Well, not exactly... I just ordered a set from www.mrbodykit.com and expect them to show up in the next few days. If install goes smooth, I'd be glad to send along any info that I have.. Doesn't do a lot of good to you now but would be happy to help just as soom as I un-box 'em. I'll be in touch soon.

Yes these are exactly what I have. I am not sure how to get the LED lights to work. Also, the headlights cross. How do I get them aligned?

My girlfriend got hers off ebay as well. there is about 8 loose wires in the back, 4 white, 4 black, right?
You have to splice these wires into your turn signal wiring harness for the LEDs to work. I went to Wal-mart and got some 3M connectors, then while I had the headlights out, I cut away the tape and plastic around the wires, and cut the black and brown wires. You don't get a lot of room to play with, so I had to balance the lights on the bumper and reach around them to get all 6 black wires and the 2 brown/4 white wires in the connectors. If your not comfortable cutting up your cars electrical wires, get professional installation. Do you mean your left light shines right and your right light shines left? The headlights are supposed to be pre-adjusted and non-adjustable, but they sit high in my girlfriends car, and people have flashed their brights at us thinking we had ours on. If anyone knows how to adjust these, input would be greatly appreciated.

Jack Touched Me...I Cried

All mustangs have a higher head light setting, people flash me all the time thinking I have high beams on, in reality, our lights are at exactly parallel with the road surface so when you hit bumps or are coming up hills it looks like they are on high...you can't really fix it, nor would u really want too, if you did change them it might make it alot harder for you to see at night... as far as criss crossing, you have a problem then, because the lights should only meet in the middle or be slightly appart, other then that no your lights shouldn't be criss crossed, if you take a night time picture it might help someone solve your problem...

Yes I mean my left shines right and right shines left. I will get a picture and post so maybe someone can help. In regards to your problem about being to high. You can adjust that. If you have the same set that I have there is a silver connection on the back. There is clearance for a phillips screw driver. That adjustment is for up and down. I found that out thinking that it was for left and right. Unfortunately they are not. Thank you for the wires. I thought that but was not sure. One last question. Did you join the white wires to the brown??

Yes, white to brown. I had to call the local dealership and confirm before I started cutting, but he said the brown was "tail light" and the striped was signal, so if you want your halos on with the parking lights, go white to brown, if you want them to flash on and off before you turn, go with the striped wires, but the voltage is higher, so don't be surprised they blow. I'd stick with white to brown.
Thanks for the adjustment tip. they were not parallel to the road, I was lighting up treetops with the projectors, they're not terribly off, just need to come down a smidgen.

american muscle has a installation video on thier web site. It seems to be decent help, it also come with written directions on the same page. I've looked into it already, I'm buying these projectors as well shortly. Good luck.
