I am considering upgrading the halogen headlights in my 1994 Mark VIII. I have looked into two options. 1) Higher performance halogen bulbs; such as Slyvania Silverstar or Silverstar Ultra. They run about $38 a pair. 2) Halogen to HID conversion "plug-n-play" kits. Run about $100 or so on Ebay. I noticed the HID conversions are for low beams only. What's the deal with that?
Anyone have some recommendations on either option? What kind of luck have you had with these? I am really interested in the HID conversion kit but will consider the Silverstar option too. Would the Silverstar bulbs; being brighter (and possibly hotter) damage the reflector? I understand the headlight fixtures degrade over time. On the HID color temp, I would probably stay around 6000K.
Thanks, Fife
