none eh, that makes me lose faith in sending him my HID kit and hoping he sends it back.
you said you're able to make the bezel and shroud yourself, are you able to make a set for me as well?there's a reacharound and a few bills in it for you

Hello Johnny,
You will have to update me as to what service you are
requesting now. I remembered that you were only
interested in a custom shroud/bezel for your
projector. If that is still the case, please know
that I only require the projector and not your entire
headlight for this service. I will not be able to
remove the projector from your headlight unless you
are actually going to purchase a retro fit from me.
This means that if you are still only interested in a
custom shroud/bezel, you will have to remove the
projector from the headlight yourself and then ship me
this projector. As for the quality of the kit you
have referenced, I have no personal experience with it
myself. Keep in mind that some companies will rebadge
products as genuine Philips or Hella when in fact they
are knock-offs. Philips and Hella do not make HID
ballast for 9007 bulbs so if this kit truly is made by
Philips or Hella, it would have to be a rebased kit.
In addition, you should understand that by choosing to
go with a 6000k bulb, you are sacrificing lumens for
the blue color. As for pics, you can view these links
which are from my website. I can provide you
additional pics if you require.

the bolded part worries me. I was estatic to read that the ballast and such are made by such well known brands, but John tells me they don't make it for our size?

after doing some more research on the HID lighting, it looks like the plug and play HIDs kinda suck, and in order to get a clean, bright looking light, im gonna need a set of projectors from a BMW or Audi 
anyone have plans like this? its lookin expensive
and is there any difference between 1)cutting my current headlight housings and fitting in some projectors or 2)just buying a set of mustang projector headlights?

Who cares if the plug and play kit is not as good as projectors? It's still better than stock and easy to switch out for inspections. Also projectors look like A$$ on mustangs.DerekStangGT said:after doing some more research on the HID lighting, it looks like the plug and play HIDs kinda suck, and in order to get a clean, bright looking light, im gonna need a set of projectors from a BMW or Audi

According to everything I read, aftermarket projectors are worse as far as light dispersion than using your stock housings. That's not including retrofitting a genuine set of HID projectors, mind you.
Here's a email from Matt, who's been reading this thread:
"Just to let you know, I can get the 4300K HID and the 12000K HID. I will be getting pics of the 4300K kit this weekend so you can refer people to our site. Thanks man!
PS: I have seen some people's responses about who really makes the ballasts. All I know is, that our supplier has told us the ballasts are made by Philips. I wouldnt sell the HIDs if they gave me problems. Out of the 500+ kits we've sold, we've had 4 people whos ballast didnt work from the factory. That is less than a 1% defect rate. Also, each HID kit carries a one year warranty. So, if something went wrong, we would replace the defective part free of charge. Just more information you can pass along to people. Thank you!

yessir, im still in. the one year warranty on everything puts my mind at ease some more, plus Matt seems like a good businessman to deal with.san~man said:
one question though if anyone knows. i work at Acura, where all the new cars have HID projectors. the most common problem ive seen is the inverter going out. is there an inverter included in this kit?
