Whatever you do, DONT do blue, unless your only going to turn them on in your driveway. My buddy got busted in a parking lot with them on and its a $500 ticket here in MA. The cop also told him he could have gone to jail for "impersonating a police officer". So i'd go with any other color.

And yes there is 3 LED's out on the passenger side light, now there is 3 LED's on the drivers side out. Flashtech will be getting an email about that, kinda ticked off. BUT still, they are great and turn heads like you wouldnt beleive.

Here are some more pictures with my buddies charger:

I was thinking about getting them but I am worried about the instillation. Do you need to reseal the lights after you bake them or no? and also do they just stick to the bulb cover (not sure what to call it)? And also what did you wire them to?

The guy who did it for me said that with the charger headlights you need to bake them after you re-seal them. This was his first attempt on a mustang headlight and he said that he didn't need to bake them after re-sealing them. The ring itself attached to the housing by clear silicone. He let it dry for 2 hours or so and he said they were on there and not coming off. What I did to wire them was, wire a switch to the battery and then run the lights to the switch. Real simple. That way they can be on whether the parking lights are on or off

It sux that some of the LEDs are already not functional.
All that time wasted and just to have to open the housings back up.
LEDs are rated at such a long life that they would have outlasted your
lifetime if they were properly manufactured/assembled.
For $149 for about $20 in LEDs and maybe, maybe $5 for the circuit board,
they are making a killing on those niche items.
They might look good on my Challenger cus the light are cut off by the hood on the top...
But $189 for the 'kit'? Plus more $$ if I want a color besides 'white'? Ouch, bend over...

+1 on the blue.
Highly illegal and you stand out like a sore thumb at night saying
'hey copper, give me a ticket...'

Angel eyes just don't seem to have the same look on the mustangs. I do like them on the other cars, beemers, camaro, charger, challenger. Interesting though.

$180.. and you don't even get a separate pair of headlights?! Seems stiff to me.. I'd rather get the CCFL ones AM offers for $199, at least those come assembled on a separate pair of lights..

I guess, if you wanted a different color than white this is an alternative, but $180 just for a ring of LEDs sounds like they're raping you, just my 2cents

CCFLs sork.
They just are not being made up to standards and
they dont last long before burning out.
Its a temporary mod at best.
Darn china carp...
