Euro-style headlights, not rice!
I just came across this UK-based company: http://www.euromustang.co.uk/html/headlights.html
They produce Euro-spec headlight lamps for the S197 Mustang, with H4 bulbs and the "angel eyes" feature. They are a direct replacement for the stock lamps and from what I can see in the pictures, they don't look bad at all, either.
The H13 lamps are hard to find in EU and I've heard some people had problems with them. These lamps seem to be a very cheap (£177/set) alternative to HIDs, at least for my pocket.
I ordered a set and I will post pictures after installation, to get everyone's opinion. If I don't like the look, I'll change them back.

All said and done probably around $400 for a set to your door. THey do look great and it should be easy to find a H4 Bi-xenon kit to fit into those headlights. Unfortuantely after all that, these headlights will creep closer to the $800 Saleen's..

Headlights that not only work well, but offer a styling upgrade too
The headlights use the European standard H4 bulbs, and incorporate a defined cutoff as per European regulations (both left- and right-hand drive versions are available). They incorporate a subtle halo ring surround, which not only functions as the parking/sidelight, but also enhances the appearance of the car when lit.

I wrote an e-mail to the vendor from which I bought the lamps (http://www.performancelights.co.uk/index.aspx) to have this confirmed before shipping the headlights. I'll keep you informed once they reply.

Our headlights for the Mustang are for Right Hand Drive cars as is stated in the description of the product (RHD Only). We have already sent the item out
but we will do our best to recall it from the courier. If this is not possible you will have to send the item back when you receive it.
Kind Regards

Please keep us updated, as I would purchase the LHD version. I just found a Bi-xenon H4D set-up from Kaixen that is simply killer and I want to combine both the HID kit and these headlights.
