hey guys i just got my hid kit in and its 10000 k and i thought it would be a real blue but all it is is like a white purple i mean they are bright but i was either wanting a true blue or true purple..but anyways do you know if they make projector lights that can have hids in it??for the 96-98 mustangs

I would like to know that myself since all the projector type aftermarket headlamps ive seen say not for HIDs but dont say why. Ive yet to see one person with projector headlights and HIDs so till i do i dunno and im not going to buy them to find out it wont work. If i had to guess i would think as long as you got the right bulb it would but i dunno.

As far as the color you were mentioning both me and my friend bought 10k lights. mine look blue and his definately look a purplish white. They are bright no doubt just not blue as you would of expected. i payed 250 for mine and his were $200 so i guess you get what ya pay for. heres what mine look like anyway...



and heres one of use side by side in the rain. its all i got for comparison plus its from my phone, and it is a more noticeable difference in person. the camera didnt pick it up real well but if you look at the reflection off the asphalt in front of our cars its more noticeable. oh i'm on the left too

yeah man i think im ordering a set of replacement bulbs the 12000 k he said they are blue and purple just so i can put those in and have these as a spare..and my sis is ordering me the jdm black crhome headlights i cant wait to get those my headlights are smokey yellow...i hope those headlights will make it work and get brighter

i believe the only reason the HID wouldnt work w/ the projector headlights would be that it has the wrong size bulb. i have projectors and it requires an H3 bulb so if they sell it in that same style and size then it should fit. if its the same style and not the same length, then the focal point wont be correct for the lense in the projector and it will look like crap.

[droppedbass87]

i thought its because it will make it to bright or something or melt the lense..

[97TunedMustang]

As long as you get the H3 bulb which they sell it should work. they dont get hotter then standard halogens, and they also consume almost half as much power 35w compared to 55-65watt standard halogens.

I actually saw on Tricked Out on the Diy channel, the guy installed a hid kit on on a accord i think it was that had projectors and when it was done and you saw the beam on the road, it looked like ass. Boo. but it probably looked bad before since aftermarket low beam projectors generally suck anyway to start.

yea they do look like ass, i just run my 4'' fog lights and they put out 2x the light

heh nice. i think im gonna get the gt clear fogs with brackets and then get Hid's for the fogs, that'll really piss people off at night

can you buy replacement bulbs from anywhere to go with your kit and not the person you got them from??i mean with the same wiring and everything??cuz i want to get a set of 12000 k bulbs these 10000 just aint what i was expecting

where did you get the kit from in the first place. see if you can get just the bulbs through them. you dont want to be mixing bulbs from different companies with your currant hid ballast/ignitors.

As far as 12000k if your trying to find the brightest thats not it. 8000k is the brightest color temperature. 12000k is also a violet color... so i dunno if thats what your after but this is what it looks like...
