HID's and nothing else... I had silverstars and they weren't all that bright... And for the cost of what a single low kit costs, there is no point in spending it on expensive bulbs.

yea? i was jsut getting $20.00 bulbs. nothing fancy.... how much are HIDs? are they hard to put in?

ive had vvme kits on cars before and they were real nice, i found them annoying to install but they look so cool...
ive never put them in a stang but id imagine it could be annoying as well.
but right now my stang has one hyperwhite bulb and a blue one from getting my bulbs mixed up when putting my lights back in and i just leave it cause it looks funny, u should try that

^lol. oh okay.


so whats installing HIDs like?

 

[bryand]

just alot of wires for the ballasts and bulbs. it was alot of zip ties, and u have to make sure its set up right before it goes on the car cause i had a kit where it wasnt set up right in the box, just put the leads to pos and neg, i think i can email u a pic of a kit i have mounted in my other car, i have the headlights out right now. ill have to see how much is visible without ripping off the lawnmower plastics.

 

[MustangChris]

sounds good. thanks all for your suggestions!

I'm using the SilverStars. They are quite bright enough. Have you ever approached an oncoming car with HID's, in the rain? The lights are blinding enough but with the added reflection off the pavement. It's like there are 4 headlights. Too much!

Anyone have a problem with the ABS Light coming on when turning on the HID's sometimes? I'm thinking i'll have to get the battery relay harness for my car to cure that problem. Only happens sometimes. I upped the fuses for my headlights and low beams to no avail.

I've ordered plug and play HID kits for the headlghts and fogs. 100$ each.

Like Javi said I have the bi-xenon DDM kit...

yes a couple people including myself have this problem, apparently part of the HID kit is too close to the ABS module.
