Those look so nice.  Are they a newly produced product?  I remember the first guys that tried a 2007 HID kit had melting wiring issues.

So, I was thinking about adding converting a 2007 to HID, and was wondering if this kit/conversion has gone mainstream. The one other thing I happened across is the kit(s) listed here:

Any other alternatives?

The initial hidguy kits came with 35W bulbs, which melted the stock plastic foglight housings.  The present kit (which I have) includes 25W bulbs and they seem to have solved the problem.  I've had the 6000K HID headlight and foglight kits installed for almost a year and no problems whatsoever -- and I have kept a very close eye on the foglight housings.

Thanks for the update info, marsh. That's really good news. Here is my setup as of now:

- I have LED switchbacks for the turn signals that are housed in clear housings. They flash [amber-off/amber-off] during the day when the lights are off. When the lights are on they function as driving lights and function the following way: [white-amber/white-amber]. They are 6000K xenon-white

- I have LED fog lamp bulbs installed in the stock housings. They match the switchbacks whitish-bluish (6000K xenon-white) of the fogs.

- I have the PIAA lamps (high/low beams) installed in stock 07 housings, but the color is noticeably off from the other lights.

While the lights function quite well, my personal preference would be for a perfect (or near perfect) whitish/bluish color match on all of them.  You would think that by now, the aftermarket would have developed a decent LED solution for the headlamps as well - even going so far as to develop aftermarket housings with lenses, and reflectors optimally suited for an LED application. LED headlight tech has been with us for a solid 5-6 years now, and it's becoming more "mainstream" with ever passing day. Probably just a matter of time before hitting the Mustang aftermarket.  For now, the only option we seem to had is from HIDGuy.

What HID kit did you use?  How hard is the fog light modification?  Im looking to do a HID conversion next month.
