High Intensity Discharge HID Projector Light Retrofit
- Thread starter Ryushin
- Start date
They did, but they only made one for their demo booth at SEMA. It was a complete drop in headlight housing and all electronics. Just like the ones that they used to make for the F-150 and also a type for aux headlights.
They were forced to discontinue them by the DOT.
I asked the engineer in charge of the project and he gave me quite a bit of info at the time. The Mustang lamp had both high and low beams and separate projectors.
It looked great. Sure wish that they had been able to go ahead with the design.
I still have the set of aux headlights that they made. They closed them out for 145$ a pair.
Ill show you some high intensity discharge! :no homo: 
looks good, looks like lightwerkz turns out some quality stuff... I used customlightz on my last retrofit project.

You know what is going to be really funny .. when the cop pulls you over for them and giving you a ticket.. and not giving a shit about who retrofitted what.
I give you props for going to that extent but ill stick with my HID's in the stock head lamps.. they dont shine in anyone eyes ( checked with a buddy they first day i had them and he said there is little to no mirror glair ) and project almost the same as stock .

They would have to sell them as "off road" only as putting HID's in any car without the factory option is illegal, and even if a HID option is available you are suppose to use factory componets. I've never heard it happening, but you could fail a state inspection with HID's if their not a factory option.
Right, but not sure on inspection they really care.
The deal with HID's is they want to to have "auto levelers" on them like mb/audi/saab and others so not to blind people.
I have Bi Xenon's on my Audi and they dont blind people unless you set them too high.
You can sure adjust the projectors 100 times better than HID's in stock housings and reason I know is I have them.
Better than stock sure.
looks amazing, thats what I want to do to mine, tell him to get in here and get us some information for a GP perhaps.
Well, I've gotten too excited about putting my lights in, and I'm going to skip taking the pictures of the stock lights at night. So I'm installing everything now. I don't know if I'll get done tonight or not but we'll see....
Well, so much for installing my lights. It seems the someone in my household accidently threw away a bag that contained the ballasts and the wiring harness into the trash and they picked up this morning. I can't freaking believe it! I've sent an e-mail to Caesar to see if he can make me another harness and if he has the 55 watt ballasts in stock if he can send it all next day air Saturday delivery. Now I think I'm going to go mope awhile. :cryying:

It happens but atleast its easy to fix.

Sorry to hear about his delay...

Whaaaaat???? Wow man, that's horrible luck!!
Sounds like mine actually. :nonono:
Good luck! ;-)
Damn $1200 for those wow.
Too bad about the ballast getting tossed, hope to see some night shots soon.

Man i dunno. I know mustang headlights suck but i get more blinded by random acura's with true projectors than i do with cars with a decent 4300k or 5000k bulb and ballast kit.
Any updates on the install???
Caesar sent had the ballasts drop shipped from his distributer. And low and behold he got them on Saturday and not me. So his distributer screwed up. He sent them out yesterday so I should have them in the next couple of days. But I won't have time to install them until hopefully this weekend. At least at got my quiet Borla exhaust installed. I wouldn't even think of putting a louder exhaust on a daily driver.
Well, the wiring harness and ballasts showed up yesterday. So I'll be installing everything this weekend. Does anyone have any good ideas where to place the ballasts?
I ran mine under the plastic radiator cover.
