Just got them back from paint finally!! :headbang: Guy did a real nice job restoring them, fixed the broken corner, they look better then factory! Hope this doesn't turn into a thread like Bob's where you'll never see them installed :nono: :nono:

Export tails are sweet for sure... Is there a different harness for those compared to the regular 94-95 all red ones? My step-brother
works with LEDs for Texas Instruments and I might ask him to make a custom tailight setup...

Yeah there is, It's def gonna take a little time to wire them. Factory harness has the brake lights and turn signals running off one wire and I see no separation further down the line so a little research is required.---> which I just found!

Best I could get right now, got dark. Wiring is a pain but I pretty much got it down now besides the rapid blinking turn signals. Supposedly this is caused from having to cut the brake light wire up front (as it claims in the write-up) but it also could be from the LED's?! I'll have to figure a way to either wire it differently or use one of those turn signal relay thingamajobbers.

With the LED's, you need a different blinker relay, right? I'd start there before you go cutting up your wiring harness.

Looks great man...but how come the whole orange piece doesn't blink?

It's the way they were made unfortunately. I was bummed myself, stupid Ford! It's something I'm looking to modify later when I'm able to move the car. It's sitting so far back against the garage door there just isn't enough room to work. Once I get the front end back on the ground I'll come back to this.
