That's what I was saying... it's not where the product is manufactured as much as it is the availability of warranty and support. In this case, Raxiom is well supported by American Muscle so its origin is really unimportant. I have both Raxiom headlights and taillights that I bought from AM. I've had them for about five years and the only problem I've had was one of the headlight housings was getting a lot of internal condensation within the 2-year warranty (that warranty is quite unusual for aftermarket parts). AM replaced them with a new set at no charge and I haven't had a problem since.
Unfortunately when it concerns the Raxiom 5th gen sequential tail light kit and head units w/backup camera, I've read a lot of negative reviews concerning poor quality and poor lack of customer support from AM both on TMS and from other Mustang forums as well..
I was actually considering the Raxiom 5th gen sequential tail light kit until I came across those negative reviews including fitment and poor functionality issues..
Needless to say, that was more than enough reason for not wanting to take the risk on purchasing them, especially at $374.99..
So perhaps a 2 year warranty in your opinion is great for an aftermarket product, however when it comes to nearly $400.00 for that product, a 2 year warranty is totally unacceptable as far as I'm concerned..
At any rate, I purchased a sequential tail light harness kit from Classic Design Concepts well over 7 years ago for $156.00 and during those 7 years they still function perfectly.. In addition CDC backs this kit along with most of their products with a full lifetime warranty and outstanding customer service..
That being said, until both AM and Raxiom step up to the plate and offer better quality products, support and warranty coverage for their customers, I refuse to purchase any of their products.. This of course is just my opinion and personal preference..
In the meantime, I've included a link below for my sequential harness kit from CDC for those who may be interested..

Gravy, I would bet the farm the reason they didn't have them is that they were a PITA to keep working, They were mechanical, and the things wore quickly. I had two friends that had the late 60's Cougar, and was forever using colorful language to describe them. Electronics have made them cheaper, and more reliable.
