Default HID Lights

Anyone know where I can get HID lights for both the headlights and the fog lights? I know places that sell the HID's for headlights but I'm not sure if they work with fog lights as well...also I'm not sure if its possible to put HID's in the front blinker lights because I have clear fronts now and think it would look bad *** if all the lights in the front were HID.

Not sure about the fog lamps but you don't want to put HID's in the blinkers. They are not designed to be turned off and on frequently. They have a bit of a warm up period before they get to full brightness and it significantly shortens lamp life constantly switching them.

Saleen also makes a High/Low beam direct replacement for your driving lights. they are very trick. Haney motorsports sells them for $799. a little pricey but worth it. Bulbs and ballasts at other places will run at least $350, with saleen's you get the whole housing and still retain your high beam ability.

sorry for draggin up an older thread, but these Saleen replacements. are the HIgh beam's HID or are they still halogen?..
what is the read difference in the saleen kit vs just buying a H13 hi/how HID package?

The difference in the Saleen is the reflector is designed for the HID bulb's emission pattern. There are minute differences in the way the HID arc and a halogen filament emit light, but as you get farther from the light source the differences get worse unless you adjust the reflector/lens to compensate. The retrofits are generally designed pretty well and put the light source in more or less the right spot, but with greater output comes more stray light that wasn't a problem with the dimmer halogen output. This will likely be annoying to traffic even if they are not in the bright part of the beam.
