It's principal at this point to be honest with you. Not to mention the washers are visible behind some of the letters, I already tried that option. Washers work for many of the mounts, but not all of them.

New guy here... Traded in my Mustang GT for a leftover 2016 Lariat. Kids outgrew the backseat.

Thank you all for the information in the prior threads, even though reading it all has kept me up at night!

FWIW, I just received my Galaxymoto grill. I messaged them direct and requested the FORD letters with the matte grill with white LED lights. I received the correct matte finish, letters (FORD) and brackets, but I received the amber color LED that may or may not light up yellow instead of the white lights.

I just messaged the seller, and will update this thread once I receive a response and, hopefully, the correct lights.

Thanks again for all of the info... off to the paint shop!

When you test the LEDS, do they burn amber or white?

Have not tested yet, I will check them tonight or tomorrow.

The lenses are amber in color though. Requested the clear/white ones on the following link.

Can some one post a picture or the back of the GalaxyMoto Grill where the lights mount? Does it look like they can be put on the Paramount grill? I asked GM on ebay and his response was and I quote "Sorry our light does not work with that low quality grille ". Why would he not want to sell these lights and make more money if they will fit? I personally do not like the lip at the bottom of the GM grill which is why I went with the paramount one.

To me the GM isnt as nice as the Paramount. I am surprised FORD hasn't put a stop to him. The way the letters are held on the GM grill looks like it wont last. I have the Paramount grill and my lights were yellow but I used Lamin-x 1 coat on them and they are amber now. I still have a bunch left over if you guys want I can ship you some pieces.




Here is what I used
