Can I use a single beam low beam hid kit on a 07 mustang

Why would you want to do that? Do you not use your high beams? Why not just find a set of 9007 HIDs and install that? Also, remember, that your SJB will go crazy if you don't install the capacitors that are needed. Many don't tell you about using them, but they are really a necessity. At least on my 2007. My lights started flashing on high beams, and going off and on. I have the capacitors now, but have never reinstalled the HIDs, just to **** lazy I guess. lol.

470UF 35V 20% RADIAL-LEAD ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR is what you need. Radio Shack number is 272-1030 or 2721030. Hope that helps you out some.

Wats the capacitor for

To fix the Smart Junction Box freaking out about the HIDs being installed and causing your lights to be screwed up.

HIDs do NOT need to be flicked on/off or they die. And you don't want to be flashing your high beams. So it's best to put the capacitors in, or get a proper kit, or don't do it.

It ain't like the old days with these cars. You gotta really know what it'll do when you mod it.

Can u post pic on the capacitor Cuz the radio shack here has no clue wat I'm talking about

And it's not a Radio Shack specific item. A lot of electronics (read: NOT Best Buy or such) places will have them. In my neck o' da woods, that'd be EPO and Ace Electronics, for sure. Frys probably will too. If you wanna go local, that is.

I just googled NOT the part number, but the description, to get that Amazon link, but there's plenty of other places to get it, is the point.

Were do u put the capacitor at

Ok... I'm gonna say this. Sorry if it comes across as haughty or jerky or such, but I think we've gotten to the point where it has to be said:

Any HID kit for a conversion worth the money WILL have the correct stuff for the car. Period. There'll be no chasing of parts such as this, and there will be no guesswork as to what goes in and where. It will plug in, as instructed, and work like it should.

That you might not have a full kit is an issue for me.

That your kit might not have instructions is an issue for me.

That you don't seem to know enough about electrical on the car is an issue for me.

All this is provided you have a kit at all and aren't trying to piece it together or trying to do it on the sly/cheap or something odd like that.

If your kit doesn't have full parts, instructions and is not (with the exception of any power directly from the battery needs) completely plug and play replacement for the filament bulb system, then you need to step away from that idea and get a *real* kit.

This is a safety feature, both in the wiring being correct, and in the car, in that you'd hope not to have those lights quit on a dark twisty road and boom you're over a cliff... oops.

Incorrect kits done incorrectly can cause SJB issues, light issue, and maybe even an electrical fire. So it's important to do it right, or not at all, and not to force the square peg into a round hole.

That said, the capacitor goes between the car harness and the HID system. You will need to consult with the HID kit regarding that. Which should have them already. And instructions.

Just sayin'.

If the kit doesn't come with all this plus some good instructions, it's a **** kit and shouldn't touch your car.

Not only will it never work right, but the crap components will not last.
