The LEDs will require load resistors for each bulb you replace. I'm not sure which sequential harness you have exactly. Which one are you planning on purchasing?

They should work, but if it works based on the resistance of the factory bulbs you will need to add resistors.

I can't be 100% certain though because we didn't design the harness.

If you purchase the Stage 2 LEDs from us we will include the resistors for you at no extra charge.

Thanks,
Nick C.

Thanks for the response. Can you confirm what exactly I need to order because I want to make sure I get everything at once.

Three pairs of these in Stage 2

Let me know when you place your order and I will make sure they include load resistors

Sounds great! Be sure to post pics when you install everything. I think you will be pleased with how great it turns out!

Quick question, I've got a '12 GT with HID package, but want to look into putting switchbacks on the front signals. Do I need a resistor since the rear signals are already LED?

Also, do you have any photos/videos of these in action?

Thanks!

You will need to splice in resistors since the 2012 car has a digital flasher.

I will be posting up new pictures and stuff in the near future. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks,

Hey, just to confirm, despite the page saying these are only for the 94-09 cars, these WILL work with a 2011 GT with stock sequentials and HIDs? Thanks.

Also, are these unidirectional, pointing out? Or are they 360degrees?

nope, these do not work at all on a 2010+ Mustang. As they are already factory LEDs, and not like a bulb.

Yes, he is correct. The 2010+ cars have LEDs from the factory, so the one's listed won't work.

That is correct, it's a factory assembly from Ford...it would be very difficult to replace and probably not worth it.

They're already pretty bright IMO, did you tint your tails to dark? lol
