AU to US Tail Light swap?

Anyone know if you can do a direct swap from the AU spec tails lights for the US spec OEM tail lights without modifying any internal wiring.

I want to get a set of US spec tail lights and install the sequencer on them and install them in OZ spec GT

Pretty sure the US tail lights don't fit at all and the sequencer cant be used either.

The connectors and wiring are all different, so it's not as easy as just plug and play.

the way I understand it all, the BCM will be programmed differently also.

I thought of this too, but its just too complicated and lights cost way too much. That's not to say it can't be done because some users on the forum have done it.

However tinting the lights seems to be another option if you are just happy with a colour change. I will be doing the tint when I get my car soon.

Yeah tinting is my plan too.

im more than happy to spend the money, it would be great if someone could do this form me

If you're going to tint PLEASE use the Dennis vinyl kit. I haven't used it myself but it can't be any worse fitting than the Anchor room tint...

Can't remember exactly how much this cost me all up, but I think it was around $2200 USD. I bought the US tails and then had them modified to add the amber indicators and add the sequential animation. I can put you in touch with the guy that did the modification if you like?

You may need an electrician to install it as the wiring is not exactly plug and play.

Seconded! I fit the anchor room kit. They are very badly sized, one of them not even fitting. Vendor has offered to send me a new one at the amazing cost of $21 us, they assure me that they are perfect as they are laser cut.. Well guess what. They aren't.

Kustom tint will soon have his own kit which I will be replacing with as soon a ready

Well this will be interesting as i have a full front and rear kit waiting to be fitted from anchor room...:(

Well, window tint and Anchor room tail lights going on today. Purchased Anchor Room based on the rave reviews, the day before the crap reviews came out :doh:
I'll let you know whether good or bad.

Hi!

I'm in the process of installing US tail lights in my Australian RHD Mustang GT.

Currently testing each of the wires that goes to the RHD tail lights to work out their function and putting this into a table. My US tail lights will arrive next week

I'll start a thread about this soon - I'm expecting to encounter issues with getting a sequential signal to the US tail lights, so an additional part (that sequences the lights) might need to be used to make it work perfectly.

My anchor room tint kit fitted decently enough, pretty close to perfect. Wonder if they upped their QC game after all of the bad reviews.

These look great!!! Assuming you are actually using these on the road - no dramas with the Qld Polizi as yet?
