I agree these 13/14 LED tails look great but yeah, these are pricy!
INSTEAD: I'm putting my $$$ towards cooling mods:
13/14 Ford Performance Supercharger Intercooler
13/14 OE Single Fan Assembly
Lower Heat Exchanger [UNDECIDED AFCO 2-pass/VMP/Steeda]

I'm actually thinking of going with these from American Muscle:
Raxiom Mustang Vector V2 LED Tail Lights 405839 (10-12 All)

Surely one could find these taillights easily and cheap at a car junkyard. Not a mod for me as I’m desiring to keep my ‘12 authentic. Bet Ford will be redesigning them again shortly to up their aesthetics game.

Local yards want 325/350 a side for them
Ive been debating the Raxiom Vector V2 lights... S550 style... Look sweet.
Authentic vs aesthetic? My OEM tails are taking residence in the attic while I drive it. Keeping authenticity in hopes of preserving collectibility years down the road is an exercise in futility. Keep your old parts if your trying to hedge inflation over depreciation. I won't be around to see it.
I have all my original parts...I know I can sell this stuff, but Id rather part out and sell the car stock, if I had to...
They absolutely look better! Do it! Hell I just dropped 850 on new tails for my truck..lol

Too new. Part recyclers know what these are worth.
I may have gone with those vector V2s if I didnt find my 13-14s when I did. I much prefer the 13-14, but the price and look is just right. The original vectors looked like shit though if you ask me.
Yeah I prefer V2 version. So much better.
Collectibility is not my interest at all as I too will have crossed-over before the decades it will take for this or most any other car to become coveted again. I do know that I appreciate seeing classics preserved to look how they were produced a lot more than aesthetically modified. The GT500 aesthetic that I dig the most occurs when I turn the key. Everything else doesn’t matter very much.

New member here, thought I would share the route I took when upgrading the tail lights on my 2010 GT500.
Purchased the Raxion LED tail lights and could not be happier. They are a perfect fit and at $400 at least $200 cheaper than OEM 2013-2014 tail lights.
Sequential turn signal, pure white LED light when reversing. Note that Raxion makes two versions of these LED lights, I personally prefer the version I got as the LED light bars are longer and a closer look to the 2015+ Lights. And hard to tell in pics but they do have the grooves between the light bars like the 2015+ ones do.

I’m considering the V2 instead of 13/14, but they’re currently sold out
I kept going back and forth between them after seeing the pics above but ended up grabbing a set of 13/14 tails for 620 shipped yesterday.
I like that the v2s dont have to have the gap filler piece.
Dude, I waited literally like 2 months for AM to restock the conversion trim. I know many guys run without the trim but that kind of shit bugs me on my own cars haha.
I really dig the V2s and I think, FINALLY, us 10-12 guys finally have a solid option for tails. I genuinely hope these do last the test of time.
Yeah the 75 for the filler pieces is a complete rip off. but I wouldnt be able to leave the gaps.
I dunno man I still think the 13/14 take the edge. I can’t pull the trigger on the V2
