blue lights question---er i think they're blue..headlights
Okay so I have a really stupid question...probably. I have a 2006 Ford Mustang Coupe. I want to get some of the blue headlights...although they're annoying as f***, because I can't see very well at night. I know I can see better w/ the blue (I guess they're blue-Idk what they're called, they look like halogen lights when they're shining) because we have them on our F350 Dually. So here's my question, can I change only the bulb and get the same effect or do I have to have like a whole new headlight & bulb?
thx

Are you talking about the HID lights or the el cheapo lights at WalMart that are "blue." Pass on those....seriously. But they are plug and play.
The HID lights are NOT interchangeable with the halogen bulbs.

I saw like these HID adapter kits but its not the same thin we have in our truck. We removed the entire light in our truck. The thing I saw someone put on their mustang was 2 bulbs with a few wires and a box thinggy that ties them together. So now my question is what are the best HIDs? As i said I can't see sh** at night.

Yeah they're HIDs that's what I'm looking for! Thanks I saw like these HID adapter kits but its not the same thin we have in our truck. We removed the entire light in our truck.

I still wanted a blueish tint to the headlights so I actually bought some headlight bulbs on ebay for like $5 each and they were a bit brighter and had a subtle blue/white tint to them. Actually better than the stock ones I had. I had to change one of them out eventually because it burnt out after a year of having it but it was well worth it. I went with a 5000K bulb. I wouldn't go any higher than that though because then they start getting really pricy. Try it out.

yellow also makes deer blend in better if they don't look at you just try wearing yellow tinted glasses at night and you'll see the only really good thing I can think of would be projector headlight assembly with a nice set of Sylvania zxe (I think its zxe anyway) lights they are about 60 bucks a pair but they are amazingly bright and you don't have to mess with anything else (like the extra fuse box or whatever the hell that thing is)

Are these the same ones you're talking about? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/s...zxe#fragment-2

Yeah that's high. I mean, I was looking around $500 or less tbh. But if HID's aren't going to help me see like a s**t ton better, then it'd be a waste.

Yea, those are ****. Don't get them. They will last for a short time before breaking. Especially the cheap ones. If you car is equipped with halogen bulbs, stick with halogen bulbs. I bought my 05 with those installed and they gave me nothing but problems. So I took them out.
A good alternative though..
