actually Zat, projectors are the preferred output for HID. much more conrtol over the beam than our stock reflectors. when HID was first offered it was in highend cars, and they all had projector style lights. in fact it was a early misconception that HID referred to projector headlights.

I have been looking at putting E55's in my headlights but the bugeyed look just does nothing for me so I think I will be getting 9007 bi Xenon soon for my stock lights. I just wish there was a decent way to get Projectors in them with out it looking like poo poo.

Sonnic... a couple months ago I found out you had projectors mounted up in your headlights, and am still hoping for head on day time pics...

It's illegal in some area's to have HID's if they aren't housed in a projector, b/c the glare they cause when housed in a reflecter can temporarily blind other drivers.

tint them to the point where the projectors are not visible anymore

and im always down for looking at some pics as well

R3dFyre02 · October 8th, 2009, 04:06 PM

I do a lot of night driving... I like as much output as I can get so Im eally not feeling tinting my headlights... did it before with VHT, drove fora week and sanded it back off. I know HID is brighter, but... Ill play with it once I et the cash to get them.

white03v6 · October 8th, 2009, 04:11 PM

ya i hear you...i bought ebay dark smoked headlights and am still using halogens...very little light output. good thing is i really drive a lot more during the day than at night, and most of the night driving is assisted by streetlights. definitely would like more light though. hids are coming for the headlights for me too. just have to wait and see if my friend will get new headlights. if not ill have to buy some projectors down the road.

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 8th, 2009, 04:43 PM

I just put some tinted headlights from MU in my car. I have the HID's as well. Output is about stock now. FYI.

white03v6 · October 8th, 2009, 04:47 PM

good to know MP. is it significantly brighter than stock? or just a little bit but still noticeable?

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 8th, 2009, 05:06 PM

It's right at about stock. I will get some pics tonight if I remember,.

R3dFyre02 · October 8th, 2009, 07:45 PM

so your saying that the tinted HID is equal to clear stock halogen. well I might be able to live with that. could you post output pics of them as well as daytime pics of the lenses so I can see how darkly tinted they are? if I tint mine again I wont go real dark, just shaded... not black looking...

sonicstang03 · October 8th, 2009, 08:08 PM

is it a hard install to wire up an HID kit?

white03v6 · October 8th, 2009, 08:24 PM

oh, sorry to make you repeat yourself MP, i was reading fast earlier and thought you said it was better than stock in post #31.

The plug and play are very simple. You can install them in under 15 minutes. You simply find a place to mount the ballast, plug the ballast in to the stock headlight harness, then plug the other end in to the HID bulb.

LOL. Not a problem man. Here is the best I could do at the moment. The driver side is the tinted lense, the passenger is the stock. The car was on jackstands so I could not get good output pics down the road.

I can't get any day time at the moment, but i hope those help

white03v6 · October 8th, 2009, 08:58 PM

which smoked headlights did you get? up above you said you got them from MU, but im not sure what that is?

and r3dfyre, you could always get 4300K and they will more than likely be brighter than stock. you just wont have the cool blueish tint.

edit-forgot to add that the lights (and your car as a whole) look amazing MP!

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 8th, 2009, 09:21 PM

MU = Mustangs Unlimited. They are part number 9904US

R3dfyre02 - Mine are 5K. They are the brightest next to the 4300. They have a blue tint only at certain agnles, but are mainly just white.

Oh and thanks alot white03v6, I appreciate the compliments.

white03v6 · October 8th, 2009, 10:02 PM

mine look a little darker than those. but ill be getting the fogs so ill be getting more light than im used to anyway.
and your welcome.
thanks again, youve been extremely helpful
