ordered my old HID kit off the vvme website. Their shipping is fast and their customer service is excellent. 12v 55w digital slim h13 9008 bi xenon HID kit with 6000k bulbs is what I will be ordering next for my mustang..it's around $50-60....i need to stop dragging my feet. The install is easy as hell, just plug some wiring harnesses into your existing wiring and that is pretty much it. Just be sure to find a good spot to ground it to and that will eliminate most of your problems.

They might have given you the same wattage for the fogs as they did for the headlights. If you order the 6000k for your fogs, your lights likely won't match.

 

[dmarq]

yea im 99% sure its the same wattage considering how unprofessional they are. What do you recommend i do to have them match while still have good visibility and a nice look?

I'd check with what AirAndAsphalt was saying about the 35w for fogs. Maybe his fogs match his headlights better?? He seems happy with them, so they probably do. You should be able to get a 35w foglight kit for pretty cheap and sell your existing to get your money back.

Just go buy 6000k bulbs. It's a nice bright white with the slightest tinge of blue around the edge until they heat up...looks awesome.

@AirAndAsphalt and @dmarq. Thank you for answering my question about the difference between 35W&55W, and also for your input and telling me about those websites, ill be sure to check them out when it comes time to get my HIDs. And @mustang17, I'm worried about the same thing happening to me. The lights don't match now and with my aftermarket smoked fog lights I installed and I don't want to upgrade to HIDs just yet until I figure out what is gonna match or come closest to matching.

No problem, man...I was thinking of smoked fogs too, but then I would have the different color HID problem too so I just decided to go with the traditional amber color for my fogs.

 

[dmarq]

Yeah, I guess if its bright enough, it wouldn't be too noticeable. As long as its not an obvious difference in color ill be happy. I also have two lights towards the bottom (my highbeams) which I've never seen anybody have so far, so I'm gonna have to figure out how to get the HIDs down there too.

Yeah, I was looking at your pics, I've not seen HID bulbs for those smaller unit....

 

[dmarq]

So I would just have to look in the owners manual for that?

Can search all types of bulbs here...

And the ballasts you will just mount securely wherever you have a flat surface to screw them in. You will also need a bare spot of metal to attach your grounding wire.

[QUOTE="AirAndAsphalt;1535123"

Actually, if the kit is designed for the specific bulb type, as most kits today are, they will just plug into the socket for the old bulb, which already contains a grounding wire. So there's literally no extra wiring that needs to be done besides plugging in the kit and then mounting the ballasts. We have it good nowadays [/QUOTE]

Lol nowadays?! Haha...the last few kits I've seen had external ground wires...damn, where are these kits without them?!! Been about two years since I did my last HID upgrade.

 

[dmarq]

So if just get the correct bulb size, and replace it with the bulb I have now, that's all I have to do? Seems to easy to be true lol

As long as you have an HID setup, yes, you just put the correct color bulb in there that you want for your headlight plug. The bulbs aren't too different looking than normal ones. If you do not have an HID setup, then the HID bulb will still fit, but it won't have the power behind it and won't work the same...was that what you were asking?

 

[dmarq]

yeah slosix i was thinking to just buy from amazon or ebay but i figured ddm has bright and no one seems to complain i want them to look good ya know? Like i said before im just not sure what to go with because if i change and they still dont match i will go crazy

As long as you have smoked fog lights, they will never match...so either smoke your headlights or ditch the counterproductive smoking of lights all together and you will match.

 

[dmarq]

well to be honest you can match them...

here's an older setup of mine

55w 6k headlights and 55w 6k fog lights from DDM...the headlights are stock oem housings...the fogs are GT fogs with 3 coats of vht on them

Nice, I've never seen them match before.

 

[dmarq]

yeah...it was my favorite setup.

Did you coat the fog lens to match or was it by chance that after three it matched?
