Your nearest WalMart store for 9.99 each.Drill a couple of hole in your V6 grill and go from there.These lights at WalMart are called utility lights and are 5 inches in diameter,thats what a lot of people are using.

Just a thought... I was wondering how this might look because I wouldn't want to lose the Mustang emblem on the grill. I hope you don't mind Mr Wick!

I would prefer to have foglights on my v6, but somehow feel that it's like sticking at "GT" decal on it....when it's not, and everyone knows it.

Nah. Putting a GT emblem is one thing--that WOULD make you a poseur, and it's tacky. But being aftaid to put FOGLIGHTS on your car--especially if the lights are different in size and appearance from the GT's--that's a little too overcautious. Lots of cars have foglights, 8, 6, and 4 cylinder cars have them. There's nothing inherent in the fogs that says wannabe. They're just lights.

I plan to do the foglight mod, and I have prominent "4.0" emblems on my fenders, so no one can accuse me of trying to pretend I have a GT. I just like the way they look.

If you like it do it! It's your car!!! I added a FULL Supercoupe kit to my 94 LX.. including the SC rims. VERY few people have called me a "poser" the couple who did were in hondas too

That picture is pretty cool with the lights in the middle,how do you guys do that.I ran out in the garage to make sure the lights were still where I put them.If you could figure out how to mount them there it would work.Out on the ends of the grill it is a big piece of plastic nothing in the center but the honeycomb but it looks good.I just put GT rims on the car last week with 255/50/17 BFJ G Force tires.I see nothing wrong with doing what ever mod to your car you want,if you like it do it.If I had purchased a GT I would not have had the extra money to put my own personal touches to the car,I like the GT thats why a lot of what I do is meant to resemble a GT,that should be a complement to the GT people.

Put em on if you want them. I have a GT and would have never thought you were "posing". And even if you were, to each his own. Do your thing.

Flight--
Check your local Pep Boys, they carry a similar light called the blazer c120 utility light which will work just as well...in fact, better, because the blazer light's casing is flatter in the back, which makes it easier to fit in place (VERY tight space behind that grill!)
Only drawback is, the blazer is a bit more expensive, about $17 in American money (still not exactly an expensive deal.)

I also put the GT wheels on my car, but I have the bullit type. I agree that it is mine to do with as I please (read that as what I can find the cash to do) I am thinking of putting dual exhause next. I sold the V6 wheels and it ended up not costing me anything. I tryed to order the bullit wheels on the car, but as you know they will not sell the 17" on the V6 car. Thanks,,,,Mark

Hi MrWick,

Could you give some info regarding the wiring? (How hard was it to set up, setup of the switch, etc.)

Thanks.!

Hey, what is the deal on your license tag? It looks like there are no numbers at all?

I imagine he photoshopped them off. Lots of people don't like to post their license plate number on the internet.
