That is correct. We're just trying to make it easy for anyone looking to do the swap to get it all in one shot, rather than having to go through the fun we did of getting it all put together, seeing what worked and what didn't. We just did the finishing touches on the rear today, adding the hydrocarbon finish to the lower diffuser and license frame until our new piece is ready. As Ford lowers their prices (hopefully), we will be able to track the kit price down accordingly - right now it is not a cheap swap, mostly due to the lights themselves. But wow, they make the car "right". Most of all, I think the "screw up" on the 10-12 was the shape of the lower part of the housing - had the shape simply been smooth like the 13+ or 05-09, I think a lot more people would have been okay with it - just my opionion though on it.

So do I read this to say I won't be able to replace the lights only?

You can... you'll just have a gap at the bottom

You can do that already, can't you? Is this something SilverHorse is doing that's not a Raxiom development (where the thread started)?

So how much is the cheapest I can get these darn 2013 tail lights for and where? There has to be a cheaper option for genuine oem tail lights. 900 per light seem outrageous! We are not talking about a 100k car here. Even the ZL1 conversion for the camaro doesn't come close to 900. Something is not right unless ford just doesn't want these lights out there on every pre 2013. At least we have raxiom and AM that are in the process of making these lights for us. Love you guys for that!

Hmm I wonder If they'll be a resigned light or just a factory style light with some kind of addition to fill the gap. I have a feeling they will be near 500 beans tho :/

As long as they look and work legit I will pay 500. It beat 900 per light for oem which by the way is ridiculous.

I'm really surprised that nobody has looked into the Shelby American tail lights for the 2012-2012s. I think these are pretty good looking.

Can you even buy those separately?

I don't know if they are available individually. I went to shelbyamericandotcom and did not see them listed in their parts.

Give them a call. You never know what you might find out.

They don't look like tail lights... they look like plastic overlays that cover the stock back-up lights, and new back-up lights are located in the bumper.

That's the GT350 lights, and yeah - I like 'em too.

You can get them, but they come with the rest of the car.

Nope. Besides, they require the decklid, quareterpanel end caps, rear fascia, and decklid panel to make them look right.

I tried to buy them separately a long time ago, but they will not sell them individually.

I'm saying the lights go with the back-end. Shelby won't sell the lights (or the "sheet metal" for that matter) unless you actually own a GT-350, so it's a moot point anyway.
