about the grill

I'm appreciate if anyone can tell me how to remove the two lamps on the grill. My car is a 2014 GT.

I think those two lamps stand out, giving our cars the character as a Mustang. Sometimes they remind me of off-road Rally cars, I always liked the looks.

I think you meant LED fog lights. No OEM manufacturer makes HID fog lights because HID design defeats the purpose of fog lights.

OP, there is another thread on this page about options such as blank covers for the fog light holes or an aftermarket grille such as Roush.

Got confused. LED fogs. I love them... At night when I ride people just give way when they see those lights lit up in their rear view mirror.

I read that one. I'm planing to add two more fog lamps on the bottom size.

Add two more lights? Bear in mind that it is illegal to have more than four lights on at a time (two headlights and two fog lights).

Maybe in Florida but maybe not everywhere else...

Actually, it's illegal in the states I've checked including California, Florida, Georgia, Maine, New York, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. I suspect it is common in most of the other states as well.

While Texas does not seem to specify a maximum total front light count, they do specify that only a maximum of two fog lights may be installed (Transportation Code 547.328).

I've done a lot of research into lighting laws in various states because of a motorcycle group I run that uses strobes while providing safety patrol for charity bicycle events.

Obviously not arrested, smart ***, but it could easily be an expensive ticket and law enforcement officers love the opportunity to pull somebody over with an obvious violation as probable cause.

I just cut mine out, but that's cuz I went with the California Special Grilles and the OEM California Special/MCA fogs via a very high quality plug and play kit from Starkey Products.

I used the Instructions provided by Roush for the installation of their upper grille (part number 421392). The grille lamps are attached with 3 bolts per lamp.

Actually having front facing or Running more than 4 lights at one time is illegal in all states by Federal Law. More toward the 4X4 Crowd but it does cover all motor vehicles.
And I do think the OP wants to run the CS/V6 fogs instead of the GT, To me a good move, never did like the driving lights in the grille on anything.
