Hey guys, on my old mustang i purchased raxiom smoked projector headlights and the visiblity at night turned out to be pretty bad due to the smoked housing. My question is, if i purchase this setup: http://www.stangmods.com/Black-Proje...12-p/01614.htm

is this everything i need to run a smoked housing with HID's?
What kind of bulbs do i get?
Will this be brighter than even the stock headlights i have now?

I've never really messed with the headlights so i dont know too much on this topic. Any help and pics would really be appreciated! Id love the smoked look but i dont want to lose visibilty at night.

thanks ahead of time!

My thought on smoked aftermarket projectors and HIDs is that they suck. I had smoked Raxioms and 4300k bulbs (highest lumens) and they were probably a tad worse than standard halogen & reflector housings.

For $450 (or less) you can have your stockers retrofitted and customized pretty much however you want. I forget who, but a guy on here had his Raxioms retrofitted with good projectors and it was night/day (no pun intended).

If you do decide on those, you'll definitely need 4300k bulbs. You can't really go smoked without losing some (or most) of the output.
Your $ though...

More info in my sig.

i read about that guy doing it. Anyways, if i ship him the lights (or take it to anyone for that matter) what else do i need?

You can work out with him which projectors you want (varying efficiency and cost), shrouds, custom painting, HID bulb temp and he'll assemble them and get em workin.

He has a FB page now (I'll PM you). He's done quite a few owner's lights on here. Does great work.
