Default HIDs

Hey guys! Looking to get HIDs for my 92 fox. Just wondering if anyone else with a fox has HIDs. Im looking at the DDM tuning kits. Any suggestions?

Don't do HIDs without projectors, but I think foxs with projectors look terrible.

I have DDM Tunning HID 5k kit on my 87 mustang 1PC Head lights and they look verry good!!! HID'S are made for projector lights but the ones they make for mustangs are not so good looking . i dont recomend you to get the HI/LOW kit's they tend to have sum problem when u flash up hi beams and only one turns on. you dont realy need hi beams the low beams are bright as it is. i think its just a waist of money i also put Hids on my fog light had to custom fit them but looks very nice!!! In my case DDM HID'S worked out to be good!!!

agreed with crazy87GT. I used DDM tuning and had good results in my 98 GT. Pic below. you might also look into custom fitting a project lens in the factory halogen housing. it will put the light down better but will be more expensive and time consuming. if it were me i would just slap a ddm kit in there and call it a day. it will be brighter than stock, just try to adjust them down so they dont glare in oncoming traffic. again, just a suggestion. also attached is a picture from some mustang forum of a foxbody with custom projectors fitted.
