I wanna say you're wrong on this one. Thai-Tang was quoted somewhere (believe it was Mustang Enthusiast Part 1 of the 2005 Mustang) saying that the GT Fog lights are truly fog lights. They pass some NHRA standards (or some standard) that qualifies them as fogs. Most other low-lying fog lights are actually driving lights.
Also, in order to be a effective as a yellow light, it needs to be an actual source of yellow light. If you have only a filtered lense, you're getting less lumens out of the light since it takes out the other spectrum, and a non-filtered white light would do you better.
And how about a "I like it, but wouldn't want it." Vote?

I didn't know the National Hot Rod Association set standards for fog lights!I guess you meant NHTSA.

Your answer would make more sense. Wish I could find the exact quote though. Anybody got Mr. Tang's number?

I voted "love it hope it fits my GT" but even though I really do dig it, I wouldn't want to put it on my car. Had it came that way I wouldn't complain but I have grown rather fond of my big fog lights and GT grill.
I remember when a photo shopped grill just like that was floating around, though man thats cool. Glad it become a reality.

I voted: hate it. It might grow on me, but it has not yet.

Put me down for old school...
Love it, but foglamps (in grill) only belong on GTs, and Mach1's
The present past and future fog lights in the grill don't belong on the inline 4's & 6's, and not the v6's, and not the the LX and the Granda (spelling?). Only on GT's and Mach1's. IMHO
The only thing that makes me waver a bit is this V6 is more powerful that many of the GT's ever made, Makes ya thnk do it? :scratch: Maybe the new school's got somehting to show us.

I think it is too busy and too big.
The pony and corral are oversized IMO and take up too much space in the grille. my personal opinion is they should have used the dimensionally "flatter" and smaller '68 Mustang pony & corral as a benchmark.
Additionally, the "mesh" is too open, so shows too much of the blocked off area of the grille.

I didnt know they were mostly considered driving lights. So I wonder why we and Ford calls them Fog lights? Just another marketing deal I guess?
When it comes to the color I dont believe I have ever seen yellow fogs on any car built within the last 5 years if not longer. Also, all the fogs on any other car I know are indeed mounted low to the ground but again they are not yellow. I wonder why that is?

I really like it,but wish they would offer pony package with a wingy delete...For me it makes the V6 front end more macho looking (or that could be effect of larger honeycombs)...im thinking it will look real good with vista blue... hint hint brad

I love them, but won't be getting them. I guess I don't love them enough to put them on mine, but I can't wait to see them on others 
I voted fogs are too small since I was mixed in everything about them.
