The Saleen HID's are only 899.99 for everything you need. Should probably just get them through the website below...

i dont understand why anyone would spend $900 plus on the saleen HIDs or OEM HIDs.
IMO the saleen and OEM kits arent that much better then Silverstars which u can get for like $50 and all you have to do is replace a bulb!
The aftermarket conversion kits are cheaper and produce a more distinctive light.

Ahhhhhh... Well I know the set I bought came with a relay... I can't imagine any of them not having a relay included... It's actually a pretty nicely put together kit with all weatherproof connectors and that plastic harness stuff over all the wiring...

Even though you have the relay you still have done nothing for the glare and I can guarantee you don't have a clean cut off like you should with HIDs and the lights is just going everywhere. Which actually takes away from it. Sure it may be bright and purple and all, but it's still not the way it should be.
See the picture below... The top picture is what you get with a conversion. Crap light discharge. The bottom picture is what you get with true HID setup. Nice clean focused light.
You guys can argue with me all you want... But all you have made a case about is price....

Yeah I'd say price is a pretty big deal myself... And seeing that I don't have mine installed yet to compare how the coated bulbs actually work, I'd say it's kinda pre-mature for anyone to say... I mean unless you have the set that I bought installed in your car...
And the pictures up there are also of 2 different color bulbs... I went with 6000k which is a more true white with the slightest start of a hint of blue but nowhere near as blue to purple as an 8000k bulb
boozshey, do you have the ford factory ones or the saleens installed in your car?

Neither... I think you fail to understand what I am saying here. No matter what color kit you have, no matter if your bulbs are coated or not coated. Reflection of light and the way light tavels is what I am talking about. Purple light travels the same as white light...
Price should be looked at when you want to purchase something, but when you buy something don't you want to do it the right way... I mean why not get carboard and make a new rear spoiler, it's cheaper...
