Did you install HID bulbs in the stock halogen housing??? Be careful you're not blinding oncoming drivers. To do it right and safely, you will need hid projector housings.

Agree 100%. Well said.

People who see the new lighting in person tell you that they like it because they know that you carry a gun.

Mustang enthusiasts on the internet can be more candid.

As a note, this is how you let someone know you don't appreciate a modification. Classy approach. I also don't love it, but it's not bad. I hope it makes you happy!

Thanks Eric. Communication is a tricky thing. Mutual respect is the key to everything. It's how I treat my leaders, peers, and employees. I find it lacking severely in today's society.

I'm not a big fan of LED "landing strip" lights as well. I don't care for them on the Audis' or BMW's either. I must be in the minority group though, as I see more and more of them.

It's almost to a fault. Meaning, every manufacturer is doing it as an option or stock. It's a bit overdone... Like a passing fad.

^ Car still looks hot, Chrissy. Love the overall "look" your external mods you have done. Esp the rims, grille, and striping. Am still not a fan of the lights, as it clashes with your overall "look". But as others have already stated, totally your call.

Either way, I still think your car and its theme is great.

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 agree that the led's on the OP's car are a bad look (no offense). But your nuts if you don't like them on the 13's. They flow just fine.
