so what exactly makes them actually use WHITE rear lights for yurop?

>>17012313
euro regulations require that turn signals must be amber. They cannot be red. The mustangs lights have both brake lights and turn signals are contained individually within the cluster

>>17012313
Because our turning signal lights have to be a yellowish color.
And white looks 10x better.

>>17012345
but it doesn't?
aftermarket white tail lights is something mexicans do here in the US and its classified as 'rice'

Red with sequencers is better, just a fact.

They still light up red. A white/clear base color simply looks better with amber turn signals.

White is right

they could have made them red-red-white

Indeed there were NEVER red rear lights totally legal in Europe and having a yellow bulb/led under a slightly red filter is totally impossible.

what you're seeing here does not exist and is actually an optical illusion.
these rear lights are actually completely white.

That's how some American imports are actually homologated here if the inspector is lenient enough to pass it. Otherwise the name of the game is amber turn signals wired into the reverse housings with a new reverse light embedded in the bumper or mounted underneath.

You may notice that you're posting 25 years old cars. Production car regulations may have changed in the meantime and may be stricter today.

The sequencers aren't allowed under Euro regulations.
I'm guessing because it's too much fun or looks too cool.

>The sequencers aren't allowed under Euro regulations.
They're on every single fucking Audi nowadays.

>>17012917
And yet they're not on the Mustang for reasons. They could've just changed the color of the sequencers, but no, yurop isn't allowed to have fun things.

>>17012927
Or maybe Ford were simply too lazy and cheap to find a better solution. It's a habit for Detroit.

>>17012715
Would make room to let merge

>>17012934
Not sure how the sequencers work exactly, but assuming they use separate bulbs or LEDs, wouldn't it have been simpler to just change their color instead of removing the sequencers altogether?

>>17012948
Problem with the Ford sequencer is that it is designed to work with combination brake/turn signal lamps. Just replacing the lamps won't do, since you'd get amber brake lights. The two functions have to be separated and wired to the appropriate colored lamps or LEDs.

I'm just guessing here, but in the EU (like the USA) things actually have to be run through an approval process. If there isn't enough market demand for a particular function, the manufacturer won't do the paperwork. That's where you get the cheap solution: lose the sequencer and make one lens amber.

I think the white ones look cool on silver Mustangs.

Here, have a Mustang in Germoney.

The sequential taillights for the North American S550 were comparatively expensive to implement, the fact that they didn't make it to the European adaptation is unsurprising

>>17013357
Because the DSG is faster

>>17016411
>spotted the busrider

The Audi RS7 uses a tiptronic 8 speed gearbox...a ZF 8HP.

>the DSG is better

kek

>>17012313
I have to fucking change the lights every fucking time I import USA vehicle to be able to register it... Its pain in the ass, fucking stupid regulations

I hate american cars and their red turning signals, they're fucking impossible to see in bright sunny weather.

>>17018774
More like stupid Americans that still think it's perfectly safe to make the indicators the same color and strength as the brake lights, and even use the same bulb for them.

>>17012313
>do red rear lights imply too much sexis raycis patriarchy freedom or what?

i'm sure the EU will build a new space station to monitor the effects.

>>17012398
That is actually pretty clever

>>17018894
Doesn't work on all models though because the indicators have a very strict maximum inward distance from the outermost point of the vehicle mandated by law, and when the reverse lights are right next to the license plate it's far too inward.

That looks pretty irritating and borderline illegal since it could be interpreted as imitating a warning light which at least here in Germany is only permissible to mark scenes of accident, building sites and oversize vehicles and certain kinds of work vehicles.

>>17018988
They're illegal in Germany, according to the comment section.

Can I use Hellas as reverse lights?

>>17018995
In what context? Do you not have a reverse light? Are you trying to mod an American import for the European laws?

>>17018802

Cheap, cheap, cheap. Gotta save a nickel on colored plastic.

Depends on your definition of 'expensive'. A high school kid with some Arduino skills could whip one of these out easily. Some Ford (((accountant))) probably bitched about the cost.

it's because it's the only thing white left in eurostan.

>>17012313
Do you have a video of those operating? Taillights, brakelights, various combos of tail/brake/turn/4-way?

To reduce the damage done to the crowd of pedestrians they'll inevitably crash into, because yuros aren't used to and therefore can't handle power.

they are ghastly, we don't want them

>>17025367
so when you don't want something, you ban them entirely?

if the option to have them is more expensive it's because Ford know they can charge a huge premium for an option only a few customers want, and get away with it. That's not a tax you stupid cunt

Most hood vents aren't let air in, it's to let heat out to prevent heat soak.
