Talking All HID lights done.

Ok, picture this, you live in a third world country where one out of every 100 streets actually has streetlights. You buy a brand new 2007 Mustang GT only to find out that like most american cars the headlights suck. What do you do, other than move to a more civilized place?

This is the route I took to fix that severe lumen anemia.

1.- Get an Ebay kit to keep the fog lights on when using high beams.

Realize it's not enough as I rarely use the high beams.

2.- Buy a set of PIAA fogs that are actually useful unlike the stock ones.

Much better, most people wold be satisfied with this, except for the fact that the PIAA beams are pencil beams, so some poor shmuck in front of you is going to be blinded.

3.- Buy a set of HID lights for the headlights. 4300k for maximum light output.

Excellent! Of course now the PIAA's are so yellow they look like they have jaundice.

4.- Somehow manage to insert a set of H3 HID bulbs into stock PIAA housings without destroying either the bulbs or the housings (TIP: Disassemble the HID plugs to feed through PIAA housing) 4300k to match headlights.

MWAHAHA! Evil incarnate. They can light up the road farther than I can see.

5.- Stare in awe as your car lights up the night like a Baseball stadium.

Oh, and the poor shmucks in front of you? Well, just remeber to only use the fogs when no one's coming. Either that or melt their eyeballs.
