[V8] Wagon taillights

[Buchholz, Steven]

... before you get too far along ... perhaps the reason the V8 Avant did
not use the V8 taillights is that the T44 Avant uses different lenses
from the T44/T4C sedan.  Taillights from a sedan will not just bolt
right in on an Avant ... I think the Avant taillights are the same units
used on the 4000 ...

I too am planning to install the red lenses on the back of my Avant ...
from my quick look it appears that all that needs to be done is to hack
away some of the frame of the sedan units ... it might be best to figure
out how to do the mods on a set of standard 5kCSQ taillights ...
