    I have seen 68s with all-chrome taillight bezels, and black-out edges. Which is right? Or was it an early/late thing?

    The all chrome is for the 68's which match the all argent tail panel. That was the factory intention. I am sure there was a small number of the regular 65 T bird black and chrome that may have gotten overlooked by mistake. The 69/70 with it's black tailpanel gets the half black half chrome. Bob

    the old part number is s8ms...these are all chrome, the service part is the 1965 Thunderbird part with a c5 part number. That one has the black paint. A little acetone will make these correct :)
