There it is.....because he has a Saleen hood, the backup lights had to be larger.....

Go full screen and you will see the lights are stock units....red frame of the lens is still there.

It looked like to me he did the GT500 conversion so the Saleen hood would not fit.

You might like his rear end more though because the fascias are painted black rather than left as the stock ABS plastic feel and texture.
I didn't even notice the possible vertical extension of the white back up lights, nice observation.

How did he go upon extending his backup lights?

The back-up lights are longer. This video was not shot in the US. Maybe somewhere in Europe. If you listen to the voices in the back ground there not speaking english. If you go to around 1:10 in the video you can see signs that are not in english either. Cars sold overseas differ slighlty from the ones we get here. Just like when you buy an import here, it's not the same one that is sold overseas. I must say i do like that look a little better. I'm going to have to write Ford a letter WTF ?

looks like the video was possibly shot in Mexico. sign is in spanish and kilometers per hour. even so, doubt the taillights are any different, just being thrown off because the backup lights are on.
