Default DO NOT GET THESE!!!! (if you don't want alot of work, that is)

For any members out there who are thinking about getting halo foglights, go with a well known company (Moss Mustangs, MustangsUnlimited, etc..). I made the mistake of getting a set through ebay, which isn't the mistake, but got them from this company called BlingLights The lights themselves are made pretty well, but the wiring is DEFINITELY not vehicle specific. They say it's a universal fit, which is true if your battery is on the driver's side. But, because of how it's made, the switch that comes with the kit will NOT reach to the driver's side, nor will the wires that splice into the parking light's wire or ground. So as of now, I'm in the process of getting a refund. I've learned my lesson and will pay a little more and not cheat myself.

Yeah, that was one of their advices. To splice speaker wire to the wires, which would work, but isn't something I want to do. I'm just going to get the halo fogs from Moss, and get the fog wiring harness from ebay. Much less of a hassle.

So you are telling people to not get a mod because it requires more work than you want to do?

Not at all Boozshey, if that were the case, I wouldn't have asked you about the hose kit. If somebody doesn't mind doing the wiring, then go ahead. Personally, like I said, I would just get the halo's that are vehicle specific and call it a day.

But the title of your post says "DO NOT GET THESE!!!," that you made a mistake, that they should buy from a well known company.

But I do agree that it's easier to splice some wire together than it is to repackage and mail back, wait for a refund and then wait for the others to arrive.

I don't have a problem with doing mods or anything like that, because I fully knew that I would have to cut my grille, and drill in my bumper to mount the lights, I just didn't want to have to hack and splice. And all I'm doing is letting people here who don't want to have to cut and splice wires not to get these lights. If it's coming across as me telling EVERYBODY not to get these, then I'm sorry for that, because that's not what I'm doing.
