What do you guys think about this 2012 Mustang?

I hate HIDs, i think they suck, I'll never own a car with them. It's an intense beam where it lands, and no intensity outward. I see more at night with regular headlights because of the way it diffuses outward, and that is very important around here because of deer and elk on the sides of the road. HIDs aren't really popular around here primarily for that reason.
grabber blue looks awesome with black stripes and accents.

I've driven cars with HIDs son. Like I said, it's a more intense beam with a narrower field of vision. I like a broader field of vision. And when you drive the highways that I do with wild life you have to spot off the road you need that broader field. If i lived in some city where animals didn't regularly jump into the road then i might consider it. But i'll never live in a city again and I'll never want HIDs.

Wow that stealership is very proud of this used Mustang, asking $95 below what it stickered for new!

If this was a new car you could expect about $6000 off sticker with factory rebates and dealer discounts.

Friend (or dad), you are entitled to your own opinion. Even though I live about 20 miles from Tampa in a semi rural area, we have plenty of wildlife in this area including deer by the bunch. I stopped buying cars with halogens back in 1998 and never looked at 'em anymore. I like xenons very much. As years go by, more and more cars will come with xenons as standard equipment specially since the national highway traffic safety administration knows that they are better and safer for driving than halogens. And btw, I couldn't possibly be your son unless you are older than maybe 66yrs old.
here is a more recent review of HIDS http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/NRD/M...008/811006.pdf It doesn't say in there that they think it's safer.
You could yet see a ban on them in the future as they gain in popularity and they receive more complaints.

the the highway traffice safety administration looked into them as a danger http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/rulings/glare.html from glare. I don't see anywhere where they recommend them. they have banned some versions of HIDs and certain manufacturers from importing or selling them in the US.
