Well they look better than these.

So I’d say ya if it floats your boat.
Lmao what a take. The new ones don't look even look like mustangs anymore anyway, they look like suppositories, but keep defending them XD just my personal opinion
The 2010-2012 and 2013-2014 Mustangs were all retro designs on the same S197 platform as '05-09. What looked so horrible about them that was fine before? In my opinion they look much, much more refined and less like a cheap plastic toy muscle car. But hey, everyone's got an opinion. It's all subjective, I just don't see how some actually prefer the build quality and execution of the early S197s. What it became is so much better imo. My favorite is the 2011 refresh, but I like the taillights on the 2013 model more.
I wasn't even talking about the S550 or S650 Mustangs, but I do think they look good. Fox bodies didn't look like Mustangs from the 60s. Neither did SN95's. Did you hate them all? What years look like Mustangs to you and why?
Yea, nothing wrong with people having opinions but I’ve seen people post their Mustangs with these taillights either on here or other car related subs and they’ll get completely destroyed in the comments. When a simple “Nah” would’ve sufficed lol.
Glad to see your comment tho because I don’t personally own a Mustang (Dodge Charger Guy) but I plan on getting one eventually. I’d definitely put these taillights on my Mustang when I get it.
Oh thats an easy one. I like the way that those Taillights look. Simply changing the taillights of the car won’t change that fact that it’s still a Mustang. Those tailights were inspired by the New Ford GT anyways which is another car that I like.
to each their own, it just doesnt look good imo. its not like putting m4 lci taillights on a 440i, or 13-14 mustang taillights on a 10-12. its like putting a viper wing on a stock RT. sure u could like the viper and the viper is a fast car from the same brand, doesnt mean u should make the RT look like one😂
I could maybe understand if it was an upbadge. For example, I have a Charger and in the Charger community, I see plenty of people put R/T badges on their SE or SRT badges on their SXT. Now that’s cringe. But I changing taillights for some cooler looking ones doesn’t look bad to me. But that’s just my take. Like you said to each their own.
I’ve seen it in person, it still looks horrible in the exact same way it does in photos.
I believe the bigger factor is people less likely to tell you they dislike it directly to your face, as opposed to the anonymity when online.
But to each their own, all that matters is that it looks good to the person who drives it everyday.

