Default Factory HID's?

I've been wondering if it's possible for us older stangs that didn't have the HID option to get the factory HID headlamps and ballasts and everything to install on our cars? Will everything work correctly? Does anyone know the part #'s for these or if the dealers will eve sell them to you?

I would recommend www.xenonexperts.com check out the DDM series. That is what Im running. Bixenon in the headlights and regular in the foglights all 6000k. Hell of alot cheaper than the OEM package.

I don't want a conversion. I want HID headlights. Like the ones that actually come with a housing to run HID bulbs on. I don't want to blind drivers by using HID bulbs in the stock housing.

There is nothing special in the OEM. The aftermarket work perfectly and are as good as my wife's OEM lights. Cutoff is perfectly horizontal.

I have not been flashed once..and did a few "drive bys" at the lights to test them out. They are factory as far as I am concerned.
