Default Any idea if GTR headlights are on the way?

I like the mustang as is, and think Ford did an excellent job aesthetically. However, I wasn't around in the 60s or 70s, and am a child of narrow and cateye headlights. I love the GTR headlights, but haven't seen even a hint of aftermarket versions. Have any of you?

I am also looking for them but can't find them. I remeber seeing them around before but I can't find them now. Does anyone have any idea where they can be purchased?

I found them and they are at www.vantagesportscars.com and send an e-mail to Don in the sales department. Here is what they look like painted and installed.

Everyone has their own opinion and thanks Torch Red. The stripes are from Graphics Express.

i think that the entire lights of the gtr's are different

you can see in this picture that there are actually two sections, having two bulbs, not one bulb cut in half
also, the bulbs are very small, exposing the black housing, giving it a more extreme contrast to the rest of the car

Yes they are different but this is only to give the effect of a GTR syle and not the actual GTR headlights. I agree the authentic GTR headlights look much better. I am hoping they come out with the GTR headlights and if they aren't an arm and leg for them, I definately would get them.
