Chrissy... I am sorry, but I must respectfully say I am not a fan. If anything, those led strips cheapen the look of your pony. I may be in the minority, but it's just my $.02

Agreed 1000%, looked way better without them. Everyone and their brother is putting LED's in their headlights now, and most manufacturers don't appear to have any concept of a body line to follow. I would love to be able to remove/deactivate the ones on my 13' (they don't belong on a muscle car IMO). I think your car looks better with the black headlight surround flowing into the grill uninterrupted, but it's your car and if your happy with it, that's all that matters

I think if it was just on the bottom itwould look better. I think the leds r to "sharp" and pointed. But if you like them that's all that matters

Agree also. At least on your 13 and 14's, they are stock, and actually look of good quality. The one's the OP have, look like they were purchased from K-mart or Autozone and tacked on. I know they are not, but am just saying, that's the "vibe" it puts out. At least just to me. But you're right, if owner loves them, all that matters. But she asked for opinion, so I will give it.

Not a huge Roush fan, but I have to admit they look good, and this kind of cheapens them. Looks good on Audi's and the newer cars with the tear drop shaped lights. As long as you dig it though its all good.

Some chrissy love here, your car is a beauty. Sorry, the lights aren't my cup of tea though.

But, your said it in your caption. You like them, and that's what matters. Enjoy.

Although i like LED's, these are a bit overdone to me. Matbe just the bottom part and it would be great. But its your car, your money, and if you like thats all that matters!

My opinion may be biased because I work for a lighting company and am a vendor on the forum, but I think you can do way better with those for a fair price.

At the very least you should see our LEDs for those sidemarkers, The white LED strips don't mesh too well with the amber sidemarkers/turn signals.

But if you like it! Keep it! As my grandpa told me, "To each, his own"

PM me if you have any questions, or just want to talk lighting. I have a 2007 GT myself so I am a certified Mustang fanatic lol.

That's all that matters in the end.

I think it will look cool once the amber is gone

Think is they did them for free... since i installed new HID's in there and the ballast went bad 3 times in one month... so for all my hassle and for giving me a faulty product they did it for free....

everyone who has seen it in person has loved it... maybe its just the pictures and the angle of the picture i'll try to take some farther away....

If the car had the OEM HIDs or one of the aftermarket ones I'm pretty sure it would look much better. What you have right now has this retro and modern thing going on which are clashing with each other and makes the whole thing look odd, too "I got this at Autozone" kind of thing.
