Question 93 Cobra tail light question

I just bought an 89 GT and changing the tail light lenses. Apparently there are two versions of the SVO/Cobra lenses. One has black stripes and one has charcoal stripes. Can anyone tell me which color was used on the 93 model Cobra's?

Thanks for any help! Eric

Most of the lenses I have seen are charcoal. I think the black striped lenses are reproductions.

If you don't feel like spending $150+ on a set of real SVO/Cobra tails, get a set of 85-86 tails and some pinstriping from a parts store and make your own. Here's how mine look:

And here's the real thing on my old 85 1/2 SVO:

I ordered the Charcoal lenses. Guess I have a thing about authentic parts, I went ahead and spent the $160. on Ford part #'s.

Thanks for the info!
