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 piss 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:D

Goodluck!

I do agree with everyone that HID is deff the way to go but unfort I am broke right now and I am really just looking for an appearance upgrade that will be semi cheap. I just graduated college so the loans are hitting me right now and I have no job! [/align]I have been looking at stangmods.com and what do you think is the best bang for my buck on this page http://www.stangmods.com/2005-Mustang-Headlight-Foglight-Bulbs-s/154.htm[/align][/align]I have the GT fog lights on my car so I would like to replace both my headlights and foglights, which I dont know what other people think but I think I would like them to be the same color n kind, anyone done diff colors for headlights and fogs??[/align][/align]Thanks guys[/align]

Try Luminics if you want an HID look. Got mine for about 70 shipped off of eBay. I'd save for HIDs tho but, its your call.:D

[/align][/align]Those are pretty sweet but like you said $250 is kinda expensive for those when our stock are pretty nice!!! I wonder if they are on ebay or something for cheaper! Cause those are nice![/align]

here they are. i like them. i dont think however that thye match well with headlights in the grill (if you have them). i was thinking about adding some down where the GT-H has them... but idk...

sorry it took so long for the pics... i wanted to wash her before i showed them off... havent had great weather here lately, or time when there has been great weather...

my only complaints with the headlights are that the instructions were not in english, and the one LED on the left side doesnt work, but im gonna replace all the bulbs soon, so we'll see if its the bulb or the wiring...

I got the Saleens and while they are very expensive, you get what you pay for. Excellent lights.
