Why HID Lighting for your Mustang?

We get several emails and calls a day from customers asking about our HID lighting kits for the Ford Mustang, Lightning, and Harley Truck. Listed below are the most common questions and answers to these questions.

Question: Will HIDs melt my headlamps or wiring?

Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT! You see, your stock Mustang headlight bulb consumes 55 watts of power when on. Our HID bulbs consume only 35 watts of power. The truth is, HIDs consume 20 less watts to operate than a halogen bulb. This means, your HID kit will consume LESS power and produce LESS heat than your stock bulbs. In addition, StangMods.com would never sell a product that would be detrimental to your vehicle's functioning. We stand behind all of our products 100%!

Question: What does 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K mean?

Answer: These numbers are used to distinguish between the different color temperatures of each kit. When we say temperature, we are not referring to hot or cold. Instead, we are referring to the color and amount of light that is emitted. As a general rule of thumb, the LOWER the kelvin temperature, the BRIGHTER the light output will be. Thus, a 4300K HID Kit will produce more light than a 12000K HID kit. In addition, some think that the higher kelvin temperature, the more heat that is produced. This is simply untrue. Each kit operates at only 35 watts! Your stock halogen bulb uses 55 watts!

Question: What is the difference between the 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, and 12000K HID Kit. Which one is brighter?

Answer: The only noticeable difference between each kit is the color of light that they produce. Technically, the 4300K produces more light than the 12000K, but the difference is very not noticeable. In deciding which HID kit to get, you should choose a kit that produces the color of your liking. Below is a side by side comparison of the color produced by each kit.


As you can see, the 4300K produces a pure white light. The 6000K produces a whiteish-blue light, the 8000K produces a blue light, and the 10000K produces a blueish-purple light.
Question:What is the difference between your kits and the less expensive kits found on Ebay?
Answer: Ever heard the expression, you get what you pay for? This is exactly the case when comparing our HIDs to less expensive kits on the market.
