Ok I got my kit mocked up tonight and tested the lights and they look awesome, now for the bad. The bulb housing on the HID's were 9004 instead of 9007 but from the markings on it I assume they just have the 1 type for 9004 and 9007 owners, so I had to grind some notches in the housing, so ok no big deal but I broke 1 of the round push and twist type clamp that holds the bulb and socket into the headlight housing so now I have to dig around in my garage and see if I can find a spare but other than that its pretty straight forward, I'll have pics Monday because I left my camera at work. Thats about it now off to bed....... :thumb:

Guess I'm holding back from doin mine then

Don't be a wuss go for it :thumb: Real simple mod I just had a pretty bad a headache so my post showed that. I'm going to go finish up mounting everything right now.

So I guess I will run into the same problem?
I mean you went through that different company then originally listed... think that might be why you ran into problems?

It might be a combination of things, but the kit itself is really nice, you have a couple options if you run into the thing I did. Option 1 is cut the tabs out of the headlights themselves which takes about 1 minute or cut some notches into the plastic bulb housing which I opted for.

Just worried about it I guess...

So all I have to do is cut where?

this is why im not bothering with hids. too much nonsense. i see fine with my boi clears and fresh bulbs.

I wouldn't consider it to much nonsense at all. Its rare for anything to just bolt right up in the automobile industry but anyway here are a couple pics for you my96gtstang but these are not my pics so they are sorta general, this is just 1 option for making the housing fit

I have the hi/low 4300k kit from www.stangmods.com and love them! After searching around and listening to a lot of feedback i spent the extra cash for them and so far no issues at all.
