they dont make an ultra for the stangs.. only the regular silverstars.. and honeslty.. i tried them the other day, one side stock one side silverstar.. NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL..

but whats this about $75 HID's on ebay??

the cheapest ive heard was 200
the fog ones i found for $75 on ebay but for the hi's and low's since there the same bulb you have to get bixenon hids when are about $120 for everything hi's and low's soo thats not a bad deal really...just go to ebay and type in hids or hid kit or something they wont say for mustang you have to tell the seller the bulb type and color you want. Most colors ar from like 5000k to 10000k when is yellow to blue pretty much

doing 80w/100w will also risk melting the harness. I did that on my last car and had to replace both headlight harnesses, headlight switch, and do minor surgery on the switch harness as it was melted too. Definately not worth the price to save a few bucks on the cheaper lights. If you want the blue xenon look, make sure they are 55/65w

Much higher than stock wattage may damage your housings. I really like the Silverstars for headlamp replacements.

Silverstars in the fog lamp housings will reduce the effectiveness of the fogs. Plus, fog lights are NOT better brighter. IF you really intend to use fog lights as fog lights, replace the stock bulbs with 55W Hella Yellowstars. Warmer (more yellow) light is more effective in the fog. Otherwise, if you're looking for that "jet plane landing light" look, replace the fog lamp housings with driving lamps for a longer, more narrow throw. The stock fog lamps provide a short, wide throw no matter WHAT bulb you put in there.

Go to Resto-Solutions.com - all will be made clear. If you REALLY want bright, look at their 55 watt kit. Woof!
