Picked these up from my dealership today, very high quality Xenon & Krypton high/low bulbs in 6000K "look"... dealer tells me they are very safe and waay brighter than conventional bulbs... a lil on the expensive side @ $31.00 a pair, but have a lifetime warranty and no negative issues with damaging lenses/housings, or so the dealer tells me.
I did not yet install them in my ride, was wondering if anyone had any experience with these so far. link below:

I'd say the odds that they're as white as a 6k bub are low, but they'd most likely be comparable to the ZXE Ultrastars that I run in my Stang, which are pretty white ,and no issues so far. I can't imagine that a halogen bulb would ever be an issue in these housings unless something went terribly wrong

A lot of people think whiter equal better night vision, but that isn't true because whiter bulbs tend to provide very low levels of foreground light and produce more glare.

REALITY: "Brightness" is like "Loudness". It's a subjective perception.

The reason why the scam fools people into thinking their headlamps really work better has to do with the interaction of light that is tinted blue (to any degree) with the human eye. This kind of light has been shown in rigidly-controlled scientific studies to create almost 50% more glare than untinted light from a bulb with clear glass. But there's no 50% increase in seeing to go along with the extra glare; there's no increase in seeing at all, and in most cases there is a moderate reduction in actual seeing light. More glare, less seeing: Everybody loses.

This thread & others have been floating around, and detail your best bet to improve halogens.

I guess these are another verson of "Silverstar" bulbs... at least they are not those crazy blinding hid's installed in reflectors rather than projectors. Box says 60/50W which is pretty much what the stock bulbs are in these mustangs,maybe a lil cooler temp then stock, comparable to Silverstar.
Anyone ever heard of these bulbs before?

"Making a warranty claim is simple. Please fill out the submission form below and we will respond within 48 business hours. You will be responsible for shipping the defective item to us and charged a minimal $5.95 Shipping and Handling for processing your replacement."

Nice a limited "lifetime" warranty BUT if you end up having to do this multiple times that $5.95(per bulb) + cost of shipping it to them + buying a "loaner" bulb while waiting for the replacement to arrive seems like it may turn pricey and a huge pita.

IMHO stick to well known name brands

Buyer beware

I thought the same thing pony,well worded but not very consumer focused... if that's the case I'll just replace with silverstars ultra. My ultra bulbs been on the car since I got it,within a couple of weeks, and they are still working fine...I just thought I'd give these a whirl...all I can loose is $31.00

I'd say anything you can do to perk up the absolutely worthless stock headlights in this car is good. I wouldn't do HIDs, which would really solve your problem, as having them in headlights and not in a switchable auxiliary light isn't great for everyone else comin' atcha.

That said, I put a set of 35 watt 6K HIDs in the factory grille fogs and they blow the **** out of those factory non-HID lights on their own.

HID headlights were a deal-breaker for me. I had to have them in MY Mustang. They actually are the first factory Mustang headlights in history to be worth a damn in stock form. They aren't awesome but, they are good.
