ships from Hong Kong....
Yup, seller communicated with me nicely and was very professional. I'm not judging the item just because it shipped from China. I'm purchasing based on multiple things...Feedback, professionalism, detailed description of items, the sellers ad was very put together versus other Shody selling ads. Seller said the item would be here in 10-15 days. I will take pictures of items and install when receiving and installing.
UPDATE
I got the retainer rings trimmed down and working just like stock. You can see in the pics how much was removed (left piece), that's all you need to do. The piece on the right hand side is what is used for retaining the bulb in the housing as in the bottom pic. below. I used a dremel wheel from the inside and set the cut as close as possible to the tabs that hold the bulb in. I did that for each tab than finished cutting from the outside. Works like a charm. I haven't been able to adjust the beam yet as its been raining but I don't see any reason it would be any different than OE.

Ever get the pic? Trying to determine if they'll fit with my KC gear. Are these the bulbs you have? http://www.hidguy.net/2003-2004-ford-mustang-svt-cobra-fog-lights-led-upgrade/ V1 or V3 and what color? Thanks
Can you take a pic of the fog LED bulb next to your current fog light bulb and OE bulb if you have it? I'm trying to figure if the LED is going to clear my KC gear. Also get a pic sitting in the car of headlights only, I'd like to see how much brighter your 2600's are compared to my 2200's.

yes...V3 White. Ill go take the pic right now. They use a stock housing so there is no change to clearance
Perfect, looks like the OE bulb which will work for me. Thanks for the pics! Option #1.
So my H/L and Fogs are in CA, should hopefully be here within about the next day or two! Super stoked!!!!

I received my LEDs yesterday. Didn't get to take a picture yet. But they do look sick! Also, I had ZERO issues with the retaining ring. Everything fit like OEM. I will try to get good photos by the weekend.
What were you trying to figure out?
^^^ Pics now! :-D Cell phone camera no flash so we can compare please.
I will get the Fogs installed tonight and try to post everything up. Keep in mind I am HST (Hawaiian Time).
I have both HID and LED pics
Ok Tractionless1 the wait is over.
If you want the same LED set-up I used use this link, you need a 9007 and 9005: http://www.ebay.com/itm/26151417665...em=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr
And now the Pics as requested.
This is my HID 6k H/L and Fog Combo.
And this is the LED Ballast vs HID Ballast
LED Bulb on Right and HID on Left, the LED seems to be more crisp and a lot less scatter.
This is LED H/L and HID Fog Combo
And this is LED H/L and LED Fogs, notice how the fogs have less scatter and more of a beam pattern.
And Last but not least final product at night, jeeze I am blind now!!! LOL...It will go in order from Fogs only, H/L and Fogs, H/L High Beam.
I even took the time to get video, to show the magnitude of the brightness.

If you are on the fence about these, don't be, get them! They are worth it and much better than HIDs and much higher quality. The fit was excellent, I didn't have to mod the retainer ring or anything, it was a perfect out of the box plug and play kit!

Sav03cobra. How does it look from the inside. Do the LEDS provide more or less usable light over the HID's? The HIDS are bright but have very little beam pattern so driving at night has always been sketchy for me.
How about a photo from inside the car/drivers seat, at night, looking down a road or open space/parking lot, with just the fogs only, headlights only and then both.
They look great looking into the lights but how do they illuminate at night?
