Wheres the pentagram and candles it took to resurrect this thread? 
They are being tested. Supposedly they're in a lab somewhere where a lifetime of use and conditions can be accelerated and reviewed. That's why they're not on the car, it wouldn't be a fair test to drive them around for a few months and then validate them for a 100,000 mile warranty.
So, keeping that in mind; since the mules have already been built, and beat to hell - why would you swap out the lights when the temps are doing their job so well? For spy-photographer's pleasure? Please - Bob Lutz already gave them the "no more camo" precedent.
And now that they've become such a big deal, what with the Halos on the Concept and now the secrecy we've attributed to them...I don't doubt they're trying to guarantee they've got a few surprises for us come final unveil time.
It's a good thing there won't be 4 lights, then - huh?

I personally can't stand the 4 headlights on the mules. The whole character of the car depends on those two large headlights. I can live without the halo's, at least maybe have an option for them, but switch to 4 headlights? That would be the dumbest move I've seen yet.

Ok, I feel a little better now.
I was getting kinda worried there for a minute.

Ya I absolutely do not get why the headlights are such an issue to them why not at least use something that looks similar. I mean I doubt when I see the headlights I am going to be impressed or something. As long as they are HID's who cares?
I put my money on pop-ups though.

They used those because they were the easiest to incorporate low and high beams, and turn signals. Find me a single headlamp, with all of those functions, that can fit in that space, and would be cheaper to obtain than that simple setup.
The lights don't need to be on the car to complete all testing. Suppliers have lamp testing vehicles with structures on the front which can be modified to accept and test any headlamps.
The headlamps are probably done by now. However there's probably no reason to refit these mules with them.

they don't need chrome wheels either and paint who needs it maybe they should have just used a bare metal mustang body and gm mechanicals to make sure everything works.
It is like they want to hype the headlights!
Lutz wants the camo off so it is pretty much open to the public what the car will look like so why not throw on the actual headlights?
