no install pics yet but hopefully tommorow i ll have them. Putting a set on my dads 90 sho.

 

[bent1982]

did you come up with a way to make the driving lights look normal with that housing?

 

[shosovernow]

Thats the set great lights especially the projector fogs you can cruise with just those on or both on there hooked to the factory foglight switch with a seperate relay and wired to work with the parklights instead of the headlights.

 

[shosovernow]

you install the whole assembly and cut about 2 1/2 inches off the factory marker light then move the bulb to the inside corner because you have to cut threw where the bulb sat originally.

I meant parking lights, but is there anyway to make them look like they belong there?

 

[shosovernow]

as you can see in the pics with white bulbs in the factory corner and park light they look good every one who sees it in person says it looks great you could probably retrofit the mustang diamond corner lights with the headlights but it would take alot like cutting the fender to match the mustang light because it angles toward the back of the car.You would also have to cut the grille to match the inside light i bought the set with the marker lights off ebay for $114.00 i ll see if i can make them fit on my dads car we have enough spare parts to build another car.

 

[shosovernow]

they are $130.00 on ebay right now heres the corner lights and head lights

 

[Taurusse1995]

I dont see any pictures

 

[bent1982]

Im sorry, Im sick, and Im not making very much sense.

I meant the inside lights, the portion that you cut from the housing, have you figured out a way to make it look more natural, right now from the 3 pics posted it kinda looks like the are just sitting in there. its a cool mod but i would like it to look perfect on my car... there is always the option of just making a new grill.

 

[shosovernow]

yeah thats my next thing i think i might delete those lights but that was the first attempt the next set should look better move them out farther so they match the profile of the new lights might have to trim the grille some to bring them out farther

 

[shosovernow]

Heres a closer picture so you can see how they fit.I still need to polish the factory lenses its snowing up here now so no real hurry when i finish my dads i will post more pics and a how to install list.

 

[bent1982]

that doesn't look as bad as i thought. its too bad mustangs don't have a larger grill. then the whole assembly could be used and the grill adapted.

 

[shosovernow]

i wish it would make installing these alot easier

 

[shosovernow]

but they do look alot better and work alot better then the factory light does. Mine where so yellow you couldnt see at night.
