The position of the HID with the amber nearest the corner looks more like the Mach 1, which I like.

As far as the fog lights are concerned, I might go with a yellow light as per the cars on the le mans circuit. Matching the exact temp of the HID seems difficult.

Thank you for all the replies! I think I'm going to go with them and get the 7 bar roush grill. They look out of place with the fog lights in the grill.

Never hesitated one bit to get HID when buying the car, still think they're a good investment and kind of like the meaner crosseyed look.

HIDs- only if done properly.... Our Mustangs don't have the necessary deflector so it's like looking into a flash light for oncoming traffic.

Yup.. my RetroSolutions probably blinding incoming traffic

That's why I chose the 35w though.. to keep it minimal

Hey which chrome turn signals are you using? The ones I used for my Acura 3.2CL Type S always seemed to burn out or melt a bit. Which brand you have, and are you happy with them?

We also have our switchbacks that you can throw into your headlight for a cleaner look: All new Dual-Color Switchback design, perfect for Turn Signal Applications; The constant color is a very bright clean white and once you activate your turn signal(s) it switches to an Amber (Orange) and keeps flashing until you de-activate the turn signal then go's back to the white running light.

here is a link that you can check out a video to see these guys in action:

If you want to stand out we have these aftermarket Headlights in which you can throw switchback LED bulbs into the turning signal shown here:
http://www.hidguy.net/index.php?main_page=page&id=41

We Will be marking down these headlights to $320 shipped later today. If you want to go ahead and order these right away leave a comment in the notes that you are a member of this forum and you were quoted 320 and we will adjust the price. But these are cheaper then our competitors sell them for and manufactured by the same manufacture.

I got them from here: http://www.stangmods.com/Chrome-Ambe...bs-p/00729.htm

Here's my post on it at the time (more pics too)- https://themustangsource.com/f783/my...3/#post5945397

Had them in for 4 months. Overall I've been very happy with them.

Looks like cool technology.

Not sure if i would like the amber filled with white light as perhaps might be contrasting. and not sure how it would look? But still a neat effect.

Do these switchback LEDs come w/ resistors built-in? or do people have to wire in their own?

I use LED ambers on my car, but had to wire in resistors or else I end up w/ hyper blinking...

No we have the resistors to make these work and we have simple t taps that make these plug and play.
