I swapped mine out and like the look. went with the standard tail light. Took about 1/2 hour and no fitment problems. Not into the smoked look.

Not bad looking................I prefer the stock lights and have been thinking about tinting them as well as the 3rd brake light.

Boss Man,

They look a lot better that I expected. Are the lenses any darker that the OEM. They seemed to be in the photos. I wasn't really sure which to choose but after seeing yours I may be sold on it. Thanks a lot for sharing!

If you choose the smoke lenses they will be darker. I chose the standard lense and they are not darker. Those pictures were at night on cell phone camera. i think it cleans the back of the car up. If you like the look , thats all that matters. Let me know if you install them...

Will do. My grocery list is growing by the hour. I recently attended the SVT Stangfest at VIR and I think I might have been bitten. I was able to take the boss out for a few parade laps which was awesome. But the kicker was the instructor I met who took me out in a Porsche 911 Gt3 for few hot laps.

As far as the tail lights I noticed the 2013 are a little darker as well plus not having the white mixed in with the red really helps. I still like the look of yours. It just a matter of smoke vs standard.
