I hadn't even noticed that there were differences in the front and rear headlights between UK and US mustangs (apart from clear taillights).

I also like the way the clear rear lights suit Magnetic, but I'm changing the bulbs in the front DRL's & foglights to LED's as per Gibbo's lead (see the "Oh My, What A Car" thread ...
