found this write up on how to retro fit our headlights:
http://3.7mustang.com/forum/showthre...dge-Headlights

I also found a nice series of youtube videos on how to retrofit some headlights, very detailed (not mustang headlights, but still gives you a good idea of what's involved and how technical it is): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imIig...eature=related

There's a reason that guy on svtp charges $700 for just the labor. I may try to retrofit a set of headlights for my mustang this summer depending on my finances and how much free time I have.

I looked thorugh that write up...WAY too much work and money LOL I'll stick with my $50 HID's and blind people

But really, I'm suprised no company makes a headlight with them in it...Hell they make ricey LED tail litghts and some GROSS looking headlights...figured someone would make these.

Projectors just look like **** on our cars....no way around it, although aereon's does look sick.....my 10k hids kinda suck. I love the color though. It doesn't help that my headlights are tinted, sacrificing most of my light hahaha, oh the price to pay for looking sexxxxy

Maybe so, but they look ratarted. The dumb bars over the blinker lense and having two "eye-*****" .....if it looked like a STOCK headlight with ONE projector they would be much better...

I guess I should specify "I'm suprised no one makes a STOCK looking headlight with a single projector lense inside."

$700 to retrofit a headlight like that and all that work is not worth it. Spend $50 for HID's and get gears installed for the rest of the $650 you saved lol

I think a headlight with a single projector would only look good on the 94-98 sn95's. Since you get the two piece headlight and not a single piece.

Though I have never seen anyone make one out of that. I would be willing to try if it did not cost so much.

until i can find a cheaper way of doing it im probably just going to stick to my regular lights. they've done alright by me so far.

If you pitch a tent for more than 4hrs go to the emergency room or better yet a cat house.
