I didn't want to start derailing other threads so here it is.

Products:
Smoked Headlights
6000K Bi-xenon HID kit

Finally had the car out all last night with just the headlights on and the visibility was amazing. No **** probably at least 5x the visibility than the halogen bulbs provided. This was all with OUT the fog lights on also, and when the fogs are on it adds another probably 5x more light to the road in front of the car and much more to the sides of the road also. I did not adjust the aim on the headlights either.

I'd also like to note i was not flashed at by another driver a single time while i was out and when I pull up to a car in front of me the beams are tightly focused like the halogen bulbs and also light does not shine higher than about the middle of the car.

So in closing I'll say this: HIDs in a Mustang with halogen housings (with a clear lens) are crappy at night and a waste of time/money? Myth busted.

I LOVEEEE my LED guages...they are honestly one of the sweetest mods I have done yet. They totally change the vibe of ur interior.

The only other LEDs I have are my corner bulbs...

I want to get LED interior bulbs for my overhead lights, LED license plate bulbs (might be too bright, but I want to try them out), and I also want to try out some LED brakelights, 3rd brake, and LED reverse lights. LED everything! haha

That looks really nice man. Both the LEDs and the HIDs are a nice touch and add to the overall feel of the car.
