    I have a 2010 Challenger R/T. The old style tail lights is the one thing I'd never change on it. It's truer to the iconic 1970 Challenger

      It’s the only thing that I thought didn’t look very good though, they tried to capture the tail lights but it looked like it fell a little flat, and blocky looking. I thought the raxioms would make a next level charger mod, they look a little bit like 69 lights, and for a project I’m doing I think it will be perfect

    I just installed these on my 2012 rt challenger today, along with the smoked side markers. I LOVE Them! I will be getting the Raxiom sequential headlights next. Sooo glad I found you guy's on TH-cam. And of course I subscribed.

  • @luciienprinc3-molina359
    @luciienprinc3-molina359 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    See I was told my my Challengers seller that the reason he never switched them was because you wouldn't be able to go back to stock if you ever wanted to for whatever reason. So it's great to hear that that is incorrect. I've already dropped 27k in the last two weeks on my Car & getting it on the road. Otherwise these Bad Boyz would already be otw. Nonetheless I cannnnnot wait to get these shipped. I like the Original Single Bar. But then I see them on the road with the Newer Design and Ive fallen in love with this new look!!!

      @spaldingmcintosh 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They only look good for a little while. Bought these brake lights less than two years ago, they are covered in deep cracks and all the black paint has peeled. American Muscle does not replace these, because they are sourced from China. For $600+ this is unacceptable. This is a cool concept that was poorly executed. Learn from me. Do not let the good looks fool you, they will be falling apart within a year.

    • @pcmicro3944
      @pcmicro3944 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Raxiom also makes a cheaper non-smoked version but it has an ugly white section in the middle which looks like the stock Dodge OEM version, and it currently requires that you use your old reverse lights unlike the newer smoked version. I wish the smoked version was not quite so dark as when it's parked it looks completely black.

    • @pcmicro3944
      @pcmicro3944 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The Vland/MostPlus/Handor brands all come from the same manufacturer in China that uses polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is also known as Acrylic. This is a cheap material that will crack after being exposed to sunlight for several months. Raxiom uses polycarbonate which is many times stronger, and it's the same material that the OEM Dodge taillights are made from.

      @Steven Price no they are not. Vland/MostPlus/Handor are all from the same manufacturer, but the Raxiom are much higher quality made of the same type of plastic that Dodge uses for their taillights (polycarbonate), so unlike the other brands it won't start cracking after a while.
