98 or so dollars for the bulbs and the ballasts seems pretty decent.
Question about LED headlights - terminator

Says there are 3 left at the moment. Looks like I will be switching to LED now, both H/L and Fogs.
Last friday, pulled the trigger on some 10th ann rep wheels. I'ts very "OEM" like look but it will be different than the 95 Cobra R DD rep that I have now. They were so chep, like 89$/99$ each, on AM. They are still on sale at this price today I think.
^^And that has what to do with LED headlights?
Ok Tractionless1 the wait is over.
If you want the same LED set-up I used use this link, you need a 9007 and 9005: http://www.ebay.com/itm/26151417665...em=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr
And now the Pics as requested.
This is my HID 6k H/L and Fog Combo.
And this is the LED Ballast vs HID Ballast
LED Bulb on Right and HID on Left, the LED seems to be more crisp and a lot less scatter.
This is LED H/L and HID Fog Combo
And this is LED H/L and LED Fogs, notice how the fogs have less scatter and more of a beam pattern.
And Last but not least final product at night, jeeze I am blind now!!! LOL...It will go in order from Fogs only, H/L and Fogs, H/L High Beam.
I even took the time to get video, to show the magnitude of the brightness.

If you are on the fence about these, don't be, get them! They are worth it and much better than HIDs and much higher quality. The fit was excellent, I didn't have to mod the retainer ring or anything, it was a perfect out of the box plug and play kit!
BUMP! The seller posted more, here is the new link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/72W-6400LM-... cf23&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=1&sd=2615 14176651
Keep in mind you need two separate sets, 9005 (FOGS) and 9007 (H/L)
I'd suggest looking for 9145 or H10 instead of 9005 for the fogs. I used 9005 in my fogs for a while - but the base is different I could never get a good seal. One good rainy day left my fogs full of moisture. Side note - the fogs come apart easily and are easy to clean if needed.
Swapped it out for an actual 9145 bulb, and the base actually slid right into the socket without any issue (which I could not say for the 9005) and I could actually feel the bulb properly sealing into the housing as I installed it.
The Bulbs will look the same - but the base is different. If you do go the 9005 route - and you want the bulb to actually lock in - you will need to carefully break one of the tabs on the base to make it fit properly - and even then - if your luck is like mine - you don't get a good seal.
Edit 2/2/15: I see everyone here is hell bent on buying the wrong size bulb for our fog light housing - so I'll just drop this link here for those who care to learn the difference between 9145 and 9005.

If you guys don't want to wait a month to receive your lights from the china/ebay store then you can order this kit from amazon. I just purchased a kit for my bike (splitting it with a buddy) and will be ordering one for the mustang here shortly.

I ordered these. I currently have HID's on my Cobra.
I'll get some pics and videos and post them after I install them. Probably won't be for a little bit though as the weather here is brutal.
Installed in the bike and can post pictures in a little bit. However, the pictures don't do them any justice. These things are BRIGHT, no scatter and look amazing. Not blinding to oncoming traffic either. Very impressed.
