over priced, go to Ebay.

I got HID off Ebay for $80 for another car, and they have never had a prob. Items from actual sites sure are over priced...

Yeah I know, I was just using that as an example, but they actually have the same thing on ebay for like 180 or something. How do they look thought and what color temp. did you get?

Try Ebay. I have a buddy that bought them off stangmods.com and he said he loves them. He said it was fast shipping and good customer service. He got 6,000K cuz there like bright white. The 8,000K are blue kinda what the civics and all the ricers get, but I like both.

if you go ebay make sure its one that lets you keep your high-beams.

also, are you getting them for looks or for light output? 4300K is the most output, the further up the number goes, you get less output and more color. 4300k is less yellow than regular bulbs, but still not pure white. 5000k looks most like pure white to me, but its not commonly offered. 6k is a good option, goot output, white with a bit of blue color, and usually readily available as a color option.

I'd suggest a 6k then. definitely no pressence of yellow. nice white output with a slight hint of blue while not giving up too many lumens.

this is a pretty good representation:

got this off stangmods webpage

Please note, 2005-2008 Mustangs require an upgraded relay and some light wiring for a complete installation. StangMods provides the upgraded relay at no extra charge. In addition, each kit comes with complete step-by-step installation instructions to ensure the proper functioning of your new HIDs. The 05+ Mustangs are very sensitive to modifications and with the HIDs, its no different. We ensure that your lights will work properly the first time!

what relay are they talking about here?
im only asking because i assume the ebay ones wont have this "relay" that they are talkin about
