I have a question I asked in a seperate topic in the 99-04 specific threads ..
I was given a set of MeccaTune Red Sun HIDs from a friend and we installed them into a 2003 Cobra .. I know the high beam indicator comes on because they are single output HIDs .. but now the fogs won't light up at the same time because the highbeams are telling the car they're on .. I now know how to rewire the switch so the fog lights come on independently from the rest of the lights, my question is .. is this common and is there another way to make them work that you know of, and also is if re-wiring is the only option, will it be safe to use since I plan on adding HID's to the fog lamps as well ? Do you think your 12000K fog lamp HID kit will match the color of my current kit ?

Thank in advance !
To activate your HIDs, do you have to turn your high beams on? If so, there is little mod you can do to the plug that came with the HIDs so that they turn on with your low beam and then you won't have the annoying high beam indicator light come on. We have a how to on our blog that goes over how to create a "fake" relay so that your fogs stay on with the high beams. It doesnt involve any rewiring and it can be removed in less than a minute. I am not sure which color kit you have for the headlamps. If you don't have a 12K kit, then the foglamps won't be a dead on match. If you want, you can email us and we'll email you the instructions for the re-wire for the headlamps and the fake relay for the fogs. Thanks!

i sent an email to stangmods.com detailing the problems I'm having, I saw your relay write up on here, so I'm going to do that and hopefully it works .. also as I wrote in my email, I'm very interested in purchasing a 12000k HID H10/9145 kit for the cobra .. The meccatune red sun kit i have for my headlights is a 12000k kit so as long as your fogs will match I am good to go .. whats the pricing on that kit and do you think it will match the other brands 12000k ? .. thanks !

Yeah I understand .. my kit is plug and play too .. it wasn't a cheap kit and has worked on my gt for 2 years now and the bulbs haven't gone out yet .. its just when i put them from the gt vert to the cobra coupe .. the fog light thing came up .. but its fixed with the relay thing now .. no worries.. i just need a set of HID fogs that match the color of my headlamp HIDs ...

Im interested in getting some HIDs for my 2008 Mustang Gt. Im not sure if I want the single or the bi-xeon. What kind of pricing can you do on the 6000 color ones. PM me both prices for each set. My Bday is coming up and I can tell my girlfriend to get me these for me, but I don't want her to have to spend awhole lot either. So any kinda deal you can do for me would be great.
