I know I will be flamed for this but how do you think 96+ tails would look on my car? I find it hard to believe that even I am thinking about this. However since I had the 99 that was totaled I have wanted sequential tail lights. I am pondering buying a set when I'm ready to put it back on the road and see how they look.

They'll look sexy like mine lol. 94 with 96 Tails. Tinted and matched.

I have no problem saying I hate the 94/5 tails. I hated the 87 Fox GT louvered tails too.

I've never had a problem with the 94/5 tails. I had always planned to keep them.


Sequential tails make me giddy though LOL. Seen a stang today with them I was like oh **** sequential tails

9 out 10 people will say go for 96-98 taillights, I know 94-95 mustang owners are loyal to their cars but you got some serious problem or have no sense in fashion if you think 94-95 taillights are betting looking then the 96-98.

I changed mine to 96-98 lights first day i got the car and threw the stockers away

But that's just me, Please don't throw rocks at me, lol

horizontals FTW! the only reason you should want verticals is if you're doing sequentials.

I guess I get the green light lol.

Now the real question is why does the kit cost so much. It's 2 little jobbers that you splice into the wiring

Naw, no vidz. But I should take one soon...

Anyhow, I was forced to get the 96-98s cause that's what was on the car when I bought it! Sequentials came shortly after.

Anyhow, I'll see about a video and let you know!

Or if you wanted the 96-98 export tails with amber turn signals.

This argument has been done a million times, so I won't state my opinion on "which is better and why"

However, in this particular case, I would say that it might look really good considering the color is so much of an attention grabber.

I'd say go for it.

A running car is better but we both fail at that

The kit you got is a STS-1M the AM kit is STS-1MR wonder of there is a difference. Maybe it's a newer kit that slows them down. Your's do flash pretty damn quick

There are 94-95 export tails with the amber turn signal. I know, I've sold a few and I have a set to install myself.

IMO, install whatever tail lights you like - it's your car. Me, I like the horizontal tails 'cause they're unique. The 96-98 to me look like an afterthought, like they were just mushed in there. All the tails from 99 and up look really good, just not on our cars.

I agree I love the horz (lol) but kinda hard to make them sequential. Not like I can't buy a set and throw them on and see how they look before I spend the money on a kit. I might not like them and decide to sell them

I wish a company would make the "jeweled" look the 96-98's have with the translucent red lens. Our cars look better with the horizontal lights...its just the lens is not as sexy as the 96-98 lens.
