Default AAC Halo's on 2011 Mustang.

I bought some Headlight Halo's for my new Mustang. Finally got around to installing them a few days ago.

They were a complete B!TCH to install! Getting all the glue removed after prying the headlights apart sucks.

The worst part was finding out that AAC gave me the wrong halos! I called them and after around 30 minutes of on hold/off hold, someone told me how to trim them myself.

I also had to make some aluminum rings to install the halo's into the lights. I am not sure if they correct ones for the '10-11 Mustangs are easier, but these sucked! I would NOT do this mod again!









EDIT 7/8/2011


Here are photos of the light apart and LED Halo Ring 3M taped in:





Here is how I went around curing the RTV after finishing the install:

I think they look pretty good. I have been waiting to see a pic of these installed on a 2010+.

I didn't end up sealing one good enough, so I have to pull it back apart. I'll post some pics of the light separated.

Did you have to remove the front bumper? How long did it take? I think they look great honestly.

Yes, you have to remove the front bumper to get the headlights out. From start to finish, I had the car apart for around 6 hours. Most of the time is spent heating the lights in the oven, prying them apart, heating them, prying some more and such.
