I was just about to ask Kevin the same thing.

How much? Tell us. C'mon. Be cheap, please be cheap.

I am Waiting For 08 Wiring Diagrams and Parts to Release. They May or may not be Identical to the Saleen Versions.

OMG that would be sweet, although for the Saleen people and all the people that purchased those kits may not like it. Would be nice to see something new though. either way I'm in for a set

Let's hope they are reasonably priced and won't require any significant modification of the car in order to work!

I have heard rumors that the hids will be saleen's setup, this rumor is from a while ago though.

As long as the silverstar bulbs are rated correctly for the application they shouldn't melt the wires, which might cause fire anyway.

Silverstars won't melt the wires.

They also don't look HID either - I found out the expensive way.

Just get real HIDs when they become available and don't waste time with Silverstars.

They don't melt the wires...and no, they don't look like HID's, but they are much brighter than the factory bulbs and much cheaper than HID's.

They were worth the money IMO and will hold me over for if/when I do this upgrade.

I wonder if they are doing bi-xennon, even the 5-series uses HID LB/Halogen HB, all Ford/Lincoln models do as well-all split into a 2 seperate section reflector.

Hid Lb

I am curious why some HID applications are for low beam only. Don'y you really need the improved lighting for HB situations?
