2nd2none Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 My car did not come with HIDs although I would love to have them. Was wondering if anyone has seen/heard of anyone actually being able to order the HID lights from Ford and having them swapped out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering about swapping the other way around...changing from HID's to conventional. I like the *look* of sealed beams better than HID's. More of a old school "traditional" look to me. I may wait for a few 2010's to wreck and see if I can pick up a couple of HL assy's from a wrecking yard. As far as I know, they don't have to be GT500s, just Mustangs.

Phill Pollard 2010 Kona Blue/White GT500 I would never even think of going back to conventional headlights after driving with HID's. They are so far superior in lighting the road in front of you... Just IMHO. Try checking these sites: www.hidguy.net http://www.venomousstangz.net/ Oh, thats my Kona Blue on the site with the HID FOG's installed... Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalwart Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I find it very strange they even sell these kits here, they are illegal to use. An HID bulb will NOT work correctly in a conventional reflector. You get more light where you don't need/want it and less where you do need it. The oncoming drivers are often the ones that have to suffer from these "kits". :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so far superior in lighting the road in front of you... Just IMHO. The reason I wanted HID's in the first place was because of their "superior" lighting. I'm 54 years old and as we age your eyesight doesn't just get blurry, but your nightvision goes to hell too. I plan on driving this car on my regular trips between CO and CA and many many times I find myself at night on dark country roads so I got the HID's. What I found after buying the car is that my *night* driving is a very VERY small percentage of my total driving time. So should I have HID's 100% of the time for the 2% of night driving I do??? (??SHRUG??) Oh, I'll most likely keep the HID's in place but I realy *really* like the way the conventional sealed beams look in the car. So should I go "form over function" or vice versa? 6 of 1, half-dozen of another (i.e. "decisions decisions decisions")!

05mustangman Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 i was interested in doing the same thing as swapping out my stock lights for fords hid setup. i talked with the parts at ford and was told they CAN order them but they will be about $1,500. Thats with my little "Discount" so it may be up around $1,800 for the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
