Did a little cross referencing and it looks like any one of those should work. The chevys use 9006 lows and 9005 highs so I am probably gonna pick up one of those kits. Even with a retro I'll still need that harness so I can have all 4 lights on with high beams.

Dan, can you please keep me posted? The only way i'd want to do the projectors is if i can keep the HID low beams on with the high beams.

I'm running this setup, did this project last summer. I run the same setup as Riosnake, only difference is my projector setup is different. I pulled the clear lenses off used my smoked lenses from old headlights to not loose the look, but kept the functionality of the car.

do a search for mustang foglight mod and I am sure you can find the link that shows how to do it. All you do is pop the switch out and swap a wire in the hrns that connects to it and then they will turn on with the parking lights, or the ignition if you want but they will not turn off with the high beams.

Javi - you have to rewire it and possibly add a relay on the high beam circut. I did this on my truck so the lights in my grill come on with the high beams.


Rio - I just oredered those HL's and matching corners.
Would like to add HID's to the low beam. you have it on the low/projector slot?

Yes I have the HID's on the low beam, you'll need an HID kit for 9006's.

I haven't gotten around to doing anything to try and run hi/lo at the same time guys, I've been tackling some bigger problems like the car not firing...ugh.

What symptoms are you having? I just deal with this and it was the ground on my tfi module

Sent you a pm so I don't clutter up the thread.

one is a standard xenon bulb that is just a simple plug in, the other is an HID style which would need a ballast to power it.
