I started with those cheap ebay knock offs that say 90 watt output from a 55w bulb.... I now have the silverstars and am happy...if I go HID it would be Retro for sure!!!!! DO NOT get the Luminics as they do get hot and you can melt the housing or cause a fire....buyer beware!

If its on flea bay and they claim double output from the same wattage as a 55w halogen bulb....they are crap....I know you know this and it might be "OK" for the ricer crowd with the overly blue lights that output nothing but I need quality for the stang and it will be with your kit! The stock headlights suck and I need to adj the housing on mine as it is not right. JMO

After a lengthy back and forth with the owning company of MF, they finally decided that legally speaking we were right! So, with all that hopefully in the past we are back and more than ready to once again support the MustangForum members with discounts on our quality products and general automotive lighting help!

Glad to be back with you all!

Man I got some H10 8K 12V 55W bulbs from Blue Oval for the fogs on my 08 GT CS. Melted the diffusers in the fogs and made my car look like it had freakin googly eyes! Luckily I got it fixed. I loved the look but am very nervous about putting the different bulbs in the fogs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't need the HIDs in the fogs just the color. Right now it doesnt look right with the HID on the headlight and standard fogs in the middle.

Any tips on the type and model I should request? Basicaly I just want a plug and play blue tinted light for the fog lights. It doesn't have to be HID.

For the 08- you would want to look into these....6000k H10 55W Digital xenons for the fogs and ask them if they make a 35W version for the fogs....send them a PM with make and model of car and use "mustang" as the discount code at checkout.....
