This is just an informational post due to the great ways you can see the difference.




The picture above is without the RS package, as you can see, inside the actual taillight itself the bottom "U" shape is the red color.




This last picture though shows a much darker lip on the "U" shape in the taillight, almost a dark maroon.

Hope this helps

I like the RS much better. Too bad neither has the amber turn signal like a few of the pictures

 

I wouldn't exactly trust those pictures to be perfect. If the camera was on automatic, it could have changed exposure or white balance and give different looking pictures, when in reality, the taillights could look the same. And to me, the red in the chrome trim ring just looks like a reflection of the lens in the chrome. The pictures are taken from slightly different elevations, so the reflections could have easily played out differently.

 

I thought the silver trim was only on RS, but it is in both pictures.

 

So what's the difference exactly?

 

The differences were mentioned in the first post. the bottom U shape is a darker color red then the other parts of the light.

personally the pics to me show it very clearly, as well as browsing through the other countless pictures for that particular event.

The yellow camaro is a standard LT/RS but as you can see the grey is only an SS

and to 30thanniversaryz28, the amber taillights are for Australian drivers only ;(

 

I will agree that the camera may be playing *some* tricks on us, but- if anything the RS lamps would probably end up showing up lighter than in real life. The outer part of the RS lamps definitely look darker. I'm not so sure that's a major selling point- I'd have to see them with the lights on, I think that's when you (Mustang owners) would see the difference. LOL.
Isn't the silver is just an SS? the "SS" badge would be red if it had the RS package, unless I missed something...

 

Well that explains it, they both have the RS package and the same tailights! lol

To me the RS package is retarded and I'd just upgrade the HID, nothing else. I mean, darker tailights? Seriously?

 

I've heard someone say the difference is in the chrome behind the lenses. "Black" chrome on the RS and reg. chrome on the other models. That looks to be the case.

And the SS is standard..no RS package.

 

Nope... I was at the Indy event, these pics are just what they look like in real life. Note though, these are still production-intent pieces, so the final look could be slightly different.

 

correction made, i was unsure why i had ss/rs, but it was when i was in another mindstate.

regardless, like bitchin mentioned these are still pre-pub and alot may change.

the darker taillight lenses is definitly not worth the RS package, however the slight variances are nice...specially stock Halos

 

and they were saying we cant have blue because of too many different colored parts!!

****ing bull****.

 

I can see the difference. Thanks for posting them.

Question: Are the tail lights LED's?

 

Next question, is there any pics with both of them lit up as running lights?
