Default HID Question

My headlights are really faded and dim and its time for new ones. I am going to probably get the smoked headlights from AM. But I wanna get HID's too. Anyone know where i can get a kit for cheap. Americanmuscle and stangmods are 200-250 or something around there.

The VVME kit is one of the cheapest around, with that said, quality is a hit or miss with their kits, some have no issues with installs others have to swap some wires around.

I'd recommend doing HID's right, projector retrofit FTMFW!

if you want HID's, get projectors. the light output SUCKS when using HID's in headlights made for halogen bulbs. dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

i got mine from stang mods its the dual high low. its i never actually needed my highs though its already insane bright. i should probably get projectors though before i get pulled over. but on the black new edge all the lights are ugly. 6000k is the way to go w/o projectors. anything higher is just asking for trouble.
