It was on the left side and really came in handy when there was alot of fog. This was like 30 years ago so they're nothin new.

It was nice that it was already integrated into the taillight lens. Too bad we didn't get the Mondeo taillights ... 98 Mystique GS V6 - K&N, projectors 91 Mustang LX 5.0L 00 Jetta TDI, Yay, I bought it !! 95 VW Getta TD - RIP: Nov.3,2005

Break lights going all the way acrss the back would be different plus there would be no chance of someone rearing you

Give the car a more luxury appearance from the back, and why not, with items such as leather, powered seats, doors windows, etc. moonroof etc. the SVT is as much luxury as it is sporty. A great mod none the less.
