Anyone upgrade the headlights and fog lights with Diode Dynamics?

If so do they give more light?
Easy to install?
Any issues with overheating the wire harness?
All feedback is appreciated

We will need to know what year your car is. There was no 2017 GT500.

Please click your upper right avatar/account settings/vehicle details and enter your car year. It then shows under your screen name, which helps in conversations here. We cover multiple years of the GT500 on this forum. Be sure to click SAVE at the bottom!

Good Morning
Thank you for your email
If you send me exact instructions I will try to update
I did try earlier and have failed -might be a 62 year old thing

Happy weekend- Ian

I’ve upgraded My fog lights and front turn signals. They work great and are much brighter than factory. The fog lights match my HID headlights . I didn't get any hiperflash or have any issues that some have mentioned.

What year is your car?

No issues installing?
No overheating the wire harness issues?
Do you have the part numbers so I can order the exact one's you installed

These are typically plug-and-play but the downfall to alternative LED bulbs on the market is that heat dissipation is awful and reliability is hit or miss.

However, the most important part is 95% of LED headlight bulbs on the market haven't been designed to be optically correct for on-road use without blinding other drivers.

If we offered an SL1 bulb for the H13/9008 dual filament bulb, we would advise our product for a hassle-free experience but don't offer a dual function high/low bulb at this time.

You could contact CJPonyParts, Steeda, or HidKitPros for assistance finding a quality dual filament bulb for your ride!

@Diode Dynamics Thank you for your video - very helpful
Re 2007 Shelby
Can you send me the following 2 links so I can order
1/Fog Light plug and play
2/Headlight plug and play
I want the fog and headlight to be Much Brighter and ensure they match each other when the lights are on
Please ensure no heat issues and are plug/play
Thank you!

Hey there!

The H13 Halogen bulbs should be fine for low/high beam operation.

However, we recommend upgrading to a higher-quality option for true performance and overall satisfaction.

If you haven't ordered yet, give hidkitspros.com a visit or call for expert advise!
