So,

All the aftermarket headlight (projector style) options for the V6 and GT mustangs say that they are NOT compatible with the GT500 front end.

Why?

If you re-used and seemingly did so without issue, your OEM headlights here, why couldn't you presumably have re-used aftermarket projector lights?

Anyone know?

I'm definitely going to be doing this at some point. I want this bumper and more than that, the entire set looks really cool.

May I also get the PDF file. I am a new member and have not posted enough to get the file. I am interested in converting my GT to the Shelby. I just think that front end is very classy but mean looking.

Here is a blsck GT done last year. Only real giveaway are the rims and brakes. I would do it all over again if I was rich enough to buy a new body style

Hey guys, sorry I have not been online in a while. I created a blog dedicated to this subject and put the pdf there so you newbie's can get the instructions. I will be adding links to all of my resources for locating the parts. I am glad so many of you are interested in doing this update. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I found all of my parts online in new take-off condition, and after selling all of my new take-offs damn near broke even. (minus the paint of course)

Fellow members, thanks for answering questions and forwarding the pdf, I have just been so busy at work I haven't had any time to browse at home.

I am using my stock GT headlights in the conversion, no issues. I know you can not convert from the stock headlight to the HIDs easily, but I have no idea why you can't have the stock headlights re-used in the GT500 front end. Perhaps the wire harness is different? Best to try giving them a call.
