HID Headlight Bulb Upgrade

[alexgg2]

Has anyone upgraded the headlight bulbs on the 2015 gt mustang. I want to upgrade mine since the lights look like halogen bulbs and not HIDs. They are to yellow I want to get 6000k HID bulbs installed. The 2014 mustang lights seem to be a little more white than the 2015. Anyone do this yet. Light output is a little weak too, if I can't find anything i might just do an fx-r 3.0 protector swap on these headlights to improve light output since I have a set laying around.

Did a quick search and found some D3S HID bulbs from The Retrofit Source. They sell Philips brand 6000k and Osram 5000k HID bulbs for these cars. These are high quality bulb brands. Here's the link for anyone looking to upgrade bulbs. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/components/bulbs.html?lamp_size=296

I don't have my car yet, but I've noticed the same yellow on others. I'll do the whiter bulbs

My only problem with the lights is the sharp cut off. I guess I'm just used to the more diffuse light emissions of halogen bulbs.

did anyone replace their headlight bulbs just yet to see if the phillips took care of the "yellowness" of the factory bulbs?

>i put the diode dynamics in my car and can't help but notice the difference between the fogs and now the switchback turn signals and the factory HID bulbs. If anyone has pics of the different bulbs it would be much appreciated.

I have 5500K and love the look. I can take pics once it gets dark. I also have the switchbacks

I have the TRS 5500 D3S bulbs on my 15, bit brighter than stock bulbs. I will try to take some pics.

Just get some off ebay for ~$15 and be done with it.

TRS stuff is so overpriced its ridiculous.

pics would be awesome. I am also running the switchbacks and couldn't help but notice the yellowing compared to the new LED lights and original fog lights. thanks for the feedback!

Installed some from the TRS into my wife's '10 Milan and the cutoff is perfectly fine. After doing this, there is NO way I'd ever go back to halogen bulbs. The change in what you see was insane and well worth the money. It will be one of my first mods if any car I buy has a halogen bulb in an HID housing.
