I would like to know if that would work. I don't know what the light holders lok like in the new tailights.
I don't want to loose my sequential. I did see a black Stang with these and they looked awesome!

I checked the the install info at American Muscle and see that a person just uses your on harness (stock or sequential). That's great.
Now a question, with only one back-up bulb only one of those two back-up lenses must llight up, right?

They are definitely plug and play! And yes you will only have one back-up lamp unless you modify like I did and cut a hole in the unused lens section and add a 194 bulb and socket spliced together with the original back up lamp bulb and socket.







Hard for me to capture sequentials in action unless I do video...

Thanks for the back-up lamp info. I will do that. I have the original/stock wire harness. So, just splice same wire colors together to match up for the second back up light? And, have you had no problems with fuses for the extra power used?
I can't wait.

I dunno.....when I blew it up using my special patented CSI software I see
all kinds of drilling debris in his light!!





J/K....I think I may do this...Looks awesome....but I may have to drill it upside down or put grease on the bit or something.

I ordered the taillights yesterday, so please let us know how you get that extra back-up light done without having it full of shavings. Then I can do mine right when that ups package arrives.
