Anybody running these side markers on their Mustang? They are big $$$ but they look super slick with the strip of LEDs. You can even get a painted to match "ghosted" option where the lens is your normal paint color when off, but the LEDs shine through creating a laser beam-like strip.

These are very popular with the Camaro guys. Here's some pics I found.

Looks pretty slick! $500 for them painted

Are they legal?

I'd venture to say probably not, but so is pretty much any deviation from the factory lighting equipment.

That ghosting option pretty much sold
Me on them instantly...

The site lists "Ghosted" and "Painted" separately with separate pricing.

SO.... Ghosted ($99) + Painted ($160)
OR .... Clear ($0) + Painted ($160)

Which is the one in the pics? The site doesn't explain or show pics of what the different choices mean.

There's several different options with these. The pic below best explains the differences. These are mega cool but the only thing holding me back is the cost. We need to get a group buy together or something, haha. Sorry for all the Camaro pics but you get the idea.


Painted/Tinted









Full Ghosted

That's kinda cool, until I saw the price tag. Not a chance...I definitely don't need it, and it's not *that* cool.

if we group buy, do you think its going to lower the price that much.

I think they look better on the Camaro due to the Camaro sidemarkers being flush with the body. The Mustang sidemarkers stick out too much.

^thanks. another reason not to like it. i was kind of putt off by the price.

I saw on the Camaro forum, they got group buy for $199, plus half off paint, and $39 for the ghost option on top of that. This was a couple of years ago though, so the price would likely be a little higher. So, around $279 for the painted option, and $318 for the full ghost paint. Still very pricey without a doubt.


That is another consideration. I can't find any decent pics on a Mustang. This is the best I can find on their website:

Yeah I think on a dark car I'd do it for sure. On silver...Ehh...they'll stand out too much I think.

I had them on my 2012 Camaro and they looked great. It was a black one, they were perfect in the painted version! The price was also o.k., payed 199$ for the set!

So has anyone seen these on a Mustang yet?

If the Ghosted option is Painted, then why are the options split with separate prices? It's confusing. It makes it sound like you can get a Ghosted one that isn't Painted. What would that look like?

$200 for a Ghosted/Painted set front/rear sounds good. The nearly $500 price I saw doesn't.

I got a set from northamericantuning.com for my 13'. I got the smoked set and had to buy some tint to put over them as they were not dark enough for my liking. Keep in mind that these pics are with the flash on my iphone turned on.





I am totally happy with them and they seem to be of very high quality (No water or condensation inside them as I have had with other replacements I've tried on this car and on my 06). They are crazy bright and light up all four corners of the car onto the road at night (A little less bright now with the tint so perfect now IMO). They are about the same brightness as the DRL's and the rear LED taillights so all the lights on my car match perfectly now.

I found this video on youtube before I bought them:


^Not my car

I can get some better side shots of the car tomorrow if any wants me to

Thanks for the pics and info, MADSCOTSMAN^^^

I was thinking the same thing, that they would be too bright in a clear/smoked option alone. A ghost painted or tinted overlay on top would dub down the brightness to a more acceptable level.

Please post more pics of the lights on your car when you get a chance. Thanks!
