TRUE HIDs for Mustang

TRUE HIDs for Mustang
Ive been interested in TRUE HIDs for my mustang for quite some time now. Im not talking about these riceboy H-series kits you see on ebay. Im talking about The true DOT/ECE spec that you see on Lexus, BMW, Mercades-Benz/ Audi, Saab, and the like. Setups like this require a retrofit custom installation using your current mustang headlight.
Here is some pictures of the example im speaking of.
Now at this website they have a wholesale inquiry and was thinking mabye we could get chris to mabye get in contact with this guy and offer it as a product on his website. Mabye he can offer the kit with the smoked headlights that are offered or something, I dont know. Just a thought and would like to see the response and interest. These kits would range from 700-1000 dollars to your door ready to go.

They are def. cool and if you can afford it, go for it. My only concern is that the factory alternator on the mustang might be inadequate for the power required. I don't know much about HID but I do know that they pull more power. Anyway, you may already know this or know that the alternator can take it.

actually, I'm pretty sure that they require less amps than normal headlights, but they take more voltage. they get the extra voltage from a step up voltage regulator that comes in the kit. But you never know, I could be wrong....They do look good, but I wouldn't pay that price for them.

i have the HID system on my car but without the projector(i plan on getting the projector headlights this winter for the HIDs or thought about taking em out and just putting in a set of diamond headlights with blue bulbs..).. as in the ballast takes the place in the stock headlight assembly of the blue bulbs i used to have.. this method is not the greatest.. as the porjector focus' the light to w/e u want to aim it.. HID in a stock headlight assembly as i run right now is not able to focus and light therefore it just tends to light the whole thing up and u have pretty much no way of angling it as to keep it out of the oncoming passer byers... cause these things ARE BRIGHT!!! i think your right about the using less amps but requires alot more voltage..cause when i turn the lights on with the car off they flicker alot and finally even out.. but when the car is running and i turn lights on they pop right on and are prefectly fine...

Your right about the crappy cheesy lights they sell on ebay. I just bought a pair for about 20 dollars and they said that they were the xenon/krypton HID bulbs and when I installed them they look just like my stock lights.

It's definitely a mod I'd like to do and if anyone has had the HID conversion on their stang for more than 6 months with no problems, please let me know.

It didn't sound right to me either. LOL But he assures me that the factory alternator will no longer be warrantied with an HID conversion because of "known issues" with them drawing too much voltage. Anyway, if it works out for you, let me know because I definitely want those.

Headlights
I have HID Xenon on my wife's Infinti. These headlights are AWESOME, nothing you can do to conventional headlamps can even come close to having the entire HID package. But for that kinda dough, I'll live with the Sylvania Silverstars on my Mustang. :icon_puke

Ok so now I have been searching the net a little and found this

ive looked into them, someone was/is doing a group buy/sell for mustang true hid headlight AND foglight kit, the foglights were only made in a short supply so they were rare, he was selling them for about $300, $600 for headlight and foglights, and i hate myself for this, but i didnt save the link to his page. the company that made it started with a M. ive tryed serching for it with no success.
p.s. TRUE hids use less energy, thats why they are legal, the DOT has a limit on the energy a light can use, not its brightness, thats how HID are super bright and are still road legal.