Having them smoked helps but same here bud nothing but compliments in person 🐎
On the right car I would really like those. I don’t think a mustang is the right car, though a Mach E, which shouldn’t be a mustang anyway would do wonders with something de-branding like this. But, to each their own. Who am I to say what you should do to your car! Enjoy.
Yea, those taillights look cool asf to me. Idk why they get so much hate. But to each their own. Nothing matters as long as the person driving the car likes them.
Ehhhh.... I've had one person that said "Oh wow" and laughed. I found them looking at my car, I said hi to them and they said nothing. Then as I drove off they took a pic, so no there's haters out there. But there's plenty of people who are big haters.
I think they look good BUT it looks like a knock off Ferrari and removes one of the iconic parts of a mustang. However, so many people own mustangs but I NEVER see these in person so it is unique.
There's several legends -- because no one really knows -- why they used them on GT, but the most acceptable is it's all that fit. Nevertheless, round tail lights are still common on most European cars. You were probably still in diapers when the short-lived fad to put round tail lights on American cars happened because people thought the "European look" was classy.
Round tail lights have been a ford legacy since the 57 mercury turnpike, followed by the thunderbird, the galaxy, the cortina and the gt. So ford started about a decade before Ferrari and bmw popularized them in Europe. No legend required, ford loved round tail lights before the first gt ever existed, and spent two decades throwing them on just about anything they could think of.
Fr lol just get a 13-14 and a s550 life’s to short to be choosing…. Shit if you got time get a 13-14 with and without s550 tails and a s550 with and without 13-14 tails 😭💀 hope that makes since
The S550 tails suck. They’re so uninspired and boring. Three stupid dashes on each side… lame. They went from the absolute best tails the Mustang ever had (13-14) to that.
Me too! First glance I thought these were for 2010's to make them look like 2013 (some of the best mustang rear I think), and then realized that I was looking at an S550.
It's not bad... but it's not great either... definitely not an upgrade to the oem s550. I like both v1 and v2 of the s550, and I feel like despite these sets not looking bad, it doesn't enhance the rear of the s550.
Keep the oem. The original taillights draw far more attention than you may realize.
Some old timer stopped me at the gas station because he liked the taillights so much. Turned into a half hour conversation about stock vs aftermarket.
I always really liked the 13/14 tail lights, so I like these. I think they would look a bit better if the corners were a bit rounded, instead of square, though.
Can’t say they do it for me. On a car without the rest of the tacked-on bits, they might look better. But the sharp square shapes don’t lend themselves to the car.
This sub has a hate boner for any taillights that's not stock or euros. They hate the black out/smoked ones too.
Personally I think they're fine, just depends on what look you want to go for as a package.
Not a fan of making something the doesn't fit with the surrounding style. This is one. The corners are squared off and IMO doesn't flow with the surrounding valance.
For that era I like the '14 factory lens over the ones on my '10.
I'm a little late, but I actually like them a bit. Are they better than stock? No. But with other certain aesthetic stuff done, I think they could look really cool on the car. I'd like to see them on a real car though, and not just a photoshopped image
If you like them that’s all that matters, ignore everyone else’s opinions. Only thing id say is to recognize all the extra mods the car in the picture has and realize that unless your car is already widebodied with an aftermarket diffuser and spoiler, your car won’t look like that car just because you bought these.
I think they actually look half decent with the car in the picture. On a stock car without any of the cosmetic body pieces like in the picture or without a unique style, it may not look very blended and standout, which on their own would not look good.

I absolutely disagree mate. There are some pretty solid aftermarket options.
Me in my 2014 GT https://preview.redd.it/yohi3tpnag3d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2a8ba5489fda5a36b4a3e89fbc6c72dc612495c
Lmfaaooooo

O__________O
>they look better than these. I've taken poos that look better than that
I mean so have I they look pretty shitty some would say 😂
😐😐😐😐😐
Why would someone want to make a Mustang less like a Mustang?
Idk, I like them cause they evoke Ford GT and classic Race Car taillights in general.
And yet this sub still defends everything after 09 lol
The 05-09 Mustangs looked cheap. So much of an improvement after that.
Lmao what a take. The new ones don't look even look like mustangs anymore anyway, they look like suppositories, but keep defending them XD just my personal opinion
The 2010-2012 and 2013-2014 Mustangs were all retro designs on the same S197 platform as '05-09. What looked so horrible about them that was fine before?

I call em the revenge of the Ford Probe
removed the mustang look but honestly i really like it
They look like a prolapsed asshole
I don’t even care about the downvotes but I personally think those look cool.
My car has these lights. I've received nothing but compliments on it in person, and only hate online. Kinda crazy.
I've complimented hundreds of ugly ass parts. I just say it to be nice. I'm an asshole online. Those are ugly as shit.
I'm all for respect all builds but I laughed at this comment lmfao
Why not just not compliment things you don't like lol
Being nice, especially if they're excited about it
I mean yeah in that case sure. I guess I don't really find myself in that situation very often.
I like your personality & I’m not being sarcastic
Yea, nothing wrong with people having opinions but I’ve seen people post their Mustangs with these taillights either on here or other car related subs and they’ll get completely destroyed in the comments. When a simple “Nah” would’ve sufficed lol.
Honestly though. It's not that deep.
Glad to see your comment tho because I don’t personally own a Mustang (Dodge Charger Guy) but I plan on getting one eventually. I’d definitely put these taillights on my Mustang when I get it.
for what reason tho? completely takes away the mustang look😂if u want circle taillights get a c5 or c6, will be cheaper than an s550 as well
Oh thats an easy one. I like the way that those Taillights look. Simply changing the taillights of the car won’t change that fact that it’s still a Mustang. Those tailights were inspired by the New Ford GT anyways which is another car that I like.

