Bring Sequential Style to Your Foxbody Without Losing the Factory Look
The factory tail lights on a 1987 to 1993 Mustang LX rely on dim incandescent bulbs that feel outdated next to modern Mustangs. This LED Tail Light Conversion Kit swaps the internals for high output LED boards while keeping the original housings and lenses, so the car looks completely stock during the day and comes alive with a smooth sequential sweep at night.
Key Features
- Retains the factory 8208-023 housings and lenses for a 100 percent OEM daytime appearance
- Full sequential turn signals use individually addressable LEDs for a smooth inboard to outboard sweep
- High output white LED reverse lights dramatically improve visibility when backing up
- True plug-and-play design connects directly to the factory tail light connectors with no splicing or tapping
- Integrated resistors maintain proper turn signal flash speed after the LED conversion
- Part of ORACLE's Classic Vehicle LED Tail Light Series, engineered at their New Orleans R&D facility
