How is that even possible?? All the 6 speed knobs I've seen have 6th and reverse in opposite directions... He would have had to have thought he had a 7th gear or something!!

i noticed on the site that it says that all cars that didnt come with hid from factory and are converted are illegal. has anyone had problems with the law on a hid conversion?

Nope.

BlackSunshine01 · 03-05-2008, 12:16 AM

how long have you had yours in graves?

Graves · 03-05-2008, 12:18 AM

Since September maybe? I also don't have a plate on the front of my car. No problems yet.

nice. i think im gonna order some of those bad boys for my ride.

Graves · 03-05-2008, 12:41 AM

Everyone is doing it. As soon as the rest of the local population of Mustangs in San Antonio jumps on the band wagon, and joins us cool kids, I'm getting rid of mine.

BlackSunshine01 · 03-05-2008, 01:14 AM

i havent seen alot of cars with an hid conversion. just random ones here and there. but they are almost seem to be standard equipment on new cars these days.

Graves · 03-05-2008, 01:19 AM

I see them every where on this side of town. Kinda lame... Mostly on shit-box late 80s, early 90s ricers. If you go to Fudd's, they're everywhere..

Haven't had any problems with mine yet and mine are projector w/halos. I guess they confuse me with BMW's... HAHA. Had mine in since July I think.

These transmissions have a reverse lock out feature that doesn't allow that to happen. Plus wtf would you be doing that you need to bang 6th? I think that's an urban legend...

thats very true but some aren't real...just some knock offs and some are just the blubs that don't even put out light...all they do is just change the color

txmustang6933 · 03-05-2008, 09:17 PM

i got both pair of mine today, i'll post pics once i do it. i've had mine in the truck for awhile now and i've never had any law issues. i dont know about that ss, but i saw the aftermath and it was bad. i ordered my lights straight from vvme.com and took less then a week to get here

txmustang6933 · 03-07-2008, 11:53 PM

i got mine installed.... half way. the headlights are easy as hell. however!!!!..... the fog lights are a cunt hair too long and i kinda broke them.

so... i'm gonna contact them to see about a swap.

May be urban legends but it happened to one of my friends on the highway.

Dissapointed with that company I ordered some 6k for my mustang and they sent me out 8k, H7's I tried working things out with them, but they deny my request I planned on shipping them back unfortunetly it cost $98 to return them. So I stuck with HIDs I have no use for.

Todays Lesson:

Don't buy cheapie eBay HIDs.

Not always the case. I bought 6k originally from stangmods and I got 6k, but when I installed them, they had a bad ballast or something and they blew. The replacements they sent me however were 8k, and instead of dealing with the hassle of trying to exchange them... I just kept them. I still kinda wish I had 6k, but the 8k still look good.

Graves · 03-23-2008, 11:28 AM

They got replaced, though.
