Arrrrrghhhh....

Saleen's website is listing HID headlights for $899.

I paid $1099 for the bastages (from Saleen) this past summer.

:bang:

:bang:

Good for you people that haven't gotten them yet. Bad for me!

You are awesome! Thanks for posting. I ordered a set 3 weeks ago and they haven't shipped yet due to inventory delays. I'm going to make them give me the discounted price.

Just got mine installed. They rock, but they'll make your foglamps look even bigger.

I drove her to work today!

The boost kicks in right around 2500 rpms will be nail you to your seat! I haven't been able to really get on it yet until Doug tunes it on Saturday at Walker Dyno.

I have a lot more stuff to do with $899 than lights I came to that conclusion as soon as I got to the site a while back.

Anyone have a pic with the lights installed so I can see what they look like next to the fog lights?

I could run upstairs and snap a pic or two, but fogs are tinted with Harman's ShowLenses. I don't think you'd get the full effect.

$899.00 Is Cheap if it Helps Prevent an Accident. I have Poor Night Vision and anything to help is money well spent for me. BTMO

I just want to know if they will fit the Shelby. I know the facade on the front slants more but are the housing for the lights different?

I would love to add these to my car, but not inclined to rush out and buy them now to find they don't fit.

I think $699 would be my breaking point. At $899.00, I still have some willpower left. Still it beats the heck out of $1099

At that price, I just orded my set. For the additional visibility and safetly, it is worth it to me. Thanks for letting us know!

Be prepared to wait awhile. I ordered mine on 1/10/06 and they still haven't shipped yet.

Not too worried about the wait for these, from what I understand they are worth it. Since you should receive your first, let me know when they arrive and how the install goes.

Maybe these threads should be combined?
