Foxbody Mustang LED Headlight Upgrade - How to see better at night /// LED Headlights Instal

[@garywheeler2055]

Your videos are such a saviour. Thanks for clearing up the process. Not forcing us each to reinvent a wheel ! 👍🇨🇦🍻

[@KASLCustoms]

Yessir!

[@foxbodymotorsports]

I'm sold!!! I don't do much evening/night driving but this is an absolutely necessary upgrade!!! Thank you for the video another great one as always!

[@KASLCustoms]

Right on! You’re very welcome

[@krisf5247]

Wow what a difference!! Crazy when you see them both side by side.

[@KASLCustoms]

Yeah it’s 10 times better for sure!

[@sweetassugar2076]

Your better of driving around with two candles to see at night in a stock foxbody ! Them led lights make a world of difference wow ..let’s see 🤔 better night vision less amperage so the switch doesn’t get screaming hot and melts or worse catches on fire 🔥 and they are plug and play 😃 definitely a no brainer. Good looks buddy! Awesome info as usual

[@KASLCustoms]

LOL so true!!! Thanks a lot my friend - Hope you're well!

[@JOEBG13]

Thanks buddy your video was dead on and saved me alot of time and money. Your the best please keep the videos coming. Thanks again

[@KASLCustoms]

Right on!!! Thanks for the kind words buddy 🙏🙏🙏. Will do 🫡👍

[@stevebarnes9694]

Super helpful as always. Love this dudes content and delivery

[@KASLCustoms]

Thx sir!! Much appreciated 🙏🙏

[@broknrebuilt6552]

I did this exact setup and WOW!!!!. The difference is impressive, but not overkill

[@KASLCustoms]

Right on! Yes I agree 👍

[@chantalbanon9518]

Yes extremely easy as evidenced by this 62-year-old broad was able to change the bulbs a couple of weeks ago without any problems. 👍

[@KASLCustoms]

hahaha atta girl!!! 💃🛠💪

hey , i read all the comments and I havent went to LED's yet but Good Idea.

[@KASLCustoms]

Thank you. Yes they work very good!

[@derrickdaniels9947]

Thanks again for this video. Great stuff!

[@tony1959rams]

Thankyou Bro, this helped my 93 a lot. I already had new bulbs but really needed the adjustment. Much better now.

[@KASLCustoms]

Right on glad to hear!! Thx for reaching out my friend 🙏🙏

[@gtacarshows]

Lol, had the same high-school bulbs and yes I upgraded to the led. Awsome difference 👌

[@KASLCustoms]

Hahahaha - I think I bought them at a stereo shop 😂😂😂. Yes, these LED’s are no joke. I call them “The Binford 5000” of light bulbs 😉👌

[@CLEEN50]

definitely gonna get a set of these.

[@blueknights7576]

Another great video with great content for the Foxbody family!! Also keep in mind that our eyesight isn’t what it used to be when we were driving these cars thirty years ago…damn I feel old all of a sudden!

[@KASLCustoms]

Thanks buddy! Yes, I agree. While I was editing the video, all I could think about was how the "old lookers" ain't what they used to be either 😂. Thanks for reaching out and I hope you're keeping well!

[@tedjones450]

Nice video, I have a 86 GT with the 4 eyed glass bulbs, which I converted to LED but in the process had to change the housings to accept the LEDs. I followed the House of Dula channel which he did the conversion on his 86 also.

[@KASLCustoms]

Very nice! I like the look of the LED headlights in the 4 eyed cars 👌👌👌

[@stephenroberts7816]

Wow! What a difference! The stock headlights are like 2 birthday candles. Hahahaha. Great stuff as always man. Love this channel

[@KASLCustoms]

I know right 😂!!?? Thanks a lot buddy. I hope you and yours are doing well!

[@jecoboost1440]

I stumbled across one of your videos I really like them keep up the good work. One of the best fox body Mustang channels.

[@KASLCustoms]

Awesome!!! Thanks very much 🙏🦊❤️

[@coupestanger90]

I used to have the same diamond clear headlights and I hated the light beam they put off. Basically undrivable at night. Found a full 6 piece NOS set and put those in with the same highschool blue bulbs as you removed. It is way better than the offshore lights. I think a lot of the problem too is people dont take the time to aim their lights. Sometimes it take a few tries, aim them against the garage door, go for a spin and see how the light up the road. Also, ive heard of guy running an external relay to the battery to power the headlights instead of running all that amperage through the stock healight switch. I guess theres a voltage drop through the switch causing the output to be lower. Food for thought.

[@KASLCustoms]

Interesting insight - I had never heard about the voltage drop before… thx for the info 🙏👊

[@AwakeDude911]

i remember the pain of hid bulbs and was on amazon looking at LED bulbs and a million were there. these seem too make the most sense as an ez install ...i almost forgot about the old school dual hi low stuff too.. nice work keep this up and youll get a sub here !

[@KASLCustoms]

Yup I too horsed around with the HID’s too. Thank you for the kind words - glad you’re enjoying the content 🙏🙏

[@stickfigure4u1]

Great vid once again!! Thanks for the content, hello from Texas!!

