Smile HID Upgrade.

Hey guys. Thought id post my HID Install last weekend. http://s644.photobucket.com/albums/uu164/chrisverneuil/. At night these things are AWSOME. With the integrated hi beams they light up the road. Even in low there bright. Ive gotten flashed a couple of times already because of these. And they thought they were high beams, Till i flashed them back I didnt think of doing a right up when doing this. If i had there be more detail.

i think people were flashing you because you have no bulb coating on your bulbs

I agree on the bulb coating. If you continue to get flashed you should probably lower your lights. IMO it's nice to see the road but not at the expense of other drivers vision. Just not a safe practice. I installed HID in mine had people flash the first could of days. I gradually kept lowering mine until people stopped flashing. Even after all the lowering it still lights up the night.

Try the aiming procedure and get the bulb coating if you dont already have it.

The 06 Mustang headlamps started to phase out the bulb shields, and all 07+ Mustangs do not have them. Regardless of what a company may sell for your vehicle it does not mean it is the correct or best thing for it. To be perfectly honest, even the Mustang oriented vendor you purchased from probably has no clue, mostly because they are not lighting specialists.
We are the ONLY manufacturer/vendor that offers the bulb coating that for all purposes is a requirement for most 06 models and ALL 07+ model Mustangs.
No matter how much you aim the lamps, with what you have in there now they will always blind oncoming traffic.
