toyotapartsdeal.com is an online source with prices that probably beat the local deal even with shipping.  Or print out their price and take it to the local dealer and get them to match it.  That kit is $16.49 on the website. 
 

I didn't know about the parts deal website.  I tried a different site (autoparts.toyota.com) - the nearest dealer that showed was 5 hours away (the one I finally called to order it is an hour away).   So yes, if that works better for you, definitely use it.  It's a screaming deal either way.

That is a great deal!

Anyway, sorry for the tirade, just what we are all thinking I'm sure. 
 

No worries.  Insofar as costs for parts (and service), be thankful that you don't own a Mercedes.  I'm gathering supplies to change the fuel filter and the dealer parts department charged me $30 for 4 little hose clamps.  After I got home I found out that I could have had them for about $2 each plus shipping from other sites.  I am kicking my dumb @$$

So, what do the lights look like?  Round sealed beams or some vehicle-specific thing?

Thanks John, I had forgotten about these.
Thanks TKO for sharing the website.
$16.49 + small shipping fee and quality product history.
The relay harness is worth a try for this price.

There's no fitment guide on any website, so it seems these are a Toyota universal replacement that probably fits any vehicle that ever used a 7" round headlight.  I'd have to measure to be sure, but they do look exactly like the headlights in my '07 FJ Cruiser.

John Ha - have you installed these yet?  Just wondering if there is phyisical issues with fitment in the Mustang's OEM headlight housing.

No, not yet - too many other things to finish ahead of this.  But there are others who have successfully installed them on the other forum.

The only issue I've seen reported is from someone who had an aftermarket harness.  He said that the headlight connectors in that harness didn't mate with the lamps in the kit.  But that's a debit against the aftermarket harness in his car rather than the kit (which comes with the appropriate connectors and harness).

There are several threads discussing this topic in the other forum, FYI.

SPEAKING OF HEAD LIGHTS.......

I just Googled "Toyota part 81110-60P70", and saw price ranging from like $15 up to $140 ...  

I'd definitely recommend either using the link TKOPerformance provided in post 2 above, or ordering it through your nearest Toyota dealer.

I think that's the high beam only kit though, and I'm not sure those would fit the Mustang buckets without some serious work.

Looks like what I bought a couple of years back for my build. I’ll have to check the parts numbers.   

I bought a wire harness with relays that plugs into the factory harness.   I bought it from NPD.

I went to the toyotapartsdeal.com site and filled out an order for the light kit.  When I got to the checkout, I discovered that the shipping cost alone was going to be more than the cost I paid the dealer ($23 including tax) to get the light kit.

So it might be better to just do a screen print of the toyotapartsdeal.com price page and take that to your dealer to see if they'll price match.

I thought this might be a valuable point of information to add here.

That is a good point.  You may also be able to get them on eBay at a slightly better price with shipping included.  A lot of eBay sellers for OEM parts will include free shipping. 

I actually had to get a new shifter for my FJ this week and was trying to get it ASAP and always like to give local businesses my business so I went to the local dealership.  The counter guy says they can have it tomorrow.  I said, what's the price?  He says $501.03.  I say, dude, that's full on list and I can buy it online for $331.04 you've got to get me a lot closer to that price if you want my business.  "Oh, that's the best I can do.  We sell everything at list."  So I said, then you'll never get my business nor the business of anyone I know.  Great business model BTW.  Then I sat in the parking lot in full view of his desk and ordered the part from Ourisman Toyota in Richmond who said I'd have it at the latest Thursday.  Cost with shipping was $358.22.  I mean, seriously?  Everyone knows about the internet now.  Do they really expect to do any business in parts?  I saved $142.81 by waiting at most 2 more days.  If I was really in a bind I could have rented a car for 2 days and it would still have been cheaper!  Then you hear people complain  about how e-commerce is ruining their businesses.  If you want my business you have to earn it, and work to keep it.  You don't do that by price gouging.
