Has anyone upgraded their stock headlight bulbs to HID's without projectors? I feel it may be to bright with the stock reflectors but wasn't sure haha

 

Do some searches - lots of talk about this.

 

Will do! Thanks for the info

 

Glare ftw

 

yeah, you don't want to drop HIDs in a halogen housing. I just upgraded from halogens to factory HIDs. Once you source the HID headlights, you just need to get the special connectors and a couple of relays. not a big deal if you plan it out well ahead of time.

 

The other option is to actually retrofit your housings...

 

if you invest in a good kit like from retro-solutions.net, you can get surprisingly good results with the stock lamps. hid ****'s come out to playayayeee...

 

We have a great HID Conversion kit for the 2012 Mustang, I have it on my 2007 GT with the reflective housing and it's not overkill by any means.

Here's a link to our 2012 Mustang replacement lighting: http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/l....html?year=102

Shoot me a PM if you need more info about HIDs

Thanks!

Drop-in HIDs have glare, Period. Don't beat around the bush here.

 

Yep, and it's annoying to oncoming driers tha have to share the road with these that think its cool to run them without the housings.

IMO, that picture proves the point.

 

See the ceiling?

 

agreed. sponsor or not.

 

Thanks for all the responses. I always figured it wouldn't be a good idea to put HIDs in the stock housing but wasn't sure. That's why I like everyone's opinion!! Much appreciated! Now I wish I would have got the HID upgrade when I had my mustang built haha oh well!

 

it's really not that big a deal to upgrade. just need to plan it well. like we said, 2 options: get OEM HID headlights or retrofit halogen housings with projectors.

You can easily buy a set of used OEM halogens for $130 (like the ones I'm selling ) and have projectors retrofitted in them. lots of info on this forum.
