OEM HID VS Saleen HID...

Rollin Thunder · 10-13-2009, 02:24 AM

So I found a mustang gt closer and also an 09 instead of an 08, But it does not have HIDS. I have been reading on here and find you can add OEM HIDS. Please dont try and convince me on the aftermarket ones. I have them in my silverado now, and its ok, but Im fully prepared to pay 900-1000 for HIDS. As I feel they are they best 1. because their legel and 2 they will provide the best beam paddern since the headlamp is designed for the arc of the HID headlamp. So Which one is better. IS fords OEM one or the saleen one better, I notice the salleen shield looks different from the ford one. Would anybody be willing to post pics for me?

Thanks a bunch guys.

I would go with the Saleen HIDs, though I can't comment on the quality between the two. But IMO, the Saleen shield looks better, sleeker, than the Ford OEM HID's. The Ford one's look like they're giving you the bird.

Saleen ones look better and I have a few threads I will link that seem to be the way to go....much more light output then stock halogen. The OEM ones cost a little more 1000 bucks thru steeda. 800 for the Saleens

They are probably very similar in light output, although I think they may use different HID bulb types, but I'm not sure.
