New Taillights Coming For My Pony April 20, 2010, 01:01:37 AM I have neglected my Pony so long while I have been working on the Bird so I decided it was time for a new gift for the Pony. And what a perfect gift I found...2010 styled taillamps made to fit the 2005-09 Mustang! Quote Selected

Does it have 2 reverse lights per side or is one of those a dummy?Thanks,KenI ordered them. They should be here in a couple of days.One of the reverse lights is a dummy, but I intend to remedy that. They do not have LED's so if you like that it's just a matter of using the usual LED bulbs instead of the incadescent ones. These taillamps are also offered in a smoked set too!http://www.americanmuscle.com/smoked-2010style-tailights-0509.html Quote Selected
New Taillights Coming For My Pony Reply #5 – April 20, 2010, 11:09:46 AM Thanks for the info-remember if you add an additional reverse light to the extra space make sure you put vents in it like the other bulbs have. Quote Selected

I suppose I will have to drill a small hole hear the top back of that section and just run a small piece of hose that will point downward sealed around the opening with a little bit of silicone.The thing I did notice about that section is that the inside of that section is significantly larger than the back-up section in depth which would indeed allow someone to put an amber turn signal bulb in it where they are sold in markets that require amber turn signals.Oh yeah it's kinda fun to have a few Mustang buddies over here on this forum!

New Taillights Coming For My Pony Reply #7 – April 21, 2010, 11:57:06 PM Got my new taillamps today! They are purdy and I love the details inside the lenses. I think I made a good choice! Pictures later when I can take them in the daylight!I have not wired up the dummy backup lamp sections to be functional yet. I was too excited and wanted to get them on. That is something I can do later when I have more time. It's so easy to remove these so I might as well enjoy them as is for a while. Quote Selected

New Taillights Coming For My Pony Reply #9 – April 22, 2010, 09:13:04 AM yeah do the sequential blinkers. I might be trading my 2009 Mazdaspeed3 in for a 2011 Mustang GT just to get those lights (LOL). Well I might as long as the Stang pulls as hard as my MS3 does Quote Selected

Some of the shapes I am not keen on like the kinked ends and the jagged shape of the bottom of the taillamps. I am more used to it now than I was when I first seen it. I also am not fond of the big black diaper on the bottom of the rear bumper. What I do like is the jewel like detailing of the taillamp lens and reflector housing and how they seperate the three sections more than just having thin dividing vertical lines. If you have ever noticed, the back-up lamps suggest the thin black inserts between the vertical bars on the taillamp bezels of the original 64 1/2-66 Mustangs.Anyway, I have had the sequential action on my Mustang for quite a while now. It was one of my first must haves. I always wanted them back when I had my 94 and 99 Mustangs but never went out of my way to afford them. I simply swapped the inner and center bulb sockets so that the outer and inner sections flashed and lit up with the brake lamps. Later I went in and wired the center sections exclusively so that they lit up only when the brakes were applied by tying it into the third brake lamp circuit. When I first got my 08 Mustang I simply swapped the inner and center bulb sockets and a while later I got the sequential kit.It is really hard for me to capture just the inner and center lit up only during the sequence as the flash sequence beats the multiple camera frame capture feature.

New Taillights Coming For My Pony Reply #14 – April 23, 2010, 11:28:49 AM Nice! You remember that song on Sesame Street? "One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong..."That's what I thought of when I saw the two Fords in your driveway with that red go-kart next to them. :D Quote Selected
