You are absolutely right!!
Love the look of that Mick. What process do these guys use to do the conversion. I have been following the ideas of a few people on here and it looks very complicated and expensive.
Hi Graham. Your right on both aspects. this is a very complicated & expensive exercise. But I did want to get them Done. It involves taking the front off and pulling the headlights apart. Taking the front off is the easy bit as I've already done the Lower Grill.....but there was no way I'd even attempt the pulling apart of the headlights. The rubberised gunk that Ford use to seal the headlights doesn't take too kindly to come off.
Job was done in 2 days (including a public Hol). More than Happy with the outcome. Now looks like a Standard US Mustang.
Looks good Mick. I would say 1 day was simply the time removing and replacing the bumper.
I can split them in one hour each but there is about another hour in correcting some minor distortions of the rear housing assembly back to perfect. The Perma Seal is definitely a bitch if you approach it the wrong way.
Assuming average labour rates of $100ph if you paid around $800 you got a reasonable deal.
Did he actually split them or cut a hole?

Looking at the video I'm not clear as to whether the tri-bar DRL's turn on at the same time as the standard DRL's as there was a delay. On the lower spoiler was I seeing Fogs or LED DRL's?
Hi Frostee, Not sure about the delay of the DRL's turning on later than the Tri-Bars, wasn't around when he made the video. Yes, they are LED DRL's, whole car is now all LED. Cheers.
With the Tri-bar DRL's and the standard ones on the bottom of the front spoiler, I suspect you may be unroadworthy.Hi Frostee, Not sure about the delay of the DRL's turning on later than the Tri-Bars, wasn't around when he made the video. Yes, they are LED DRL's, whole car is now all LED. Cheers.
I have had so many requests for my Splitting Headlights info that I have recreated the temporary website again.
Here is the link. Its a free website so no bells and whistles...LOL
Please understand you do this at your own risk. And, if there is one thing I would suggest its...DO NOT TRY THE OVEN METHOD...!!!

Cheer Mick. I think its important for people to understand that this is a process that does require a lot of work and will cause damage. With patience, and the right approach the damage can be limited to minor and totally repairable.
