2008 HID Headlights Retrofit to 2007?
HID headlights are a factory option on the 2008 GT500. Does anyone know whether they can be retrofitted to the 2007?
I'm only interested in a factory kit here - not an aftermarket one. Want to preserve the factory design, and of course the Ford warranty. Hence I would have the Ford parts installed by a Ford dealership.
What are HID lights? Are they the very bright blue or purple looking lights?
Yes, see here for some info and the best aftermarket kits I've found so far. I understand that the HID headlight unit from Ford is somewhere around $500 per light, but haven't discussed this with a dealership yet. I would like to make the switch, just want to be very careful about not irritating the car's electrical system.
Factory HID usually have a self-leveling system, and that appears to be important because of their brightness. Haven't looked into that yet where these aftermarkets are concerned - or the Ford kit, for that matter.
HID Headlights for 2007 GT500
The end of my research was that this kit from Stangmods is the best. Simple & easy to install, no harm to or compromise of the car's original electrical system, and both regular & high-beam HIDs. I recommend the 4300K color (all white), as it is the best for human vision enhancement. I have installed this kit on my GT500 and am very pleased with it - would never go back to the old, dim halogen bulbs.

The color is dependent on the bulb. The stock HIDs in my 2008 GT500 are white. I put ones with a blue hue in my 2006 vista blue GT.Originally Posted by rdoss8
