Thats what I was wondering about when he started this mod. Granted, a good portion of the light would still hit the ground, and it would probably be brighter then it was if his original lenses were yellow(ing). It just wont have the tuning that a new set of factory replacements would have. A set of Hella 90mm units would fit, but it would require some decent trimming of the original headlamps. That is why I just scrapped my original lamps and mounted them directly to the header panel. Rectangle quads might be a better idea with the horizontal lines on the front of the pre-98 Mystique.  I do see it being able to turn into something different, that would actuall give world class performance, not run of the mill Ford performance.

I remember my first headlamp mod to my car. LED city lights. I got flamed about that, not this bad, but it happened. The LEDs went away when I blackened out the unused surfaces in the headlamps and corners (Hightower type), the car looked much better. Those lamps faded again, and so they gave way to an assortment of Hellas with brighter and more controlled lighting then almost every other Contour on this board.  The best part, unlike Milan, I dont plan on copying my mod for anyone else. I will help out if questions are asked, but other then that, nobody will have the same setup that I do, ever.
