Has anyone replaced the rear valance reflectors with functional LEDs?

[Cobra Jet]

I just saw these functional rear lower valance LEDs on eBay - has anyone swapped out the non-functional valance reflectors with functional units?

Interested in this as well. I don’t like those particular ones on eBay, but I would like to replace the rear lower valance reflectors with functional LEDs.

 

[MakStang]

Still interested in this. Anyone?

I would have changed mine out but I hate the little arrows on the ebay one. I going to be changing out my sidemarkers to smoked LED sidenarkars and going to look at possibly of modifing rear reflectors and adding led's.

I've given thought to doing such a mod, but rather than red brake lights I'd like to go with white reverse lights. Reason being is that that's right around the area on 60s Mustangs where the circular reverse lights were. I'm not sure what I'd do with the bigger central light if I did go that route, though. I would probably just remove it entirely and make a honey comb insert to further aid in anti-parachuting measures, which would also look pretty cool on a GT350 style valence. If the LEDs used in the strips were bright enough, I don't see much of a reason to retain the bigger light. But, it's not something I've put too much thought into currently.

good idea, never thought of that with mesh

Not a fan of the eBay ones either but I’d like to find something that works. I like the reverse light idea and I would just run it in conjunction with the Oracle led reverse light I have. Whatever I end up finding though, has to stop warping. I’m on my third set of reflectors from warping after a track day....too hot in the kitchen I guess.

Another option......

@db252 this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man! I am buying this.

Has anyone installed these lights? Any ideas about quality?

 

[JPJr]

Dang...another mod I didn't know I needed.

 

[MakStang]

Me neither. Yet I just bought them, lol!

Count me in as well... I got the ones with the smoked lenses. They should match the smoked LED parking lights I've already installed. I figured that since I'll be removing the bumper cover soon to retrofit the blind spot sensors, it should be easy to replace the reflectors, drill holes and solder all the necessary wiring at that time.

They were a bit pricey, $180, but no regrets. They work really well and I love the look.

I would pay that. But as long as you’re happy with it. They look amazing and I’m sure better at night
