Has anyone replaced the rear valance reflectors with functional LEDs?

Is this a reflector delete? LED add? Am I the only guy that is concerned that removing the DOT required reflectors would be a liability-say if someone rear ended my parked car at night because I removed the federal DOT standard required reflectors? I know, such a downer.,,,

Here's a pic of mine prior to install. I believe they will still reflect, but I have not tested it. I'll try to this weekend.

So, took some pictures with flash on, shined a flashlight on them in the dark at various angles and they don't really reflect from what I can tell. Doesn't bother me, cause I had the stock ones covered with matte black vinyl anyway.

I did mine this weekend, Also did the rear foglight which was hard to get to on the NZ RHD mustang, had to remove the bumper to get access to the top 2 bolts.
Anyway, i like the look!

I need to stop looking at these threads before I turn every single reflector into smoked leds.
Also just installed 4th brake light and rear led side markers today

Goodbye $50

What a freaking pain. Failed my first attempt because I couldn't figure out how to pop it out until I re-watched the video that you had to unscrew that weird thing.

I wired both markers in parallel and tapped into the passenger side marker to make it easier.

I think they really compliment each other

It is a pita but looks so good when done. Yours looks great!

This is a good idea. I tapped mine into my forth brake light so they light up with the regular lights and the brake lights. Unfortunately, they have sucked all the power from the 4th brake light and no longer works. hahaha. Changing from the forth brake light wire, though, would take away the brake light ability.

You could always use a relay. The small coil in the relay wouldn't take much power at all away from the 4th brake light.

Relay? Do you have an example? Electronics confuse me to no end. Especially relays.
