First thing that came to my mind... Rice or nice?
Before:


After:





















Gonna let it sit for a bit and decide whether I want to keep em, black them out, or ebay them.

What do y'all think?

My old man likes em. Thinks it makes the car look more retro.. I don't know how, but okay!

<edit> What the crap is up with these forums an image tags.

Not a huge fan.  It's up to you though.

Of course, just haven't decided if I like them or not (oddly enough). Of all the things I've done to the stang, I've immediately liked them and can back them. I'd be damned if I take them off so soon though.

Need to get replacement bulbs for the stock fixtures. Just might go back to stock in a few months.

I was hoping they would look better, cause the price of them on ebay is about 1/2 of what it used to be..

why not
and ya if you type in the tags they mess up from time to time

sometimes its because in IE it makes the address a link using the url tag and those two (url and image) have an order they must be in if you want to make a picture link

other time other stuff messes with the image tag

Yep, I paid about $125 + shipping on eBay. They were like $200-$300 every where else, which was too much for an experiment.

I saw a thread about these same fixtures some time late last year and thought they looked pretty sharp on the silver stang I saw. The clear accent that spreads all the way across all three lights really set these off.

@Kara, yes the LEDs are much brighter than stock, but only if you're directly behind the car. From angle they're dimmer making the stock lights seem brighter.

IMHO rice.
And the stock taillights were not
good enough to begin with how?
Were you getting rear ended a lot
with the OEM taillights and you
needed to try something different?
Just not likin it but hey its your car....

You know how it is, there's nothing wrong with the car, but we like to personalize. These practically look stock, except for when they light up. One of my stock bulbs blew out, and I like the instant on/off of LEDs, so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to experiment. At the very least, if I don't like it, I can switch back to stock and buy a replacement bulb.
