2011 - 2012 Mustang GT Coupe with HID?
 
I'm thinking of an '11/12 Mustang GT Coupe (not convertible) for the Spring.
I know they come in automatic, but what about HID or Xenon headlights?
I'll probably go Ford CPO.

I don't like these beady little lights they now use in higher-end
cars. They create an off-proportioned look to cars that rows of
accessory LED's don't make up for.

Thanks? I think.

You need to try led lights as they save power

I heard some of these headlights cost $500 apiece, and have an electronic
module on them.

That would be the leveling device.

HIDs are expensive option new so I don't think they are on too many
cars. Finding an HID car on the used market could be tricky.

Correct.
I don't have a problem spending money on something that is of good
quality and produces a better result.
I've been driving with Xenon/HID for the past ten years and I love it.
I'm pretty dead set on a Mustang GT, so if I can't find one with HIDs
then I just have to live without them.
I work for a Ford dealer so I'll have to get some of our buyers to start
looking around the end of February.

Unless you are a country bumpkin, you don't need the output they
produce. Cities are well-lit. The only good thing is the colour
temperature, bluer than the yellow of the old lights.

That is 200% incorrect. HID lights are *much* brighter and that
helps you see better no matter where you are and they use a lot less
power. Regular low bean halogen is 55 watts, HIDs are 35 watts. As
someone who has used conversions and owned cars that came with HID
lights, IMO they are worth the upgrade other peoples MMV according to
the cost and what they are willing to spend.
