Default Just bought HID's from Retro-Solutions

Well as the title says i bought some HID's. I bought the 55w 8000k HID's for my head lights and fog lights. Does anyone have some input on these and how they are to install. I missed the group buy they had a couple months ago but still got a good deal. Any help would be great and ill post some before and after pics of the light.

Its all pretty straight forward, its all just a matter of connecting a few plugs together as Allstar said. One of the best mods I've done so far we're here to help if you need any!

Yeah, it's a great mod and can be done quickly. My only recommendation is that you don't forget to take off the red rubber gasket from the original bulb and put it on the new HID bulb. For some reason the HIDs don't tighten up without the additional gasket. I installed the Retro-Solutions 4300 HID kit to match the color temperature on my fogs. Great kit from a reliable company. The lights lined up right out of the box with no scatter.

I was curious about which brand to go. $280 was a little steep in my opinion and these are priced just right. Good to know people have had success with them.

Which kit is for the Dual Beam Headlights? And which is for the foglights? I'm not familiar with which HID kit is proper for Mustangs.
