Yea, leather seats and everything... I don't know, I think that I'd rather have the dark interior but hey maybe it's better considering where I live and the heat/sun factor.

Dude, seriously, I absolutely hate the stock tail lights- I think that I mentioned that. I never liked them. I've considered different tails and as I've said, I'm not in love with the ones I have but they were $100 and they are staying on the car until I find something that I absolutely love! I mainly just wanted to lose the clear Altezza lights that were on there. They combined the "Pep Boys" look with the stock look- double yuck!!! I want a "smooth"/non stepped tail light, smoked and led... What I'd really like is a light that mimics the look of Cadillac's leds. They look like there's a million separate lights in there. Oh and my tails sequence like those you posted...

Red for tail and brake, yellow for turn signal.

does this shit work good? like really good? i got lucky on a clear tail for my bike for $10, and i want it to be smoked instead of clear.

now to stay on topic-yea, looks alil better. got hid's in those projectors? (looked at the pics, didnt bother reading lol) i dont like mustangs to begin with, but it looks better to me than what u started with, to answer your question. taillights are fine, probably best u can find. stock ones are hideous i agree. headlights couldve stayed stock clear since the car is white, but whatever. projectors perform better right?

Simple and easy answer...Yes.

Lon and D, take a look through this thread. Prep is the key and clear over top(even tho it says spray inside of the lens...). There are some nice results here and some good and a few not so good reviews.http://forums.corral.net/forums/show...t=night+shades

Thanks man! I really appreciate the positive feed back...but, I really have this love affair with being able to see and be seen!

I've seen tail lights done with N.S. and you can barely see the lights during the day.

I'm still considering it though, just for the tails. One good thing about the LEDs, they are f-ing bright son! So I may be able to sacrifice some portion of function to form. We'll see, they sell that stuff right here at Advance Auto and Reilly's. There's also the matter of the effort.... boo, hiss!

I have about $7,000 into this car and plan to trade it on a new body style within two years or so...

Hey, I thank you for having smoked lights that still function. I hate it when someone goes for a look, only to completely compromise safety in the process.

Thank you! Exactly my point, I looked at those cars on the forum and I guarantee that you can't see the tail lights during the day on some of those cars. I went for "light smoke" on purpose and I'm sticking with it. Maybe, I'll get some K-Mart graphics and some blue flashing lights to make my car match what Avatard says about it.

That smoked over paint for the tails does work. did it on a car years ago. I think you can get glossy and matte finishes too.
