anyone burning HID's on their thirdgen?

just curious.. a buddy put a set into his car (Honda) and well, I love'em. They look super nice and really light up the road, a must for mountain carving wild life covered BC roads! So now another friend bought a set for his Mustang.

So I'm just curious.. anyone running HID's on their thirdgen? How do you like them, ease of installation? Heck, throw up some pics!

well I did search.. and didn't find what I was looking for.

What I want to know is for the people that have them, was it worth it? How do you like them?

For the cost involved; 4 new light housings, four new hid bulbs, four ballasts, and all related wiring and relays.

So, was it worth it?

Yes, it was worth it. Way better than the stock sealed beams.

I used a sylvania xenarc kit x4656. Got it off the web for $400...complete kit, 4 housings, hid bulbs, ballasts, halogen hi-beams, etc. Works great and was DOT approved at the time of purchase.
