I don't see plug and play - is that why it didn't work, or what do you think what the problem is?

Um, wire them properly and they work properly?
The computer as you call it is a SmartJunctionBox
and it can be fooled into proper operation with
aftermarket HIDs...
U usin a relays for them there HIDs or just plug
n play en em into the OEM headlight bulb connectors?
HIDs in OEM housings is not the way to go.
You gotta pay to play.
And you get what you pay for with HIDs....

On all 2007+Mustangs, and some 2006 models, the headlamps lack any bulb shields. This means the bulbs really need to be coated with an opaque binding material to block the light through the top of the bulbs (just like the stock bulbs are coated). We are currently the only manufacturer offering such coatings... with out the coating HID bulbs should not be installed in those model years.

Not sure why they are notworking for you, it indicates a wring harness is included. Perhaps it is a problem with the ground connections, or possibly the relay unit(s) require too high voltage to work. I'd personally be skeptical of any HID kit advertisement that did not even show the kit, kit parts, bulbs colors..... etc. They make a lot of claims but show no product???

Hm... my mechanic told me it was the car's computer that does not know how to work with these lights or that doesn't pick up these lights at all. what exactly does plug and play do?

A load resistor and a relay should fool the SJB into thinking the OEM
bulbs are still hooked up with the HIDs and ballasts installed....
The fog lights dont draw power thru the SJB but a relay in the BEC
under the hood so you should be good to go with the HID fogs....

The SJB wants to see a bulb filiment resistence or the bulb burned out feature will kick in...

what hid brand do you highly recommend? Im looking for high/low beam kit and a foglight kit that actually works great. I've been hearing retrosolution is the way to go, do you agree?

I have the relay, but i don't think i have the resistor. Also, I heard capacitor also fix the computer problems as well. true?

Seems like RetroSolutions is the way to go.

Maybe a forum member discount....
