Headligh Assembly Removal
 

Hi gang...anyone out there know the procedureto remove the headlight assembly on the 2011 GT 5.0 platform? i have a Roush 5XR and was going to put some halos in. Do not know if I need special instructions/tools...do i need to take the front facia off ..etc...any help is appreciated..


Kojak:)

Just curious, but why Halo's and not HID? I was thinking of switching my 2012 to HID, is that maybe a bad idea?

Halos
 

I think the lights are fine as is...I just wanted a little style and look with the halos..
:chacha:

Someone will help shortly I am sure and good luck with the mod. Pics when finished?

All I know is with an 05-09 you have to remove the front valance to get the headlights out.

There is nothing wrong going with HID's, the only down fall is you mighty get flashed, or not notice a big improvement unless you get projector's put in....wether you get the headlights retro fitted or buy aftermarket headlights.

Hey I don't mind getting flashed:D

This is a 2010 but should be the same

Neither do I...... hey what kind of flashing are we talking about again? lol

Didn't take the headlights out, but my guess is once you get this far, it's pretty simple.

Here is the pictured version....

That's perfect 1LOW...thanks...while you are there are the fog laps attached to the front bumper or do you remove the housong once you have the belly pan off and before you take the bumper off??
Thanks
Dave:tup

Just unplug the fog lights, the housing will stay attached to the bumper.

Lamps
 

Thanks...then if I wanted to remove the Fog lamp assembly it is probably just a few screws..would that be correct..?
Dave

Just looked at some pics of your front bumper and it's once piece versus my standard GT. We replaced the standard lower facia (the black section) with the CS style, which is why we took it apart. It was all intact and I don't recall how the housing was attached to the bumper.

Well you have given me a good start with thebumper, i amsure it is not rocket science so i should be able to figure it out.
Thanks again
Dave

This, and they are screwed to the backside of the grille.:tup

Fog Lamps
 

I opted out for now to just remove the Fog Lamp housing. Fun but doable. The easy part is you jack up the front end remove the 6 7mm screw bolts that hold the belly pan to the front splitter. There are 2 additional deeper set 7mm inthe middle of thepan don't forget those.
In addition there are 3 philips screws at the front where you took out the 7mm screw nuts..they are very tight be careful not to strip them.
OK pan slides out..now the fun..
In a very close are the Fog lamp housing is held in place by 4 7mm screw nuts again. 3 are relatively easy on each side. the 4th which is the top right is an arm killer..you can't see it it black ..fun..
Anyway you get it out press the fog lamp in towards the engine bay from the esterior of the front bumper and out it pops..tada
The real fun will be putting that 4th screw nut in when I install the Halos..

Kojak:chacha:

you are way more patient than me lol. I would be off to the dealer for this

Snake, there were a few moments when I was wondering..haha...but it is all packaged up and being sennt to AAC lighting Concepts in the US. They are going to install the Halos..Red of course and also paint the inside reflector to match..looking forward to seeing the results..I will post pics ...it will be in the New Year by the time I get them back.
Kojak:D

Can't wait to see those pics when you get the new lights installed!

Damn that will be neat

I hope this helps. I went through the same process with my 05.
