Axial Series Smoked LED Third Brake Light for 2010-2014 Ford Mustang
The Raxiom RAX435204 Axial Series LED third brake light replaces the factory center high-mount stop light on the 2010-2014 Ford Mustang with a full LED unit featuring a smoked lens. The dark smoked lens gives the rear of the S197 Mustang a blacked-out, performance-oriented appearance while the LED construction provides faster brake signal activation and a brighter brake light output compared to the factory incandescent element. The RAX435204 installs in the factory CHMSL location using the OEM wiring connector for a plug-and-play swap on the 2010-2014 Mustang with no cutting or splicing required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years of Ford Mustang does the RAX435204 fit?The RAX435204 fits the 2010-2014 Ford Mustang S197 including V6, GT, Boss 302, and GT500 trims. It does not fit the 2015 and later S550 Mustang, which uses a different third brake light configuration.
Is the RAX435204 plug-and-play on the 2010-2014 Mustang?Yes. The RAX435204 uses the factory wiring harness connector at the center high-mount stop light location on the 2010-2014 Mustang. No wire cutting or modification is required for installation.
Will the smoked lens reduce brake light visibility on the Mustang?The LED elements within the RAX435204 produce sufficient output to remain clearly visible through the smoked lens under normal and bright daylight conditions. LED construction also activates faster than the factory incandescent, which partially offsets the transmission reduction from the smoked lens.
Will the RAX435204 trigger a fault code or bulb-out warning on the 2010-2014 Mustang?Most 2010-2014 Mustangs accept the RAX435204 without triggering fault codes or bulb-out warnings. If a warning appears after installation, a load resistor compatible with the CHMSL circuit typically resolves it.
Does the RAX435204 replace just the lens or the entire assembly?The RAX435204 is a complete third brake light assembly replacement. It is not a lens overlay or film. The entire factory CHMSL unit is removed and the Raxiom RAX435204 assembly is installed in its place using the factory mounting hardware and wiring connector.
Does the RAX435204 fit the 2010-2014 Mustang GT500?Yes. The RAX435204 is compatible with the 2010-2014 Ford Mustang GT500 as it uses the same S197 platform third brake light mounting location and wiring configuration as the standard Mustang lineup.
Is the RAX435204 street legal on the Mustang?Raxiom designs their Axial Series lighting products to meet applicable standards for street use. Verify DOT compliance documentation with Raxiom directly if certification is required for your application. Some states regulate the use of smoked lens lighting products for street use.
How does the RAX435204 compare to the factory Mustang third brake light?The factory 2010-2014 Mustang CHMSL uses an incandescent element. The RAX435204 replaces this with an LED unit that activates faster and produces a cleaner, more defined brake light signature. The smoked lens provides an aesthetic upgrade that the clear factory lens does not offer.
Installation Notes
- Open the trunk and locate the factory third brake light assembly at the center of the trunk lid or rear window shelf.
- Remove the retaining clips or screws securing the factory CHMSL assembly from inside the trunk lid.
- Unplug the factory wiring harness connector from the back of the factory assembly.
- Connect the Raxiom RAX435204 plug-and-play connector to the factory harness.
- Seat the new assembly and secure with factory hardware.
- Test the brake light function before returning the vehicle to service.
