Headlights
Hi,
I have a 2006 Mustang and my headlamps are very weak. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if there are stronger headlights out there that will work with a 2006 Mustang. I appreciate any help.
Thanks

By weak, I assume you mean dim. I'd check the voltage at the connectors before doing anything else. Some lamps may dim a bit a with age but not a lot. If the voltage is fine, then you can expect to get about 47,391 different suggestions on replacement lamps. Personally, stay away from anything over the "bust my headlights with a baseball bat" value of 5000K. There are some very good, non-obnoxious lamps out there in the 4000K to 5000K range. I have a personal favorite in the Sylvania Silverstars.
i noticed the same thing as soon as i bough mine. i bought hids and bam, problem solved. stangmods.com 6000k dual beams. i've never had oncoming traffic flash me and i've even tested them by driving towards my car. great kit
Thanks and I have a couple questions for you. Did you install the package yourself? Was it simple? Also, I do not want to be getting constantly pulled over and cited for having headlights that are too strong. So you think going with the 6k is OK? I am wondering if I should go with the 8k but I do not really know what the difference would be. Like I said, I do not want to constantly be getting pulled over. Anything else you can provide me with I appreciate.
Thanks

I agree with Nuke. I like Silverstar bulbs. I had them for for maybe a year and a half - very good product.
I decided I wanted to step up to HIDs, so I went with a Retro-Solutions 35W, 6000K Bi-Xenon kit. Best money I ever spent.
Silverstars are better, HID the best.

I gotta agree w/nuke. I have oem HID's on my mustang and Silver Star Ultra's on my '02 SVT focus. I can see better with the silver stars than the HID's.Go figure. And they're a heck of a lot less than HID's.
I looked up the Silverstar lights. I found this link: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ghPerformance/ . Please correct me if this is the incorrect website to purchase these lights. I just have a couple of questions.
So these work well with the '06 Mustang? Like I said, I am not doing this for style it is more for safety.
It looks like they have a variety of different lights. Which is best? The Silverstar, Silverstar Signal, Cool Blue, ExtraVision or Xenarc? I am interested in what will provide me with the most light for my '06 Mustang.
Thanks again
