Default Halo Headlights

I saw a Mustang like mine the other day and he had the Halo's in both headlights and fog lights. Looked really nice to me. Are those worth it? Hard to install?

That's kind of the information I am looking for. I am clueless about them. Just liked the looks of them.

Probably just the headlights, the headlights and foglights is way too much IMO

As for the whole warming up thing... that wouldn't be an issue if you went with the best way to do it now, which would be LED halos. They are fairly new, but they're much more bright and reliable. They last longer and don't take any time to heat up.

As far as the install, pull the headlights apart, mounting the halos is really easy if you get the right size, just measure the size that you want around your headlights, should be like 60-80mm or so, larger if anything.

If you need any help let me know, The whole retrofit thing is easy on small tasks like this, I'm actually hoping to finish mine here soon

Thanks Mitch. I was looking at these, not that I will buy them. Just seen them on Ebay. Does this use any part of my original lights?

I think my fiance put the halo fogs on his 05 Saleen but I don't have any pics of them installed. (Steve Saleen hates fog lights and never put them on his cars).

Looks like a direct replacement, but it also looks like they may have just done the DEPO method of painting stock headlights and reselling as new/black housed headlights.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it's a nice job of making everything clean.
