Mine came factory with the HID's , but my husband got his aftermarket and has never had a problem with them. I like his better cause they are alot brighter than mine. I think his cost a lil over 200.

Then I guess I need to get used to the "killer" look of blue headlights and yellow fogs...NOT!! LOL uhm...I think that you need the 4 to complete the look...but dont get mad! Its only my humble opinion

Well if you go aftermarket I would say definitley go 4000K... The blue looks cool but isn't as bright, and looks terrible with the stock fogs. And you should not have 4 HIDs up front, so it should be out of the question. Listen, I have stangmods 6000K in my car right now, and I went through a crapload of trouble sending kits back and forth, getting new ballasts etc. and they were great about it... But now that it is all said and done, I don't want blue lights on my Mustang GT, its not right.

This is my opinion like I said, do what you want but I really regret the little phase I went through when I wanted these.
