This is what I've got.
Ok... and so the highs are H3, and the lows are H1... now If I buy HIDs will I have to get two kits??, If I want both lights light at once, and do you know of anywhere where I can find a workaround? Also... I'm looking for LED bulbs for the stock fog lights... do you know of anywhere where I can find them... I've looked on www.autolumination.com, and they have just about every possible LED lights for cars except headlights (of course) and fog lamp replacements. Thanks

welll.......... thats gunna be a tough one...
I dont think you can buy another kit and plug it in with your current setup since they all work off the same wires but you MIGHT be able to get it to work with some ingenuity.... you would have to find out what wires run the high beams and make up some harness and get that to work but it seems liek it can be done but costly....
what you can do is buy a HID high/low kit for the H1 and then buy 2 H3 bulbs and put those in for the high beams(should be the same connectors to the balasts)......this is exactly what i was gunna do when i put my HIDS in with stock housings and was gunna go projector

second HID drop in kits are gay you will end up screwing up more things...
thrid all you have to do is retrofit real HID's into your headlight...
This is a BMW bi-xenon HID lens retrofitted in a headlight... and this is the way to go!!
this is the same headlight in the stock version...

RE: HID Headlights. Any difference?
I don't actually think that my headlight look all that rice. Honestly I think the lights you posted look more rice what with all the chrome, but whatever. The thing I like about my projectors is how damn bright they are when I'm driving. What is this retrofit that you are talking about, and where can I get more information. Also do you have any pictures of those lights when they are lite? Thanks

Not sure on this but I heard that hid work better as they warm up........so if you have projectors get the HID for the low beam and use a high quality standard for the highs because usually you only have your highs on for a small amount of time. Right when you click em on they won't be the brightest until they warm up..........and then you have to click em off for a car...........by the way I see that you can get dual Halo angel eye headlights for the 99-04 stangs. I like em but I don't think they are for stangs......Maybe for a BMW
