Has anyone replaced their head or fog lights bulbs with the LED replacements from American Muscle or LMR? I am not changing the housings, just the bulbs. If so...thoughts?

LEDs arent bright enough to use as headlights. Get an HID kit, its worth it.

HID's are meant to be used in projectors, not the cheapass 150.00 kits that come with so-called projectors,

I don't really know the aftermarket support for stangs very well, most ppl who do DIY kits piece proper projectors from higher end cars, BMW's, Infiniti's and Lexas cars and carefully install them in a stock style headlight assembly,

it's not easy but the really look good, light up the road well, and most importantly like what Mransr said, THEY DONT BLIND PPL


cheap lights are like cheap turbo "kits" cost little money upfront and before you know it you have things going all over the road, I have no hesitation to calling in and reporting ppl who run these cheap kits with 90w bulbs... they are dangerous to everyone around them
