well mine are in the truck, i havent done the stang just yet, but mine are on the radiator support

GateJockey81 · 02-25-2008, 09:15 PM

WOW!!! i put mine on today, took about 20 min., I mounted the ballasts on the header panel under the radiator cover thingy. completely hidden. I used two existing holes and bolted them to it. They are absolutely AWESOME! Here's some pics...the vert is Bagged_and_Boyds' car. He's got 10k bulbs, i've got 8k's.

Did you get the high AND low beam kit?

superGT2000 · 02-25-2008, 10:21 PM

oh snap!! is the last pic with the high beam or low beam??

GateJockey81 · 02-25-2008, 10:31 PM

just lows, dont even need high beams or fog lights. they light up every sign/reflector/homeless vagrant visible

superGT2000 · 02-25-2008, 11:10 PM

what are the highest these come in??

timpryor · 02-26-2008, 08:26 AM

i'm ordering these on payday, now i'm torn on what temp to get, most of my driving is backroads

2001blackGT · 02-26-2008, 09:13 PM

man those lights look great im gonna have to get me some 2

txmustang6933 · 02-26-2008, 10:03 PM

told ya'll. i love mine. however!!!! do you know the lower the number the brighter they will be. the brightest being 4300K which look slightly yellow and up to 12000K which look purple.

GateJockey81 · 02-26-2008, 11:31 PM

I got the 8k's and they're white with JUUUUUST a hint of blue, not much at all. The blue is more noticible on initial fire-up and get whiter/brighter as they warm up. they really light up the white fog line on the road. I love the color. Thanks txmustang6933 for the link to these, they are GREAT!!!

txmustang6933 · 02-28-2008, 09:14 PM

nope think about heat, a white flame is the hottest. the site will explain it best. i jst ordered the fog and high/low kit in the 6000K for mine. i'll post it when i get them

superGT2000 · 02-28-2008, 09:29 PM

yeah i read that, i might have read it wrong from a different source...but thanks for the link

DafreakinReakin · 02-28-2008, 09:34 PM

so these are worth buying?

Magnapack97 · 02-29-2008, 05:18 PM

Do they not have a kit for fogs?

txmustang6933 · 02-29-2008, 06:10 PM

yea you just have to know what bulbs they are. 94-98 i believe they are the 899, but the 880 have the same base and should fit. tell ya soon

coats04 · 02-29-2008, 11:09 PM

let me know how your cobra comes out.ill be doing the 94cobra if yours turns out nice.

BlackSunshine01 · 03-01-2008, 03:21 PM

dont you need high beams to pass inspection?

GateJockey81 · 03-01-2008, 06:52 PM
