Got them in! It took about two hours total. Most of the time was spent zip tying things out of the way. They look great. I still need to wash her and take better pics tonight. Will keep updated!

Here are the installation pics. Brian is in most of the pics, he helped me with the install. (Zapp here at TMS- who had [for two months] his blue 2000 coupe with 20's)

my kit was from SPORTIVA Motors High/ Low Flex Bi Xenon Dual Beam Bulb Type
8000K

$76 shipped!
Great birthday present and good ol' car workin' for me and my long time Mustang buddy!






Installed!

I went back to the stock lamps, hate every second of it! I'm getting ready to sell my 07 GT/CS, so most everything is going back to stock... did I say I hate the stock lights?

I hated the stock lights too, but I find that the P&P HID kits just give off way too much glare for other drivers. But to each their own!

If people must get these, I always recommend 4300K or 6000K max. Anything higher and you are actually sacrificing visibility for color. Plus IMO they don't really "look" like HIDs since the bluish color that people seem to associate with OEM HIDs is actually on the projector cutoff, not the entire beam - that is white.

Eh, they work great for me. I am very happy with mine. As you said, each to their own.
