Default head lights

would either of these work for a Chrome Dual Mustang Halo Projector Headlights - LED (99-04) and would either be better than what already comes with these headlights? what do you guys think?

Well the first bulbs i believe HID replacement bulbs so if you don't have ballasts they won't work, the second ones, i don't know about. And lastly, personally, IMO, projector headlights are ugly as hell on the 99-04's.

I have no clue. Personally, I'd take that 50 and double ur money for some smoked stock headlights. I fell into a position similar, i lost my blackouts, and had projectors underneath. Just figured id spend around 100 to get a new healight setup.

I don't like the smoked headlights I just want a led light that fits the chrome halo projector lights for 02 stang. I just don't like how dim my lights are I want them to be bright and right now they are not at all.

Then why change ur headlight housings? Just invest in an HID system. Dustin (spike africa) sells em.

I already have the halo projector lights I just want them brighter and the HID system doesn't work with the halo head lights.

What bulb do those projectors use for the low beams?

I'm pretty sure I either carry or can get HID kits for those.

I think it is the H1 bulb that AM carries.

I don't carry that setup, however I can get you them with the custom order option on my website.

You need to be 100% sure of the bulb though.

I'm 99.9% sure that it uses an odd bulb size for the actual "projector" itself, something that isn't readily availabe off the shelf. The one that was in my '98 actually had a hard wired bulb, you couldn't unplug it, the wires were actually soldered to the connectors in the bulb housing.

The cheapo aftermarket projectors most likely wouldn't work well with HID's either, they would probably throw light all over the place unlike a real projector. Your best option is to get a standard type headlight and add HID's.

alright thanks because the head lights I have are the halo projectors that AM sales and it says the HID kit that they sell would not work with the head lights so I was just wondering if it says that the H1 bulb fits in it then they made an LED for it but wasn't sure.

these are the headlights that are on my car. I was wondering if there are any LED lights that go with them or at least how can I make them to really bright head lights.

You can add a HID kit to those housings. That's how your going to get the most light.

Dustin, what I'm trying to explain is this: Those dual halo "projectors" use two separate bulbs, one for the "low beam" and one for the "high beam." The "low beam" is the bulb that is sealed in the projector and it is a stange size, I don't honestly believe that you're going to have an HID that will fit it, I don't even know if he can replace the "projector" bulb when it burns out.. Plus the "projectors" are really shallow and basically have no room inside, it's a really small bulb.

Good luck with it though.

I can change the bulb because I wanted to see what kind of bulb was in it and I was able to take it out I just don't think that there is any HID kit that will fit in it. I was just wondering if the LED light in the original post would fit because it is an H1 light which AM says will fit only in the headlight that I have in my car. I was just wondering if any H1 would fit in because I don't want to order it and it not fit.

Go to the parts store, buy an H1 bulb, try it, if it fits then you're good. If not, just take it back n sell ur headlights

LED Bulbs ARE NOT brighter than filament bulbs, they just produce a cleaner more clear light for things like marker lights and map lights. LED's aren't meant to be used for headlights.

Also, the first link that you posted would require the HID Ballasts to work, so you would be better off using one of Dustin's (spikes) HID kits if it will work.

yea that is what I figured but I don't think that it will work because AM says HID systems will not work so I was just going to ask yall what light would put out the brightest light. the ones that come stock do not put out enough light so I guess i will just order the lights that AM suggests when you buy the head lights. thanks for the info guys

Yeah, LED bulbs are definitely not brighter.

The back screws off from what the photo shows, so if there is a room for the bulb then it should work no problem. Then again I would sell them and stock ones or smoked stock ones instead, but thats me.
