This pic was taken at a slight angle to the wall.

I have looked at both OEM HIDs for the Ford mustang and retrofits, and retrofits are the way to go. Since 2011, the adhesive used to seal the front cover to the headlight was changed to a high temp adhesive, so it is way harder than it used to be (so my retrofitter told me). You can spend way less than I did if all you want is projectors. I added switchbacks, painting $ CCFLs.
can your retrofitter take my oem hid's and make them work? you know, change the guts in them or something but keep the outside looking stock? that would be cool

The hot coming from the fuse box has to be cut and the relay wired in to make the circuit complete. The wire coming from the relay to the low beam wire is the hot wire to energize the relay. It makes the switch work. I just want to help.

Yes this works on my car! No hum, flicker or any other problems. I did use a 16 awg wire for the ground instead of the 20 awg of the original.

I have these with a HID bulb for the low beam, to get the most out of an HID buld it needs to be behind a projector style of lens
