Like the design in the day if the surround didn't light up and were just reflectors, I would say maybe but not digging them at all.

I knew the reverse lights would have to work like this. When the vehicle is in reverse, the brake lamps must have the ability to light up when stopping in reverse. Because of this you cannot have all three light up white while in reverse. The red halos are only designed to glow at running lamp brightness levels.

LED's do not belong on a mustang.

Man what I wouldn't do for a '12 front and a '13 rear
. The new rears are very futuristic, somewhat polarizing. Nice reverse light IMO. Gonna be weird when even a v6 base car has a shelbyish front end, HID headlights, and these futuristic tails standard. GT's are gonna have a tougher time differing from the pack.

This would be much better. I've noticed that on newer cars (some Dodges etc), when you brake and turn signal simultaneously, many cars will turn off the brake light on the selected turning side, whereas with 09 and older stangs the turn-signal side stays normally lit if lights are on, but flashes the brighter brake lights for the turn signal. I prefer the older way of doing things, but does this have anything to do with safety? I guess it's more noticeable if the whole light turns off and on, but just not my thing.
It has nothing to do with any US DOT safety requirement. It is just up to engineering to determine how they want the lights to light up. Some cars have a separate turn signal bulb from the brake lamp bulb and some are combined. Also, on some vehicles that are imported, the home market cars may have an amber rear turn signal section where the US versions may color the lens red for appearance since amber rear turn signals are not required in the US.

Then you would have no brake lights in reverse. That would probably be illegal.
