39Mustang Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Installed the Raxiom taillights last night and they look great! Was concerned about them being smoked but the led lights light up so much brighter and overall a huge improvement over the RED lenses. Next will be the headlights as any of you know with the 05-09 Mustangs the factory headlights are not very bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I forget, installation was probably the easiest thing you can ever do! unscrew and pop out then put new ones in and screw in that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not my cup of tea but, one, it is your car and, two, it does appear to be a quality set up. I would not have guessed you could get the brightness you have. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have guessed you could get the brightness you have. Jim I was hesitant about doing it because I don't like the look of smoked taillight or headlight lenses but have to admit now its much better looking at because the factory lenses are really Red! The brightness you get on backup lighting is amazing but can't take that pic my myself. I'll take another pic at pitch dark to really show how bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT NAJA Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 39Mustang, New tail lights look great! They're one of the many things I like about my 13 302LS, and you're correct about the backup lights... blinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39Mustang Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Awesome upgrade .... share more pics when you get a chance. first is head lights then brake lights then backup lights so bright is an understatement I was about 10 ft behind it with an iphone camera so the camera makes it looking blinding but its not. 1,000 times better lighting then factory so for sure changing the headlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt1864 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like the lights, but only if the car has a full black back panel, don't work for me. Ford designers painted that panel black on the 13 for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I love them. Hope that they come out with a 10'-12' version so I can swap a 12' Bumper onto my 14' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve.Madrid Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great mod, thanks for sharing. I have been going between this and another Raxiom LED taillight set that looks OEM for my '08. I like the look of the '13 style but it seems out of place on this generation of car. I will definitely go back thru your pictures and make a decision.

stkjock Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I had the one of the first sets on a Shelby, I was a AM "tester" not embedded pics by intent - bandwidth issues http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/stkjock/90fd0e5b-159f-410f-9793-27db5534a15b_zps39301602.jpg http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/stkjock/94684145-0a7c-41b8-8430-2542a5ffb55f_zpsbe52a4f9.jpg http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/stkjock/IMAG1783_zpsed893448.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCjBZvcpcgk&list=UUZ1dXERA-qgrAhIxyv4iLPA&feature=shareet.com/albums/tt140/stkjock/IMAG1783_zpsed893448.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I had the one of the first sets on a Shelby, I was a AM "tester" If they already make and sell an improved assembly for the 10-12' MYs, Do you know why they won't do the LED version for those? .

Rattlesnake Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 These lights look nice for the 05-09 Mustangs. I wonder why the center lights for brakes and turn signals don't really fill up the entire center section of the light ? Can be seen to only have four sections that light up and looks like room for more lights in there. Would be safer if they lit up. On the web site of Amer. Muscle they have a comparison of the 13-14 rear tail lights and this set. They really are not as clear or bright. Maybe they will come out with a set that isn't smoked and maybe fill the center section with led's ? Appreciate all the info folks are posting here, helpful information...

I don't like the smoke look but they are far better than factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IASHELBYGT Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I like the lights, but only if the car has a full black back panel, don't work for me. Ford designers painted that panel black on the 13 for a reason. I agree. I love these on my Boss and I like the brightness, I'm just not to keen on the style for the 05-09 rear end.
