Functional grill lights?

[aerok]

Hey guys, Jeff from 777 here. The GTE lights we sell for the Mach 1 is an homage to the endurance racing cars that compete in WEC and Le Mans. Side note, pretty awesome that Ford is returning to compete in WEC with a Mustang this time around, rather than a GT. As per the brackets themselves, we use an industrial printer to produce our brackets, same machines used to develop MotoGP parts by Markforged. They are a mix of high temp resistant chopped micro carbon and nylon, not a PLA commonly used by inexpensive and traditional FDM printers. We also got back from SEMA, was cool to see additive manufacturing in such extreme applications such as the interior clamshell of the Hoonipigasus. My question is, how can we improve our GTE lights, and what is it that you guys would like to see from us?

like the lights, have not seen how to do the wiring? Just saw a YouTube video and for some seconds you guys showed the fascia with the lights

I have a Mach 1 and the switch does not have fog lights, do you sell the complete plug and play lights with wiring, switch, relays or whatever it might be needed (won't be getting the fascia)?

Thanks Jeff. Surely everyone appreciates you offering a solutions for the grill lights.

I will be very critical. For $500, the lights could have been mounted more discretely, at least use screws that are coated black. Also maybe paint/coat the printed covers so they don't look so home made. With the weird clover leaf type shape, light openings really don't match anything on the car, maybe make them rounded? There is no way the lights can be adjusted and the angle is fairly steep towards the ground. Those DD lights are probably fairly bright and will shine directly into the ground.

Having a halo type light similar to what Challengers have (even without the actual opening, as there is not much point of opening it) would be awesome. But just one person's opinion, happy to see you are offering an option.

Still working on my cheesy solution of mounting the flexible LED strips from Oracle. Figured everything out and cut them to size, just need to install. Painted the original covers gloss black so they reflect more light and will use beading wire to attach the strips.

Off topic, but always loved your contributions to Obsessed Garage, miss seeing you pop up in the background these days. Hope you are enjoying your new role.

Here is my low budget attempt. Using Oracle Lighting flexible LED strips cut to size. Mounted using beading wire. Covers painted gloss black so they are more reflective. Both lights are powered off of the driver side marker light. I think it came out fairly well.

I like halo lights like this lot more than any attempt at fog lights.

I agree, that looks so much better than any other solution out there so far. The M1's should have came from the factory with this setup.

It looks good, but too much resembles the Challenger. That's why I still don't seem to jump on that train.

Not a halo fan, they serve no function, I want more Light!

If I ever am brave enough to mess with wires myself, I may steal this setup for mine too. Amazing job!

That makes sense, if you drive at night or in a fog or heavy rain, which I don't (not with Mustang anyway)

Thinking of replacing the OEM grill light covers with easily removable smoked Lexan (for cleaning purposes) and mounting a pair of PAR36 sized lights on the crash beam behind the smoked "lens." There are adjustable mounting options plus numerous LED beam patterns and price ranges to consider once I have some time to do some development. Mounting auxiliary lights behind the smoked covers should be inconspicuous until you want to light up the night. I'm not very impressed with the stock LED Headlights, are the $900 Morimoto replacements worth the upgrade?

Check out these Mach 1 style bumper by American Muscle. These lights is what I would be looking for not bad at all. Now if there was a way to implement these lights into ours.
