights:

And a small sample of one of the many variations I've seen him do with LX lights:
