Did your girlfriend buy her Pony new?
I need to check mine, it's covered right now and I'm getting ready for work.

I bought it for her used from a Ford dealer. Only had about 9300 miles, was garage kept and clean as a whistle. NO evidence of ANY body work.

My g/f and I plan on pulling both Stangs out of the garage one night soon and will compare the patterns from the headlights. Since she has "*****" (omg, that just sounds WRONG) and I don't (that sounds worse!) AND we both have the same brand bulbs, it'll be interesting to see if there's any difference.

Yea I bought mine from a dealer with about 9,000 miles on it, no reported accidents. The back story on mine was the guy was over his had with the payments and they reposessed it, but the guy did leave a little log of oil change records and gas mileage etc with the book so I think he was keeping care of it. Let me know what ends up happening with the light patterns. When I find out which one belongs and which does not I'll probablly just change out the bad one. Although, like I was saying I don't really know how it would have broken, it is all around pristine.

Seeing that we are talking about the lights, does anyone have the Euro Design HID lights? I bought a cheap set of them, 8500K "Xenon-Krypton" lights and threw them in yesterday (thats when the mysterious one sided ball was discovered). Has anyone used these or have any feedback? I didn't get a chance to drive around with them yet but just based on how they lit up my street I think I like the factory halogen bulbs better.

my 07 doesnt have the "*****" on either light. The output is great though, has a nice cutoff line almost as solid as with projectors. Odd thing is it seems like the cutoff line raises when i switch to highs...
