RE: HID lights
if that is the look you want 8000k will be fine. i tried putting the LED bulbs in my turn signals, but they need the resistors to function properly. i didn't feel the extra work was worth it so i just kept the stock amber ones in there.

So if I want it to look pretty much blue 10000K is what I want? Glad you told me or i would have gotten the 8000K.
The pictures on stangmods make the 8000k look more blue though[&:]
edit:
...That is pretty much the look i want, and this guy says he has 8000K fogs / lights...and some matching white LED turn signals....so maybe 8000K is what i need afterall.

nope 10000k is pretty much BLUE. 8000k is the in between and it LOOKS the most similar to factory HIDs because the projectors that the OEMs use make the lighting LOOK purple at some angles. but if you look straight on at the light, or have ever ridden in a BMW/Lexus/etc. with HIDs from the factory, you would see it is much whiter.

GEE ya THINK?? 
. i think he was talking about the grille in the shaker. must have been a custom piece that goes over the egg-crate opening of the shaker to emulate the shakers of the 60s cars like the 69 Mach 1 (which had a very similar grille on its shaker).

haha, thats the shaker hood. Its not a fake scoop like on the GT's. It's actually functional, but doesn't really give any impressive power gains, still mostly a visual mod.

RE: HID lights
i would rather buy from the seller i bought mine from off ebay. i paid $285 shipped and mine were Phillips. not whatever brand stangmods buys. no offense to our sponsor, i just had a really good transaction with the guy i got mine from.
