Alternative style LED reverse\rear fog light

papinist · May 6, 2016

I just found this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/141956311146?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I'm not too much into it, but could be a nice replacement for the stock rear fog light.

What do you guys think?

What I think, euh ... let me think about it ...

So, OK, I confess, this light is already sitting at my stackry account and waiting for the last item and then should be shipped to me :headbang:

:clap2:

:lol: :lol: John you are THE KING of euro mustang modding!!

(and you should also have some shares of Stackry

)

I will impatiently wait to read your comments and to see it installed in your white horse!
They sold it as 'brake\reverse' and it should have two brightness levels for the red light, so we will wire it only with one brightness for the fog light (obviously the brighter one)

Haha :first:

That's the same way I'll go.
Just use the Reverse and Fog light option. For the fog light, I'll use the Brake light mode (I think much brighter).

In the same, I'll put my Black vinyl on it. So if the brake mode is too bright, It'll be "dimmed" a bit with the vinyl.

John make sure you hold on to your original fog/reverse light. I understand they are quite expensive and someone who needs to convert a US car to EU specs for admission might pay you good money for it.

Love it, do not like the price though, but will probably find myself ordering one.

I think it'll look good on the white car. The stock unit is a bit fussy.

I'm still not sure if I like it, also I never use fog lights (when fog comes, I never have someone reaching me from behind... maybe I'm too fast

), but I like the idea of replacing the original with a led-only unit.
Also, black vinyl would be a must for me!

Was thinking the same thing, but then, might as well keep the stock. I bought the vinyl already but not quite sure on the legalities of sticking over the fog light.

If the LED unit came in 'smoked', it'd be perfect for me. Having said that, the white does match the stock rear lights and is also closer to he US unit in appearance (i.e. all white).

Funny that here in Italy vinyls are not an issue, or different DRLs or headlights. We will definitely have issues with police for exhausts

addle:

You're right, US version is clear but it's a detail I don't like too much. But with clear taillights could be a nice match.

If you were to put a smoke tint over it then it doesn't really make sense to replace the unit at all, since it will look exactly the same anyway.

Not really, I found out a guy in the Forum who put the vinyl on his reverse light (saw his car in real) and you'll still see the light under.

Then his vinyl wasn't smoked enough :lol:

If I remember, his kit was from Anchor Room. I have the one from American Muscle, will put them on and check the result.

If not good for me, then I remove it.

Yes, I'll keep the OEM light for few weeks and if the new one works well, then I sell it :thumbsup:
