You know what think about Saleen.? Their car is ugly; the grill completely sucks. It looks like something a gay tennis dude would drive.
Now I like their supercharger which I had installed on my GT that looks 10000X better than the Saleen.
HID headlights are a pain in the *** to anyone who has to meet them. They throw off too much glare and also all of those weird rainbows and colors (purple) they emit because in instead of reflectors, they use refractive (I'll let you phigure out the physics on that one) elements in the lights.
The goddamn things need to be banned because they are a menance to good drivers on the highway. Guess what, I can see the road just as good with regular halogen headlamps just as good as you can with HIDs!

And you obviously have not seen properly installed HIDs.

This doesn't look blue to me.

Here is a glow discharge picture of Xe which is a primary component of these friggin HID lamps.
Now tell me the emission from Xenon is not blue! Physics & chemisty show you it is by the way!
Note the comment about them being blue:

However, HIDs are a major problem for drivers who are getting them blasted in their faces:

HIDs would be ok, if they used Kr instead of either Xe or Xe-Hg.
But of course, science & data doesn't mean anything to some of you....However, some of you men may be color blind as that is a sex related genetic abnormality that occurs only in men (Y-chromosome related).

Hey ricer, do us all a favor and stick with your regular lights. I am tired of those blue HID things blinding the pi$$ out of me at night.
I hope the damn NSTA outlaws these things!

I've been looking to get some bi-xenon HIDs for my 2005 mustang gt. I was wondering if you have them where did you get them. Also can I just put them into the stock headlight housing with no ill effects? Some people said that they will melt so I just want to make sure about these thing before I spend 400 or so dollars.
Thanks
