UK Taillights in US??
I spoke with Stig, and he mentioned that these are the tailights that are on UK models. Are these legal in the US? And can we get these is the US?

All mustangs in the UK are US imports. The traffic laws in the UK state that a cars taillights must have an amber light for use as the blinker/indicator. The middle one that is transparent therefore will be an amber bulb....strange it was not put on the outside.
Regardless this is just a change in the color of the plastic...how they do that I'm not sure. I can't see any reason why they would be ilegal in the US as they look just like other euro style lights.

They look like cat eyes, I don't care for them at all.
Thomas, I noticed you are from Tampa. Are we going to see your Cali Special this Saturday at the Mustangs & Mustangs show at Fantasy of Flight?

Man I wish I knew about it first, but I have to go take pictures of Stupid Ricers @ the Hot Import Nights Nightshift show @ Tropicana Field this Saturday.

Go to the link below and you will see the difference in the rear lights and the side mirror housing with the light bar in it.

But those ones from the UK, well they are just not my thing.

I wonder why they don't offer the mirrors on the U.S. models. They change everything else on the factory mustang...why did they leave the ugly mirrors on the U.S. spec, but not Japan spec models.
I've gotta imagine that the market in the US is much better than Japan for these vehicles, and no one here likes the factory mirrors.
Even if they couldn't keep the turn signal in them due to SAE/DOT reasons, it would still be nice. Also, they could sell them in their parts store and probably make a mint (if priced right).
But, knowing Saleen, I bet if you call and get a knowledgeable person that works there, you could probably order them.

+1 on the mirrors.... I hate these stupid black plastic ones that come with the mustang. Muscle car or not... I would like side turners on the mirror. Not to mention the ones in japan are also painted.

I must say that amber blinkers are safer. They are far more visible in all conditions. It might not look as good, but I think that safety outweighs looks. My stang here in Kuwait has the US taillights.
