What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[NolaJo]

Will you list your choice of bulb model for each location? Where did you buy the kit?

I bought them directly from Diode Dynamics.

I went with the brighter Stage 2 (HP5) kit in Cool White. The kit comes with all of the bulbs but you can order individually if you want to mix and match the brightness.

So far the most noticeable change is in the map lights. Much brighter than stock. I don't think it's too bright but if you're concerned about it then maybe you'll like the Stage 1 (HP3).

I don't find the vanity to be blinding at all. And I think there is only one brightness option on those.

I would definitely go with Stage 2 (HP5) for the trunk. That's a big dark space that needs the brighter light.

Hope that helps. Like I said, you can order each light individually if you're concerned about certain ones being too bright.

You'll definitely want the HP5 (92 lumens) for the trunk light. I didn't get the "interior kit" because I didn't even want the vanity lights. I figured they are fine as they are, and they never get used anyway. So I just ordered the map, glove box and trunk lights all in HP5 (92 lumens). If you get the backup light, get the XP80 (512 lumens) otherwise the light level won't be much better than stock. The XP80 is expensive, but the last backup light you'll ever buy.

+1 on the XP80. It makes a huge difference, much better than stock. Worth the extra money.

What bugs me about backing up at night is how those bright red tail lights just make the camera image really bad.

So I hope that the XP80 will "overpower" this effect, and make the camera image much better. Maybe someone can confirm my hopes?

Should be selling my PP wheels in a little bit, nice to finally off load then

The brightest DD backup light definitely makes the camera look better. Worth the $. Its a flood light at night.

Had to offset the price for the TSW I bought. That was 3k miles ago. I'm happy to have given them a new home. The black on black was too dark my gunmetal has nice contrast

 

[Drugdealr]

Gun metal is nice. I have an Orange car so black works nicely.

Installed the eibach pro kit. Rides really nice and drop looks perfect! Very happy with them. Only driven a couple miles on them so far though.

Mounted the ngauge. Not sure I'll keep it there. But I'll try it.

any issues with mounting it there since then? What did you use to mount it? Do you happen to have DIY info you could PM me?
Thanks a ton! :cheers:

So, I read elsewhere that one wrap of electrical tape will allow the gauge to fit snug, that was true. After carefully pulling the front trim off, some clips popped off that needed to be snapped back on, I popped the center vent out and then used a lightweight cloth to block the vent. I don't know if there will be condensation but I didn't want it on the gauge. Using anything ridged you can fish the wire up to the gauge. once the wire is in you can pop the trim back on.then plug in gauge and press in. Now I found a small plastic trim tool that I can use to extract the gauge if needed and it will not scratch.

So thats a summary of the install, Just carefully pull the trim. I started at the glove box, there is a small part to take of and then I went for the main trim piece .

I love the gauge there once I was able to properly configure it and have it display what I wanted.

Took out my clutch assist spring. No need to re-hash all the good comments people have made about it previously. I'm honestly disappointed in myself for it taking me so long to do lol.

Took me 14k km's to finally do it.. I was slightly worried because I broke part of the plastic top mounting points but quickly threw out the entire spring after driving without it.
