They definitely look best on V6, GT/CS, and Shelby's.
Before I ordered my car in Feb 2010, I had only seen HID's "in person" on one 2010 Mustang and it was a Grabber Blue GT. It was hard for me to picture them on a Kona Blue MCA V6 that I planned on ordering, so I was really on the fence as to whether or not to get them especially since the unneccessary (for me) Security Pkg was mandatory w/ HID's. However, I do a lot of night time driving and my eye sight is not getting any better with age so I bit the bullet and spent the extra $841.05 (invoice + tx).
They really give my car an almost sinister look, and I've grown to like the overall front end appearance a lot. Now when I see a non-HID Mustang (even GT's), they just look plain / base model-ish to me where I used to think they looked much better.
My previous '04 with it's factory smoked lens headlamps had surprisingly good lighting (better than my previous '94 & 98) and got even better with Silverstar bulbs. Thought of just going the Silverstar route on the 2011, but had no idea just how often I was going to have to replace bulbs as I had just put them on my '04 2 weeks before ordering the new car.
The 2011 HID lighting performance is definitely better than my '04, but not a HUGE "night & day" type difference that all the HYPE makes them out to be.
