If you want the fogs to match the HIDs better, look into a set of Hoen Xenonmatch bulbs. You'll be amazed how much better they look.

Yep, very happy with mine. Very good match indeed.

I did get the HID's because I really wanted to have great lighting performance. when it's very dark and maybe even raining, I felt that I did not have enough lighting on my last car.
however, just recently I turned on the fog lights in my garage just to see how it looks like. and I also find it a bit weird that they have a total different light color. well, but I think I'm not going to use the fog lights many times and they are illegal here anyways. haha

I can't believe no one else has pointed out that the 2010+ H.I.D. light arrangement is actually more true to the original 1970 headlamp/parking light arrangement (parking lights/turn signals outboard of the headlights). The non-HID 2010 headlights have it backwards, if anything.

I personally LOVE the mix of 1969 and 1970 in the 2010+ GT with fogs in the grill (yeah I know they were high-beam headlights in 1969) and the 1970 look with the HIDs.

Stupid state law requires inspection sticker to be centered at base of windshield...covering up the light sensor in the Mustang and myriad other cars. I contacted my state senator about it & he said to submit a request on his home page. Inconsiderate bastards in the Capitol...

LoL (not at you, at the state). I see a market for tiny mounts for stickers like for hide-away license plates. You get stopped, you pop up the sticker on its tiny mount.
