Shelby N.Y.

TXSGT Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have a total hang up about aftermarket lights, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but noooooope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I might have used my headlights a handful of times, it's not something I think about, but my opinion is if you drive at night you should upgrade, stock lights are t that good.

mhr1961 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) The factory HID head lights are plenty bright and are good lights. Edited July 23, 2017 by mhr1961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby N.Y. Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 The HID headlights were not an option on mustang until 2008, I personally think the standard headlights are just not bright enough, I have been watching some install videos, it looks a bit tedious as most recommend removing the entire front clip.

mavisky Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 The Front clip comes off pretty easily in these cars. That being said, most aftermarket headlights suffer in light pattern and light output in the name of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSGT Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I purchased the pre-painted Raxiom Retro headlights from American Muscle, which look like the old 60's Mustangs (no clear flat lens). Perfect color match. I kept the originals. Got white LED bulbs which are about 30% brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Looks like current Dodge car lights. Not a fan of HID lights due to issues with safety from possible blinding of oncoming traffic on winding roads. It can put both vehicles in danger. Most that I have seen on Mustangs are too damn bright and annoying from an approaching car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07ShelbyGT2908 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Still looking at options, thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming. I am going to do the oracle ring lights off americanmuscle. Not the halo headlights (housing and everything). The whole halo headlights just looks too bulky to me. The oracle halo rings are much thinner and are LED and they look really good installed. Problem is that you have to take your factory headlight housing apart but once they are installed, they look factory and you cant even tell they're there unless you turn them on and even than the halo ring light that the rings put out doenst look bulky. Whatever you do, i bet it will look good either way https://www.americanmuscle.com/oracle-halo-conversion-0510.html Edited July 26, 2017 by 07ShelbyGT2908 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I installed the Raxion LED rear taillights and they are great but wish they were not smoked. I thought about those Halo headlights as the standard headlights are not very good but from what i seen those Halo lights are less brighter than if you had Ford's HID's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
