I tried searching and found few pictures of what I am looking for. I want to see what the beam pattern is like on HID conversions (bulb only, not factory housing) for both Headlights & fogs (on GT). Want to see how clear the cutoff is, vs scattered and annoying/unsafe for other drivers.

I have already chosen a supplier & color... just want to check the pattern at this point to make sure this is not a mistake.

You have the shelby lower duct/fog setup? Did you convert those to HID? Do you know what bulb they take?

Here's a picture of mine with the VVME 6k kit. Got flashed alot originally but angled them down a little and haven't been flashed since. The picture is after adjusting them.

i got the pics so here they are.
remember my headlights and fog lights are tinted so the light output that normally causes glare is gone.

These pics are of the light output on a surface.
in sequence.

Low beams with fogs.
Low beams no fogs
Just fogs
High beams

if you want more / Better / Bigger pics PM me and ill email them to you.

VVME 8K kits in both.
disregard the greenish color in the pics.
my camera doesn't like taking night shots with these headlights.

Hmm, see those "spikes" are exactly what I am afraid of.

Any glare issues with the headlights or fogs?



Anyone running factory GT fogs with HIDs? I want to match the fogs but I am worried without the cap for the front of the bulb it will be glare city.

I was also concerned about them at first but I traded cars with a friend of mine and had him follow me and then drive towards me head on. The amount of light in those spikes wasn't enough to bother or blind someone at all.

What year is your car, do you have those little black shields inside your headlight?

How do you adjust the headlights and fog lights, I need to point mine down a little more since the HID install...

There's a plastic screw on the back side of the headlight housing that adjusts the beam angle. Just use a Phillips head screw driver to turn it.
