If you are aiming this questions towards me, the answer is not at all. To be honest I have not driven the Mustang in the rain, but I have two of the exact same HID kits, one in my motorcycle and one in my other car. Believe you me, if there was a visibility problem I would NEVER run them on my motorcycle and I ride my bike everyday rain or shine so visibility is KEY. That is why I like these 5000K kits so much, they are awesome, provide closest to pure white and also close to OEM temperature. We know there is a reason OEM applications don't use high kelvin ratings in cars stock! I would say that these kits are very close to the performance of my old 2004 M3 stock HID's. The only thing that my M3 had over my other applications is that they were projector headlights and projectors are awesome at sending light unobstructed and with an incredibly wide and clear beam. Reflector beam headlights like the ones in my applications, dont do quite as good a job but these beat out the stock halogen headlights 10 fold!

Choose which one? There are two choices.
Apexcone Ultra Slim 35w H4/H13/9004/9007 - $175
Apexcone Ultra Slim 55w H4/H13/9004/9007 - $200
Am I missing something here?
Which kit did you get?
35W or the 55W.
The only clue would be that you
used the battery harness required
for the 55W kit??

I got the 35w kit for $175. I am not into the high wattage stuff and I am not sure why you would need the 55w kit, but to each his own. All of my kits are the 35w kits.

H13 is the bulb by the way. You will have a harness whether you have the 35w or 55w. This kit comes with the relay also for the low to hi beam actuation and everything else you need.
