with my job i end up doing lots of night time driving and as we all know the mustang headlights are a bit lacking. if you want or know of any other alternatives let me know.

thanks in advance

 

I agree with the lacking light part. I got trapped in the mountains in New Mexico at night in a storm and that was spooky - curvey, windy roads and you can't see jack! :censored:

 

Since I installed my grill lights it has increased my light output dramatically. Only problem is mine are too bright and I blind people so I had to aim them down more than I wanted.

 

If you go with the "angel eyes" speak up and let us know how you like them.

realy the only holding me back from the cs style is the price but damn it looks good.

I dont know if its an option for you but what about installing the stock GT lights in the grille behind the billet grille. I have driving a stock GT and they seen to do a nice job. A few on here installed them and they had a stealthy functional look. If your looking for the most light the HID's along with the stock GT lights might be you best bet.

I think the stock lights with the lower grill driving lights looks good. That being said, I'd like to upgrade the OEM headlights to HID with the "angel eye" halos, yet keep the single bulb look of stock. I've seen some around, but I'm unsure of the brand name, I think it's something like Supernova, but so far my internet searches haven't turned up exactly what I want!

It's definitely wasn't a plug-n-play installation. It involves a lot of modification to the stock GT grille.

 

 

damn i realy dont want to carve up the stock bumper cover.

 

so i am thinking hids in the stock buckets now and the brake/driving lights later.

You won't hurt the bumper cover. At least, I didn't. All the modifications to the stock grille are with it off the car.

Id love to do that, but it seems that the part of the original grille that remains behind the billet grille facia (and housed the fog lamps) is being used to secure the billet grille. :headscratch:

I don't think so. My billet grille stained and the factory black honey comb grille and surround discolored on the outer edges. they replaced it with the 08 install that does not have the grille behind it any longer. It's just a black surround with the billet insert. I didn't work on it but the grille is in there solid without the old grille behind it. :headscratch:
