Default H13 HID bulbs?

Obviously, there's a problem with the average H13/9008 HID bulb in stock Mustang headlights -- there is no "blocker" and the lights would be pretty annoying to oncoming traffic.

I found this on ebay and the H4 bulb pictured has what seems to be a great solution - a built in reflector. Unfortunately, I can't find an H13 bulb with the same feature.





Anyone seen this type of bulb in H13 format, or have some other solution in the same price range?

yes. the problem is that you put HID capsules in a halogen housing. Which you shouldn't do.

and no, that "blocker" doesn't fix the fact that the HID arc is not in the correct "focal" point of the reflector of the halogen housing.

if you want HIDs in your car, you need to use housings/projectors designed to work with HID capsules.