[@KASLCustoms]

Thx buddy!!! You’re very welcome! Thx for reaching out my friend - hope you’re keeping well 🙏👊

[@Aristarcus86]

Installed these today. Work great. If you remove the adapter to get the locking sleeve over, note how the notches are positioned with the "Y" looking notch needing to be on top when you put the adapter back on, will save you a few minutes of frustraton.

[@KASLCustoms]

Nice! LOL - good point!!

[@KASLCustoms]

Thx buddy!! Yes they are definitely worth considering. I was out with the car last night and what a difference!!!!

[@bryankahler3160]

great video! I went on Amazon and couldn't find that brand. Maybe they stopped making them for our foxes?

[@KASLCustoms]

Thank you! Oh no...

[@mikedambowic5862]

Great vid! Also use relay on headlights so the power draw is not going though the switch👍👍

[@rickgreer4263]

what do you mean relay?

[@KASLCustoms]

Very cool! These LED's should help with a lower power draw as well

[@hotrodray6802]

LEDs have a fan because the transformer gets hot sucking juice. The LEDs DO use a lot more amperage than you think.

[@robertlombardi2228]

Can you do a video on how to repair the door/ignition chime on a Foxbody Mustang? Thanks 😊

[@KASLCustoms]

There actually is a procedure to it. I have the write up somewhere…? If you need something quick, a replacement from another car may be an option 🤷‍♂️

[@robertlombardi2228]

@@KASLCustoms I found a video on KZbin on how to repair the door chime. I removed the door chime from under the dash and opened it up replacing the black foam with a rubber O-ring. With the key in ignition and or headlights on, the chime chimes again! Thanks for your feedback about this issue. 👍

[@dennis17116]

Great video! Saved me time looking for an LED headlight. Purchased them on Amazon. How are yours holding up?

[@KASLCustoms]

Nice! They are still running strong in both cars 👌

[@johngriffith9598]

Thanks for the great content as usual. It's ironic, I just installed LED bulbs in my fox last week. Not all bulbs will work with the deeper locking rings. It depends on the shape and size and the wire coming out of the side of the bulb. I had to trim my rings down to something more like the aftermarket ones you show. No big deal though, 2 minutes with a dremel

[@mikedambowic5862]

👍👍👍😄

[@KASLCustoms]

Thanks my friend! Nice work on getting it figured. I too had heard various results with different brands. These ones worked perfect 👍

[@jesusmunoz5184]

Good morning, what is your update on these LED lights? Any issues with the factort light switch burning out? Read about installing a relay in-between factory harness and LED lights, was this performed on your vehicles? Thank you in advance for any response.

[@KASLCustoms]

The update is all is perfect. The nice part with LED's is they are a lower amperage draw so I don't see any reason to worry about overloading the circuit/switch

[@patrickf4692]

You're right abooot the replacement bulbs on the 87-93 aero cars...My 86GT however with 4 fresh halogen sealed beams plus the stock 750 marshal's were more like 747 landing gear lights....I got flashed constantly due to the light output even adjusted to spec. My 91 with dingy yellow lens and no fog lights were as effective as candles. I am pretty spoiled with 2019 Fusion Sport with LED everything....its also a twin turbo V6 that absolutely embarrasses them in every aspect of measure (minus sound and character) that can be taken...I know which I'll keep forever though--it does sound faster and gets more attention than if I was driving a Lambo.

[@KASLCustoms]

Hahahaha very well said my friend!!

[@rag-foxnine-tre9382]

I need those

[@dennish9519]

so have you upgraded the other lights to LED? If you did, I am trying to find if you had any issues with the turn signal lights not working correctly, I hear that you may have to add a 50W 6ohm resistor in there somewhere for them to flash correctly.

[@KASLCustoms]

No sir, I still run old school bulbs

[@91Lx_vert]

I've been wondering if this upgrade was worth doing. Thanks for being the Guinea Pig! Lol

[@KASLCustoms]

No problem 😂👊

[@crazyhorseracing6130]

Do these have both hi and low beams?? Some LED's only have one beam... Thanks for the videos!!

[@KASLCustoms]

Yes they do 👍👌

[@michaeldowney8429]

I wonder if the extended length of the OEM locknut will cause the LED to fail prematurely due to interfering with the cooling fan ?🤔

[@KASLCustoms]

I'm not sure. The only reason I have smaller "lock nuts" is because they came with my replacement headlights. The fan vents to the rear so I think you should be fine - especially while driving i.e. wind movement past 👍

[@matthewmeisterling7145]

Hi, the amazon link is broken.

[@morganwheatley1489]

the led link doesn't work any longer. any chance you have an updated one?

[@KASLCustoms]

oh no, k I'll have a look...

[@tomasfonseca7796]

NICE!! BUT just ordered mine and it seems like I got the wrong ones. The connector is just one pin? Maybe I'm missing an adaptor? Or I just ordered wrong part. Part # ? Anyone?

[@KASLCustoms]

Oh weird? Did someone change the harness in your car?