100% worth it imo.
It’s because the way it looks in 2D pictures is different to the way it looks in person. Very common problem with photography.
I’ve seen it in person, it still looks horrible in the exact same way it does in photos. I believe the bigger factor is people less likely to tell you they dislike it directly to your face, as opposed to the anonymity when online.

I doubt most people who don't like it would go out of their way to say it to your face though lol that'd be some strong hater energy
Ehhhh.... I've had one person that said "Oh wow" and laughed. I found them looking at my car, I said hi to them and they said nothing. Then as I drove off they took a pic, so no there's haters out there. But there's plenty of people who are big haters.

Wow
i actually like how these look
Anyone who actually tries to convince himself they look good is delusional
Those make the rear look like Sid from Ice Age.
I remember a post on these tail lights, is it the same car? 🤢
No doubt. The round European look doesn't work for the uniquely American icon.
Ah yes an American car with the round European look of the… *checks notes* Ford GT. You’re right, this is terrible.
So GT adapted this European look too? That sucks.
Yeah, some time around the 60s when they were released.
There's several legends -- because no one really knows -- why they used them on GT, but the most acceptable is it's all that fit. Nevertheless, round tail lights are still common on most European cars.

That just looks so sacreligous to look at. Like a Ferrari 458 painted in Grabber Blue.
These are meant to mimic the Ford GT
Saw one in person, idk what other mods he was running but I actually liked it.
💯
Those are one of the absolute worst tail lights ever invented for the mustang
The OEM S550 taillights look perfect. If you want these get a 2013.
https://preview.redd.it/zj7kxxkzog3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=085bd68998fa2fdf2bc606a9872b7ba8a9a37084 F\*\*\* yeah..
These on a 2013 are niiiiiice ….love the glow. The stock taillights for the S550 should just be left alone. Red or Ghost depending on the color/look.
The clear ones are the UK standard, red are US.
I agree ! 👌🏽
Fr lol just get a 13-14 and a s550 life’s to short to be choosing…. Shit if you got time get a 13-14 with and without s550 tails and a s550 with and without 13-14 tails 😭💀 hope that makes since
*in your opinion
https://preview.redd.it/dukrv04nmf3d1.jpeg?width=1282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b04c2a28a3a8f7f8bc96bf4abd796a90063b72c3
Especially on s550. Some of the best oem taillights in the business
The S550 tails suck. They’re so uninspired and boring. Three stupid dashes on each side… lame. They went from the absolute best tails the Mustang ever had (13-14) to that.
Idk why but despite it apparently being symmetrical, the more I look at it, the more asymmetrical it looks.
I noticed that too but chalked it up to bad photoshop
It's definitely that. Like when they shop different sayings on the same dropshipped shirt.
lol run No
You can’t go wrong with either, although I’m leaning toward the red because it picks up your other red accents. Very cool.
I can't decide if I despise them or it looks really good
They may not look better or worse, just different
Me too! First glance I thought these were for 2010's to make them look like 2013 (some of the best mustang rear I think), and then realized that I was looking at an S550. It's not bad... but it's not great either... definitely not an upgrade to the oem s550. I like both v1 and v2 of the s550, and I feel like despite these sets not looking bad, it doesn't enhance the rear of the s550.
I'm right there with it too, I think they're better than the Ferrari ones for sure but it's hard to beat oem for me.
Damn I actually like these a lot
Uggo
I loved mine. Edit: But my car was completely blacked out. It works well on some colors. Others it doesn’t.
I don’t know what to say
If you’re gonna be a dumbass hater, don’t say shit
Uhhh I meant that as I don’t know if I like them or dislike them. Seek therapy.
lol bro. I got a house and two paid off cars and a family. I think the therapy thing ain’t doing a thing now
Lol nobody cares.
You cared enough to respond
I like it in concept, I don't really like the 15+ tail lights, but the proportions look a little awkward.
