so i had been looking for nearly a year for a plastic molded tail light cover for the 18 mustangs, and was continuously only finding tint. living here in florida, i refuse to tint my lenses on my car because the sun will just bake that glue onto the lens and ruin them in time.

finally i found a set on aliexpress, at a whopping price tag, but after gazing at them on the internet for weeks i finally said screw it and placed the order. well, that was 3 weeks ago, and they finally arrived and were installed last night. Damn do they look Good! i had always hated the bright red of the tail lights, having nearly everything else blacked out on the car, but these covers make the entire ass look nearly seamless. i couldnt be happier with the results.

after installing them, i can see why they were charging nearly 150 bucks for a set; as each light has its own unique shape, so they cant just make 1 mold and call it a day. but they do fit perfect, and install was a breeze.

a small strip of double sided tape where it dives into the light itself (long side) if that makes sense. i was worried you would be able to see it when the lights light up, but you cant at all. so very happy with that

According to Amazon, you could have saved $10 on your purchase if you would have simply opened an Amazon credit card. Well... why didn't you? :cwl:

Those bisches are bright as all get out when you press the brakes. Tinting them would only tone that brightness down a little. You will be fine. I see at least 1 car with tinted tails a day. Never seen 1 pulled over for that before.

Hey, I was just trying to help save a few dollars man. :crying:

how you found those on amazon amazes me... they must have just started to sell on there recently... which im starting to see more of.

maybe i did pay 145 or so. it was around that area. sucks i had to wait nearly 3 weeks, where you got yours in 2 damn days! lol.

i also found these (sold by the same people / company of course haha), which i really want, but no way ill pay that kind of money...

For those of you wondering how a cop will ticket you over these. A state trooper (Texas) pulled me over for mine, they are the tinted vinyl and not as dark. I told him about the brightness and he said it did not matter because the issue is that they are no longer reflective so the brightness issue is moot.
