CJ Pony Parts has a youtube video showing fog light install on a GT350. I would imagine it would be similar to that.
Outside of the actual wiring, are the front signal light housings the same on 15-17 regular mustang, gt350, and now the gt500? As they make some pretty cool smoked sequential front signals lenses/leds.

The 15-17 front turn signal housings fit in the front of the bumper on the GT500 and the electrical connection is the same. However the mounting of the housing in the rear is not. I had to cut out a portion of the plastic in the rear to get the housing to fit and mount in the three mounting holes. I have the Morimoto XB Sequential LED Smoked Turn Signals.

AWESOME you have already done what i plan to do....any pics would be appreciated. I planned to use Diode Dynamics, what are your thoughts between them and Morimoto? My thoughts are the DD seem to be a little darker and that is what i am after...kinda make them dissappear and have that area look all black.

The signal lights in my car will become the DRL's they will no longer be signal lights which is why I was looking for front placement locations.

I do like the DD turn signals and I feel the smoked is very similar on both them and the Morimoto. The DD's have a daytime running light that is on when not using the turn signals and I did not want this. I wanted the light to be off all the time durning the day, giving that area a darker look. I guess I could disconnect the DRL part of the DD's if I had wanted to.

Pics? All the photos I have uploaded in the last three months show these turn signals. Here are a few of them again.

..and, if you hadn't used such a GREAT lens, the pup would have been more in focus. (I get the depth of field goal.) <grin>

Great, good to know about the DRL, cause i would also NOT want them on during the day. Is this something as simple as not connecting something?

What headlights are those and what is your opinion on light output vs stock? I am torn between those and stock......And i really dont want to cook my lights and seperate to add stuff so may just leave them alone.

thanks

I have a question for you, seeing that you added led's to the headlights I presume you took apart the headlights to do this, did you see the led boards for the tri-bars in the headlights?

Those are either morimoto or raxiom headlights, so they are plug and play complete assemblies.

Sorry, I am not on this forum every day. Yes, like protraxduner said, these are Morimoto LED headlights and they are plug and play. I like the LED headlamps as they are full brightness right away opposed to HID lights and I feel the light output is similar. I only drove my car once at night (only on the way home from the dealer) before I changed them so really cannot compare them.

Thanks, I like the HID's they worked for me. If you still have the original lights could you do me a favor and take a picture of the part number so I can compare with the 15-17 part number. I plant to change the LED boards and wanted to know which version is in there the 15-17 or the 18+ or are they completely different. Thanks.
