Dallas Fort Worth 5.0 Mustang Club - View Single Post - So has anyone actually did a diy headlight retrofit?

You can find a decent pair of factory headlights that some ditched for Raxioms for a good price typically.

If you are going to do it yourself, I recommend doing an OE ballast and bulb setup, like the Denso + Osram bulbs.

As for the projector, the Mini has become quite popular. I think the FX-R in a 2.5" might be big, but you would have to see what other people are using in S197 housings.

I recommend that you get with the shop that did Grant's, or get with Yuke's Retrofits (on Facebook of SVTPerformance) as he does a number of S197 lights and can tell you the best overall fit, as well as give a few pointers.
