Default Lights

HI guys I have this question in my head, which lights bulbs to get.
I want 100/80 watts and a high wattedge for the fog-lights.
I was looking at the brands Matrix and Street Glow, but I dont know which one to get.
Could you help me out, also which types of bulbs do the driving and fog lights use?

Go with the Silverstars or a set of HIDs. I'm running a set of single Xenon bulbs from Ebay seller "hid4u" in my F150 with no problems.

Dont change the wattage of the fogs or the headlights, you will have some serious problems. You will melt the reflector and the metal reflector shroud will come loose and rattle around in the headlight bucket, trust me it has already happened to me! HID would be a good alternative as the bulbs don't burn as hot as the stock bulbs. One last thing. The design of the fog bulb is unique to the mustang and only silverstar and the OEM bulb will work. Any other bulb regardless of wattage has the potential of damaging the fog light assembly. The bulb is desighned to be further away from the reflector thus keeping the heat away from melting the reflector and the base of the metal shroud.

I would go with HID's

I bought aftermarket lights...the ones in my sig picture and I HATE THEM.... the driver side seal is broken so there is moisture in there and they dont produce light what so ever.

thats why my HID kit is in the mail and getting installed this weekend.
