Hey PIMPle Head,
I have a jacket for you. I bought this back in 1996 at the spring Daytona 500 race that Karen and I went too. I am a huge Mark Martin fan. Well at least before he started driving a bow tie. It is virgin. I have never wore it. (***** ain't big enough) So I will give you this jacket to add your patches too free of charge. All you have to do is show at Stangstock 08 and put it on. It is a 42 regular. Should fit your 200 lb chunk ***!! Your drive is only 1/2 of the most of us. Here is a kicker for you!!!!!!!!

Darrell,
Go blue. It should look good.
Tom,
That article looks neat. For some reason I couldn't open all of the pics on my computer here at work.
STD,
Yes I got the HID's yesterday. Hope to do the install after work this evening. Nice looking kit.

Update on the HID install. They installed quite easily as Tom has said earlier. However as with most mods that I have done there is an issue. While the HID's work great my foglights do not. Not the stockers or the Roush fascia fogs. I think I know why but do not know how to fix. The wire harnesses in the kit only provides for one of the original headlite hookups which I assume is how the HID's get the signal to go to the high beams. Which works just fine. The drivers side original headlite wire has nothing to plug into. While I am sure this is screwing things up I don't know how to fix. Sent am email to the HID GUY to see what to do or what the fix is.
Okay have another update to my problem above. The HID guy gave me a phone number to a fellow named Oscar. I called him and he had no idea why they didn't work either except to say he has seen the computer get messed up or confused and suggested I unhook the battery for 10 minutes and reset the computer. And bingo. Everything is working fine now. The HID's are definitely brighter on the low beam setting. I can see maybe twice as far down the road now. So at first impression I am happy with the end results.

Scott just listened to your message......
Did you order the HID fogs too and if so is that what you're having problems with? Or are you saying that your factory foglights and Roush lights do not work as they are, now that you got the HID headlights installed?
If you don't have the foglight HID kit, then the only thing that I could think of is 1) either both factory headlght harnesses have to be plugged in for the fogs to work (however this doesn't make sense though, because it would seem that if you had a factory headlight fail that then none of your fogs would work) or 2) somehow a connection was unplugged or a fuse was blown.
