quick HID question

06stangGT · 11-17-2008, 12:37 PM

looking to upgrade the factory head lights this winter, first off i want to make sure that i have the right bulb type for these cars are H13/9008.. correct?
secondly, i would like to go HID, but i want to also change out the light fixture itself,
is it possible... to get an 8000k HID kit dual beam
found here:

and at the same time get this type of headlamp installed
found here

either way, if i can or can not, im going to do the HID kit. someone told me though in these cars that the stock light fixture is very big and will spread light all over the road..

thanks!

do NOT put HID's in projector lamps... you'll blind oncoming drivers. you're not really supposed to put them in regular fixtures either, but it won't be as bad.

i have the dual beam hids from stangmods.com H13. they are a HUGE improvement over stock and i'm still running the stock headlight buckets. never been flashed, the light is still a concentrated beam. i have had them for almost a year and love them

i have the 8000k temp but am about to switch to 6000k. the lower the kelvin the more useable light and less of a bluish tint. i dont have any night time pics but here are some day pics

I got the 6000k and love it

isnt the ford factory hid's 6000k? i have then and still dont know? i know they are not as blue and have a lot of usable light.

i am not sure what the factory ones are but if i had to guess i'd say 5000k

the 8k looks nice, i know right around 5/6k is the most usable light, but if i went with the 8k would there be a significant difference from stock?
