Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste like that lol. And I just realized it's Kelvin, not Kelvar. Was thinking of bullet proof vests for some reason.

 

does any one have pictures of fords hid lamps ?
and since the fogs arent hid what aftermarket set will work for them (color)

 

FYI, both the Ford OEM HID's and the Saleen HID's are made by the same company: Valeo Sylvania

 

post #5 has a picture of the Ford OEM headlights. I'd jsut get the Saleens for around $600-$800.
The Fog Light should be left halogen.

 

It's official. The world has gone mad. All this over frickin headlights...lol. Did any of us old guys ever invision a day when headlights would be something to mod out? LOL Rock on gents, and live life to the fullest!

 

No i was wondering does anyone have a picture of them on at night or
what color they produce?

 

Kelvin is the rating, but yes the Ford ones are a greenish color and the saleen ones are blue-purple white

 

Not saying that your not right but how do you know that the GT500 lights are the same as the GT's? where are you getting your resources?

 

didn't you old guys used to swap the highs and lows so that the lows were closer to the mid andsome how made the car look narrower? (back when High and lowe beam lights were separate lights)

 

What some of us old guys used to do was swap out the sealed-BEAM headlights for replaceable-bulb halogen conversions, in either the 2-lamp or 4-lamp configurations. A few folks even plugged light aircraft landing lights in the high beam sockets(I think it was some GE number that would fit).

Halogens were a bigger improvement over the old2800°K cheap-glass sealed beams (link,but from a high performance use standpoint think in terms of candles in Coke bottles) than HIDs are over halogens - I have the HIDs in my '08. It wasn't a legal mod in most places back then, and probably still isn't if anybody was to get picky about it. But as long as you had them properly aimed and didn't jacklight an oncoming patrol car with your high beams, nobody ever cared. You just had to swap the legal bulbs back in come inspection time. I've still got the original sealed beams for the thumbnail car that I bought new - there's probably fewer than 50 hours total use between the two of them spread out over maybe 25 years of that car being in active use.
