Sorry to get off subject, but does anybody know when the 08's are going into production? Any Rumors? I hope its next June!

 

I don't like the chrome buckets. Glad I got my Saleen HIDs!

 

Most likely they are the same ones Saleen is using. I'm sure Ford probably created a more OEM style harness. Ford logos are stamped all over my Saleen lights. Most likely they will be in the same price range. I really enjoy mine but they do make my fogs look dim, even with Silverstars.

 

Chrome buckets are way too Pimp-Daddy for my tastes. Perhaps it's just a bit of a matte silver trim ring around the light proper rather than the full-on Bubba's House of Bling chrome bucket treatment. (J2Snoop -- nudge, nudge....)

HIDs would be a great functional addition, always nice to see well at night, especially for those of us who frequent deer-infested areas.

 

Chrome buckets, YGTBFSM.

 

The stock saleen HID's are really growing on me

 

they are great

my pic is just after they are turned on, so they are more blue. as they warm up, they go very white...love them

Back yonder in time, the new models started coming out in the latter half of the year. Sometime in the 80's when GM started missing model years they started intro'ing them in the early part of the year. Other OEM's followed and screwed up everything.

If these lights are going to be on the 08 MY my guess is they will interchange physically, the wiring will be another issue.

I have gone back to the stock hdlights from the projectors and miss the add'l light. Just can't seem to cough up the price of the Saleen's.

I'll find some SilverStar's are some such and try them B4 buying the HIDS.

I used an 80/120 in my Monte Carlo SS and they lit up the night. Didn't need any other lights when those were on.

 

UPDATE!

I believe the HID's Ford will be Using are Indeed Saleen Style!

Any idea if these new headlights are also going to include the LED light system Ford has been testing? They are the ones that light up the turn when you are turning your steering wheel, to mimic the moving headlights on other companies models.

 

Can't really see that making it into this generation of Mustang.

 

Shelbys Now Listing HIDs for 08!

 

'08??? Needs to come out for '07...I can't wait another year for my Mustang.

 

How much $$ and how easy is it to steal? The reason I ask is that recall the Nissan Maximas that had HIDs stolen within 30 seconds.

I'm actually anxious to get LED headlamps. Waterproof, vibration resistant, and will outlast the car.

 

The headlights are held in by four bolts. To access the bolts you need to remove the front bumper and grille assembly of the car. They are NOT going anywhere.

Trust me when I say that if someone is stealing your HIDs that will be the least of your problems.

 

How much farther do the Saleen HIDs illuminate? How do they look in inclement weather (lots of rain with street lamps flooding the street with light)?

 

I would say that the Saleens don't illuminate "farther" so much as "better". Signs, street paint, reflectors all stand out much better than with the stock lights.

They don't look any different in wet conditions.

 

Interesting. I would have thought the Saleen HIDs would give that same piercing glow like the Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes.

Do we have to do the relay/wiring upgrade for the S197 lighting systems? The wiring diagrams seem to indicate the low beams are controlled by the smart junction box's low current board, while there are switching relays for the high beams and fog lamps. Daniel Stern thinks those are now power relays, but they're located in the power distribution box. I'm thinking the S197's don't need any wiring/relay upgrades and just need a good pair of H13 bulbs.

Dan Stern recommends Sylvania XtraVision H13XVs.
Has anyone checked the rated lifespan on the SilverStar H13s and H10s?