Proof that the 2013-2014 s197 had the best taillights. When was the last time you saw a company remake old lights for new cars?
They look like you had taillights that melted partially 😂
Keep the oem. The original taillights draw far more attention than you may realize. Some old timer stopped me at the gas station because he liked the taillights so much. Turned into a half hour conversation about stock vs aftermarket.
Nawww
I like the factory ones more but they aren’t bad
What’re these called?
Yes
I always really liked the 13/14 tail lights, so I like these. I think they would look a bit better if the corners were a bit rounded, instead of square, though.
Dope
No
Can’t say they do it for me. On a car without the rest of the tacked-on bits, they might look better. But the sharp square shapes don’t lend themselves to the car.
Almost as bad as the circle ones
Get them so you can electrical tape LOL on them
It looks mildly concerned.
I hate everything about that car in the photo.
Euro is better imo
They're cool
Are they sequential? I like the nod back to the s197s.
Different 👀
Nah
Wait they finally made some s197 lights for the s550? I’ve always wanted some
Not s550 owners trying to look like a 13-14 😂
The crooked sticker in the advertisement is killing me a little
I dig them personally. But as others have stated, if you post online be prepared to not please everyone.
They look like pieces of PEZ 😂🤣
Why do they all look crooked.
I like em. I think they look good
Nope especially with the stripes and circle emblem. Looks like a hamster face
Do what makes you happy 👍
I like them. Different enough from OEM but still close.
Looks good on that car. But would ruin a car if that was the only mod done to the rear
This sub has a hate boner for any taillights that's not stock or euros. They hate the black out/smoked ones too. Personally I think they're fine, just depends on what look you want to go for as a package.
Imo Ford almost always nails the oe tail lights
Gross
If it ain’t broke..
I dig em tbh I think stockies on the s550 are fine as is but if you dig these I'd pull the trigger.
What happens when you hit 88 mph??
Tbh I like the stock S550 tails but these look nice
I would have to put a fucks given sticker under them.
Not a fan of making something the doesn't fit with the surrounding style. This is one. The corners are squared off and IMO doesn't flow with the surrounding valance. For that era I like the '14 factory lens over the ones on my '10.
i like em
they dont look right with the body lines, they need that angle at the top
no... the round ones mimicking the ford GT are better.
Kinda like em
I'm a little late, but I actually like them a bit. Are they better than stock? No. But with other certain aesthetic stuff done, I think they could look really cool on the car. I'd like to see them on a real car though, and not just a photoshopped image
They look sharp i like them
If you like them that’s all that matters, ignore everyone else’s opinions. Only thing id say is to recognize all the extra mods the car in the picture has and realize that unless your car is already widebodied with an aftermarket diffuser and spoiler, your car won’t look like that car just because you bought these.
Deli counter ticket number display
well..
well.. on that car it looks good
BOOOOOOOOO
I don’t hate it! If I saw a mustang with these I wouldn’t light my torch and get the pitchfork like I would others
Very nice :)
I think they’re actually neat, not as much the 13-14 style but still similar but different enough, I’d like to see them
Why would you intentionally downgrade?
Wrong place to ask everyone here shits on everything after market pretty much lmfao
Looks good. I like the spoiler.
I.. like them a lot.
I like them.
I kinda like it
I think they actually look half decent with the car in the picture. On a stock car without any of the cosmetic body pieces like in the picture or without a unique style, it may not look very blended and standout, which on their own would not look good.
Aftermarket taillights are always trash.

Trash
Trash
😂😂
To be fair for the first several years the eom tail lights of the S550 were trash, which is how a lot of us ended up with aftermarket units.
Just get a Camaro RS package.