[@GearHead704]

I did 6k miles with the old headlights this year and a lot of that was at night. Yeah that was a dumb decision. BIG difference for sure

[@KASLCustoms]

Lol - they really are terrible 😂. The LED’s help a lot buddy 👍

[@CLEEN50]

do you plan on changing all the bulbs on the exterior to led?

[@KASLCustoms]

No I don't. I have changed the licence plate light to led though

[@Dee2000]

Thanks for the vid!

[@KASLCustoms]

You bet!

[@2010willyz]

How do they do with oncoming traffic? Anybody flash you thinking your too bright?

[@KASLCustoms]

Funny you ask because I only drove with them after the video was filmed. No flashes what so ever 👍

[@jucedcustoms2274]

Will the extension of the oem headlight cap inhibit the cooling provided by the fan on the LED bulb?

[@KASLCustoms]

I’ve had a few other people comment on this, for what it’s worth, I personally wouldn’t lose any sleep over it because there will always be air movement past the bulb while driving and it he bulb actually vents out the rear as well 👍

[@TooBrokeToWheel]

What brand housings in the green coupe?

[@KASLCustoms]

LMR

[@_moes_garage_]

Ok so I've heard that you shouldn't put LEDs in the stock style headlights... Do you know anything about this? Any weirdness with your light setup? Thanks for the help!

[@KASLCustoms]

Not that I know of 👍

[@scooterbit2221]

Bought and installed these on my ‘91 but when I hit the high beams the lights dim. Anyone else have this issue?

[@KASLCustoms]

That’s very odd? Did your high beams work as they should prior to installing the LED bulbs?

[@Metlupass2]

Were you able to find a fog light that matches the headlights ? Thanks

[@KASLCustoms]

Hey there. Sorry I haven’t had a chance yet but will be looking for them. I’ll keep you posted 👍

[@brandonjourney1314]

+1 following want to do the same

[@randischwarz5072]

I think you may have erred in using the stock locking rings. As someone with an engineering background I believe the reason for the shorter locking ring is to help dissipate the heat generated in the LED. While the bulb itself does not got hot, the circuitry does. You may want to change the locking ring to ones that were provided with the bulbs. You may also need to have the headlights re-aimed so that the light does not go into an oncoming driver's eyes . How come your assistant was not in the garage helping you?

[@2010willyz]

The bulbs dont come with lock rings. The aftermarket len housings do. If you really worried about saw the factory one down

[@randischwarz5072]

@@2010willyz They were called lock rings in the video. I think you missed something in the video. The rings that came with the bulbs, worked fine, they are just 1/2 the depth of the factory rings. LEDS have cooling fans for reason, a knowledgeable person would understand that. You do not want to block any cooling effect by covering the fan end.

[@randischwarz5072]

@@2010willyz BTW, My 2013 has HID headlights that were standard equipment.

[@2010willyz]

all I'm saying is the lock rings that were half size came with the aftermarket housings he bought not the LED bulbs themselves.

[@randischwarz5072]

@@2010willyz no the bulbs and lock rings all came in the box as a kit. I actually looked it up on Amazon. I am thinking of using them in my 2015 Outback. Only my Outback has projector housings, so I need some technical assistance for questions.

[@rickgreer4263]

Do you have the item number for the lights and rings ? where did you get the rings ?

[@KASLCustoms]

The rings came with my replacement lenses that I bought from @latemodelresoration and the bulbs I just searched out on Amazon. You can actually search them by the year/make/model of your car right on there 👍

[@chantalbanon9518]

So true about the light quality. But can someone please tell me what is up with the windshield wipers 🙄

[@KASLCustoms]

If your wiper aren't working, try tapping on the wiper motor with a small rubber hammer or the handle of a regular hammer. The winding inside the motor can get piled up with moisture/rust and sometimes you can "knock" enough of it off to get them working again. Much like tapping on a starter 😉

Any opinions on glare? They say you can't (shouldn't) just put a LED bulb in a halogen housing as they were not designed for them and the light will scatter/glare everyone in the eyes.

[@KASLCustoms]

Yes you do bring up a good point and it is definitely a concern to have in a generic sense however I don't notice any at all in the 87-93 foxbody headlight housings.

🔔😎 THATs the problem I had with LEDs. Look at the patterns The LEDs blow light everywhere. No focus cutoff like modern lights. Just a big blob of white light shining at other cars. Bright. I could see... But Hate the ones I had.

[@hotrodray6802]

BTW the Sylvania super bright DOT legal replacements are a LITTLE better than stock. $55 pair

[@hotrodray6802]

Looked it up. My 6k LEDs were 8,000 lumens EACH. Super halogens are less than 2,000.

[@hotrodray6802]

🔔😎 Check the voltage at the light with the engine running 1500 rpm. Should be 13.8v at the light. I've found some older cars with 11.8v. Replaced the switch, didn't help. I have added relays to the system so the headlights get a full 13.8v all the time. JME 😎 Also there is a major quality variation from brand to brand. I don't know how to determine what's good without buying and trying. Anybody use the LMR bulbs? 😎
