Default Anyone put different headlights in there Stang??

I am thinking of putting some Blue Xenon Headlights on the Stang but I am unsure about it. Has anyone done this? If so which ones and where did you get them from?

Thanks

I put these kind of replacement bulbs in my car when I first got it. Ran into two major problems: 1) you can't see very good with damn things, the bluish-white light is so **** poor at night you'll be cussing every minute you're driving with them, and 2) the driver's side bulb tends to burn out on a very regular basis. These bulbs are way over priced to have to replace them every two weeks or so. They have a very fine filament in them, and with the Mustang's irregular votage in the headlight system, the driver's side voltage tends to be stronger than the passenger's side, so pop goes the bulb. You can try them if you want, but most likely one of the two mentioned demons will get to you sooner than later. I ended up going with a basic better stock bulb and I'm very happy with these. Good luck, Jack.

HID'S!!! They come in kits now that are pretty easy to install and aren't the most expensive things in the world to get. There are different temps you can get too (colors). They are brighters, illuminate more of the road in a wider direction and just look sharper.

If you're looking for a quick fix, get some Luminics bulbs, they arent the brightest out there but, the look pretty good ifwhat you're looking for isappearance. Definnetly something to look into is HIDs they look awesome, a bit pricey but, its defintley worth every penny because they last tons longer than Halogen bulbs and offer much better lighting than any bulbs you can find on the market. Stangmods does offer some of the best but, you could chance it and get some off eBay. There are a few on here with eBay kits and have great things to say about them so...Yea LOL

Goodluck!
