^lol ya....i would go with the 8k.

damn that is a cheap kit. $86 for a complete kit! i know where i am buying mine. With that kit though that is including the bulbs right? and do you get to pick which ones and does it cost more for a higher output?

It comes with everything, and you get to choose the color temperature you want. Make sure you use the right bulb type when ordering.

94gt · April 4th, 2008, 07:47 AM

Anyone that needs to figure out any kind of bulb type for the car go to sylvania.com!!

94gt · April 5th, 2008, 03:31 AM

That is quite a savings. I was looking at getting them at some point in time but didnt want to shell out that much. Now, I just have to convince my wife I NEED them. lol

Haha im with you on that one... i just purchased them on Friday... I assume it doesn't take too long to install... would like to have them in for the work week

Zatrekaz · April 5th, 2008, 11:13 PM

Not to hard, just have to make 2 grounds... connect the provided connections and such...

If taking your time (which you should) roughly 1-2hrs

gills99stang · April 6th, 2008, 12:05 AM

I'm having a problem now after the install of my battery is draining... I think its because of the new HIDs. I wired them directly off the battery, and am wondering if the ballasts are draining it... where did you guys wire them for power?

mannymustang · April 29th, 2008, 02:49 AM

are those high beams also?

The kit I bought are the bi-xenon type, which has both high and low beam.

I figured out the battery issue.. I don't think it was the HIDs that were causing it. Now I want to figure out how to wire in the single beam kit into my foglights as vvme.com doesn't offer a kit for the bulb type for our Mustangs.

Eh, they're fog lights so they point towards the ground so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

nba1341 · April 29th, 2008, 04:32 AM

hey thats bad ass you think i could use it on a 65 mustang?

the light sockets are those 3 prong ones the same you find in jeeps and what not the regular old round circle headlamps....

Don't the older circle type headlamps come as a complete unit? You might have to cut out the inner bulb part and then widen the circle so that you could insert an HID bulb... got a picture?

no my circle lamps have replaceable bulbs (they are xenon) from some company called delta...

they are a lot better than the old halogen sylvania silverstars or whatever they called

but i want brighter could i just get a higher wattage xenon bulb???

If you're talking about 6000K vs. 10000K then no... the higher the number the less the light output. I would get an HID kit from vvme... they're really cheap. Not sure which bulb size you would get for yours though, whatever you could get to fit in there.
