    Not a fan, sorry. A bit too fast and furious for me.

    AMGMAN,

    I thought it would just look tacky, but it actually looks quite nice. Well done. A couple of questions if you could be so kind:

    1. Any issues with heat affecting/melting the lights and their housing?
    2. How are they activated - ie via the headlight switch, another independent switch or remotely?
    3. Are the lights annoying at night ie reflecting in your rear view mirror?
    4. Can you provide some install pics and etails for us less learned people?

    Cheers Vegas

    I believe this mod was done before either by Stefan or Lileprins. He installed a dimmer switch as well. Well, to each his own.

    Andrew who does many of our floor mats has them on his web site.....many of us have them on our FGTs....his works off a remote control. No heat issues with mine on the FGT.

    You can see them here:http://exoticare.ca/fordgt/

    Ahhhhh....FGT. One of the cars on my bucketlist, which most likely remain there for us poor souls living in Asia.
