Might want to give them a call.
Thanks. I will give them a call.

I can't pull my grille off, due to the winch. Will I have an issue putting it inside the bay, or just extra cable? I may be able to tuck it in through the top of the grille, but I don't know.

I took my whole front clip off when I did mine.

I did it with the grille off and I wish I would've just pulled the header panel.

Okay, I've got my Autopal euro headlights in, have had the Putco harness and Hella 100/90 (I think) bulbs for a bit....how straightforward is hooking up the wiring harness? I'm a bit inexperienced with such things.

Do you have a link to where you got the autopals?

you might have some wire length issues. I just removed the grill and bezels from mine. I would imagine it being a pain, or untidy in the engine bay otherwise. Pulling the whole front clip is completely unnecessary.

What's the difference between the euro where the reflector focuses the beam and the regular where the glass focuses the beam? Is one better than the other?

Output is great!!! Not like a brand new car, I say that cuz my mustang is bright as hell and it's stock.

But most definitely huge improvement over stock.

I am putting HID's in them. The 4300k bulbs. To have the white light to match everything else!
