Anyone know what the lights are for on the inside corners of the upper grill??

OK, show me where the fog lights are then. I can't find a single photo showing them.

The S650 does not have them.

When was the last time the mustang had fog lights? And a performance model at that? Those are not fog lights, they are accent lights.

And I do mean from the factory with fog lights.

My 2019 300A GT had fog lights. They were quite good too.

RTR seems to put them to better use ..if they ever release that grille ..lol

I thought these were accent lights and not fog or driving lights

Im guessing accent

Are they light bulbs?
Or a reflection of the main head lights?
If they are light bulbs you should be able to turn them off or change their color?

My 2018 has them too, they really do a nice job of lighting up the road.

I just looked at the two little lights on the front and they do appear to be separate bulbs, I can't find anything about them in the manual.

Its a "bug" magnet

My wild guess: some regional legislation requiring that both headlights must be visible by onlookers up to a 40 degree angle so as to not confuse cars with bikes.

Not wild at all. The Department of Transportation lighting regulations (FMVSS 108) require inboard visibility for the DRL, turn and position lights (three white/amber stripes on the headlamp). Since the the front grill is so protruded from the bumper, these three lit stripes cannot send light to the inboard direction of the car and therefore additional tiny lights had to be added on the grill to meet these mandatory functions. In fact, these small lights turn also amber when the turn signal is activated.
Whoever designed the Mustang body didn't want to give up on the sharp shape of the front bumper and engineers had to propose this solution.

bureaucratic bs, if its for the inboard you’ve already passed the other outboard. What’d they just pop up in the middle of the road between the two headlamps?

The requirement is per lamp. Left and right lamps must send light from 80deg outboard to 45deg inboard (each lamp). See the attached file from the FMVSS 108 rule. Again, this is what I think is the purpose of these lights.

Agreed.

IE: leave it to the damn government to require screwball solutions to non-existant problems.

Agreed.

The unqualified leading the unwilling to do the unnecessary.
