HIDs?
I hate driving at night because the stock lights are pretty bad. I drive a lot in wooded areas, and I'm ALWAYS afraid of deer. I want to upgrade the headlights, but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions? HIDs worth it? How much should I pay?

There are a lot of other threads about this. You should try to search around the forum a little and see what you come up with. I'd recommend if you do get HIDs, to get projector headlights as well.

I HATE Projectors. Should I go HIDs or just get brighter bulbs for $30-$40...

HIDs are well worth the money man. You dont really notice how bright they are until you're behind the wheel of a HID car. They shine for a long ways, I drove home from nashville two nights ago and Highway signs were lighting up in front of me 250 feet off. They're great. There is a shop around me that has conversion kits for like 50 a light......just shop around and you can find a deal.

Go on ebay, find a pair on there, and call it a day. That's what I did 2 years ago and have never had a problem. The difference is night and day (literally) from the stockers to HID's.
our Mustangs are SIMPLE to do a HID kit in our cars.

Can you look in your feedback and tell me who you bought yours from? If you could possibly find it. Or what brand it was or anything. And how much did you pay? Thanks for the tip

DDM Tuning....6000k 55w 9007 (bulb) Hids on mine in stock housings. Alot of people get their panties in a bunch about HIDs in stock housings but they can either A.) suck it or B.) buy me projector housings.
Have had zero problems, and I am very pleased with the kit. Install would take a one eyed monkey 3 1/2 minutes.
