I've met people who won't use cruise control for any reason. I'm one of those who use it every chance I can. One reason for that is very similar to the reason you mentioned. It keeps me out of trouble with law enforcement and I've found it to be way more effective than radar detectors. I've...

That too! :)

My experience has been very similar to yours. I keep a fuel log and watch what the computer says vs what my calculations are and I thought most of my fill ups were anywhere between 1.2 and 1.5 mpg different. When I added up all my fill up cycles (66 of them), the overall difference was only 1...

If you bothered to read the conversation, I don't see how you could come to the conclusion that I was trying to downgrade. I admit I wasn't fully on top of the differences between HID and LED technologies. HID has been around for a while. LED seems to be the new favorite among upper end cars...

Hi everyone! Here's the update I promised. I did a little research on how to properly aim the headlights. Basically, a Google search on "2016 Mustang headlight aim." I found this...

Commbubba19, Thank you so much. That's what I was looking for and it makes perfect sense. Two thumbs up!! :)

Really appreciate all the responses guys. I have to admit, I hadn't really considered the aiming issue. The low beams don't give me the impression that they're off but I could obviously be wrong about that. Since checking the aim is the easiest thing to do, and cheapest, I'll let you know.

Checking the aim is certainly a good thing to do. In the case of my 2016 GT, converting from HID to LED, requires bypassing the HID ballast and that requires splicing some wires. The ballast is not needed for the LED bulbs and won't work with them either way. To be honest, the lumens count...

Hey Big, How does your digital dash look under bright sunlight with the top down? I've got a 2016 convertible which obviously doesn't have the all digital dash but I've found the in information display between the speedo and tach washes out pretty badly when the sun is at the correct angle...

I do understand. I was a little taken aback when I discovered you had to remove to front facia before you could remove the headlight housings to finally replace the bulbs. Ford could definitely have done a better design job than that. Fortunately, removing the front facia doesn't seem to be...

I would never compare the Mustang's headlights to a lifted truck with light bars. I've driven a bunch of cars that aren't any higher than the Mustang is. I drove an '06 Civic and an '04 S2000 that were better than my Mustang, headlight wise. My impression on the low beams is, they put out a...

I appeciate the responses guys, and I have to admit that I'm not keen on modifying the factory wiring, but do you have any factual reasoning for your opinions? The reason I'm considering this is that the one aspect of my 2016 GT that I'm disappointed in is the headlights. The low beams are...

You're not defeating the purpose of having a 10 speed. If you're driving under light load conditions, there's no need to go 1, 2, 3, 4 as those shifts are so close together that the tranny will run through them so fast as to not really accomplish anything. Going 1, 3, 5 will net you the same...

Has anyone tried these? https://www.headlightexperts.com/catalog/product/view/id/479/s/d3s-led-headlight-conversion-kit/category/2/ They require splicing wires but only needs two, a positive and negative connection. It obviously requires bypassing the factory HID ballast. The ad doesn't...

My favorite feature? Dropping the top! That's why I bought the convertible. :clap:

Yes, but in that case, the MTE should update itself as you drive. I bought my 2016 GT used and based on the average fuel economy is was showing at the time, which wasn't very good probably from the way it had been test driven before I bought it, the MTE readout was less than 200 miles with an...

I tried using the spray applicator a couple of times. It was ok I guess but like you, I wasn't that impressed with the results and it was a pain keeping the overspray off the windows and paint. Then I saw a post on the web somewhere where the guy was applying it with a soft bristled paint...

I'm pretty sure the miles to empty readout is calculated off the average mpg number. You get that adjusted right, the miles to empty should take care of itself. I just finished my first tank after making the adjustment. Before, the difference between the computer and my calculations was...

I'm not sure comparing a fabric guard to a hard painted surface is a fair comparison. The paint isn't porous. I took a 2.5 week, 3500 mile road trip last August. The weather was Ok most of the time but I drove for several hours through some real frog strangling rain. One was on I-30 between...

16 mpg doesn't sound out of the ordinary for your car, especially with mods on it. My understanding is that the MTE readout after a fillup is based on the average mpg reading you got on the previous tank so if the car was showing 16 mpg, the MTE should be closer to ~250 MTE after the fillup...
