You should be able to install them yourself. Ive taken the front end apart before, I have no previous experience doing anything to cars and it was pretty simple to me. Youre switching out the whole housing, so its pretty much bolt in and connect some wires. Where did you find them and what was the price, if you dont mind me asking? (PM if youd rather not post.)

Thanks... might take advantage of this price.

And no, I cant remember any drilling required in the process.

Wow... Theyre just headlights!

But yeah, HIDs shouldn't be used with reflectors, which the Saleens are... Anyways, I bet theyll look great.

It's a whole unit. Remove and replace.

I know its a whole unit, I was saying ouch to the price. If they were projectors like HID is meant to be then it would be better... The Saleen's are sort of like the stock mustang headlights but with an HID kit plugged into it...

But whatever, if I had the money I'd probably just buy it anyways too.

Have you SEEN a Saleen unit? I have. In fact, I just looked again. Looks like a projector to me.

Link toSaleen HID's.
http://www.saleen.com/hid.htm



Up front are integrated turn signals along with available HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights. Featuring unique Saleen-designed headlamp assemblies incorporating the industry's first bi-functional Xenon/HID lamp, these lights use moveable light shield technology to achieve both high and low beam functions in a single reflector with only one HID light source.
HID headlights provide 40 percent more light in both low and high beam functions than conventional lamps. A high-performance sports car deserves high-performance lighting.

Three times more light, with 20% less energy, and last 10 times longer than standard halogen bulb.Expanded visibility producing brighter and whiter light than standard halogen bulbs. (see signs - markings - images sooner: react quicker).
Improved field of vision in distance and side illumination with uniform light coverage.
Consumes less power than traditional factory or aftermarket lighting, reducing load on the vehicle electrical system. - 35 watts produce 3200 lumens verses halogen at 55 (or greater) wattage producing 1000 lumens.
high tech appearance and performance from new technology which uses a single bulb for both low and high beam.
HID lights create light with an electric arc eliminating filaments and extending life expectancy 10 times normal halogen bulbs.
Certified compliant with all U.S./Canadian DOT requirements and SAE standards.
Package includes pair of complete replacement units (housing, lens reflectors and bulbs) with plug in harness and instructions.
