I was looking into getting some new lights for my 02 GT because the stock ones are a little dim. Those Xenon lights are looking nice and I was wondering if anyone had heard anything good/bad about them. I was told that I would have to upgrade my wiring harness because the brighter bulbs will melt the harness, is there any truth to this? Also, where would be a good website to price such bulbs?

Depends on which bulbs you get. If you go to www.showparts.com they have a nice kit for the mustang which includes 2 Xenon bulbs for the headlights and foglights for 28 bucks. A pretty good deal

My friend had PIAA's in his Grand Am then went to Silverstar's. He said the Silverstar's were brighter, didn't cost $40 a bulb, and didn't break every month. PIAA
Silverstar's are stock wattage.

not a flame , just a question.
why do you want brighter lights, I have no problem wit hstock. Is it for you to see better oer do some do this for cosmetic reasons?
I have clears on the front and installed chrome turn sig. bulbs for cosmetic reasons, but didn't change headlight bulbs.

I bought these lights: http://www.showparts.com/product_info.php/products_id/227?osCsid=cf38fb48df4b71db8e93eb11fdfb9e4e
I had them in my car for roughly 6 months. One day I was driving home at night and all of a sudden none of my lights worked. No Head or Fog lights at all. When I got home I took out one bulb and noticed that the harness was melted. Then I took out the other and noticed the same thing. Took it into Ford a couple of days later, and they told me that you need to upgrade to a different harness voltage. They replaced both of mine under warrenty. Do yourselves a favour, if you upgrade your lights, upgrade your harnesses. An electrical fire is far more expensive then a higher voltage harness!

My Silverstars are plenty bright and they're stock wattage. My headlights have been great for the past 2 years, my fogs just died. I think it was from driving through NY though, freaking pot holes everywhere. 
I haven't called Sylvania yet but I'm pretty sure they'll replace them for free.

Oh, I just got an email from Sylvania today (I bought my fogs online through them)
$5 rebate on a pair of fog/head/signal lights.
