There are kits to replace original headlights with the more powerful Halogen ones, but are there any high powered replacements for the original 67 GT foglights. I like the original housings; I am looking just for a replacement lamp that is more powerful. The 2006 with Pony option looks pretty similar and I have thought of using that whole kit with bars, pony/corral and lights, but I like the original look better.
Thanks for any help.

I have asked the same thing by emailing several Mustang shops but no luck. The only bulb available for the fog lights is the regular sealed beam. I think mine put out a fair amount of light. They are just about as good as the factory fog lights on most modern cars.

Another thing that might surprise you is to aim all your lights. I have driven some cars new and old that the lights are not even close to being aimed right. I have tried to aim them on the wall, but I don't like that method. I usually just go out to a dark road that has no traffic on it and play with adjusting them until I am happy. I usually adjust the high beam to be how I like it and then the low beam turns out to be good also.

If you want brighter head lights and want to keep the stock look, get a headlight relay harness and Silvania Xtravision 6024 bulbs. I think its 6024XV. I have this setup and it is great.

The regular Halogen sealed beams are less wattage than the XV bulbs which are the same as the newer capsule bulbs. The OE wiring and switch were never designed to carry the load of anything but regular non halogen sealed beams.

I have this relay harness.

Thanks for the reply. Good ideas on the headlights. What do you think about the 2006 Pony pkg. foglights on a restomod 67 coupe. The rest of the body is pretty much stock. The suspension front and rear come from an 04 Cobra and I plan to use a Shelby hood. Wheels are 17-8 with disc brakes front and rear. The look is updated but not much.

tx65coupe has excellent advice on aiming, I've done it that way for decades, learned it from my Dad. When you have the headlights done (do them one at a time by draping a towel over the other) then set the fog lamps to fill the bottom in below the lows. I drove my 66 with fogs for years, properly aimed they are excellent at night in the rain or fog.

I would just keep the classic fog lights. I don't think the late model ones will look good since they probably wont fit right.

The other thing you can do is get a higher output alternator.
