If you are shopping at Advance, the part number is H13STTWIN which gets you a pair. I got mine there today, by next day order from the distribution center. They aren't selling them by the each (yet).

Sorry guys one more question.

Is everyone paying $20.00 each?
Autozone in Michigan wants $19.98 for each headlight and each foglight.

Just wondering

Thanks

Thats what I paid today. I went with the 9005 fogs. They are bright. Nice white light. You can really tell a difference when you are next to a car without them.

Yep. That's the going rate... it's kind of harsh but, well worth it.

I'm still holding out for the Saleen kit though... trying to be patient.

OK, I had purchased the 9145 ST recently in the fog housings but after a few days I decided to try out the 9005 ST.

I figured I really don't take the truck out at nights too often, so therefore, the bulbs will last me some time. Plus, I figured I can hold onto the 9145 ST should the 9005 ST blow out on me whilst driving.

Is there a difference? Good God YES!

They are a LOT brighter and, to some degree, if the height of the fogs are not adjusted properly, they appear to over-ride the head lights. Just about every oncoming vehicle flashed me on the short trip home a couple of nights ago. I droped the height of the fogs at home [level surface] considerably and took the truck back out for a brief trip. Same thing. At least every other oncoming vehicle was flashing me this time. I parked the vehicle on a dark back [industrial] road, left it running with lights on and walked ahead a good 200-300 feet to try and see what oncoming vehicles were. I squatted down to about oncoming vehicle's ride height and had a look at my truck. It looked fine to me. What's up with that? Yes, it was bright but not blinding.

Also, what is the correct height/procedure in which to adjust the light's beam? How far should the vehicle be parked from a wall when determining the correct adjustment? How does Ford do it?

Any assistance would be a gem.

That sounds all most same as what happened to me, but I didn't have "everyother car" flashing me, but since a few. I am still a little puzzled by this, since I took the truck out on a back road one night and had my girlfriend drive the Focus out. Parked the truck and drove towards it from about 1/2 mile and I didn't notice anything that would cause the people to flash, other than the fact that the light is white and not "tan" like most vehicles. Otherwise it seemed fine to me...

It hasn't been released yet... word on the street is that it *may* cost the same as the Mustang kit -- which is $900.

Think Saleen would do a group buy?

$900 is an awful lot to pony up for an HID kit, I think. Then again, if they're the only DOT-compliant set out there, then they can set the market.

I'm happy with my H13ST and 9145ST's until I can find a willing taker for one of my kidneys.

Last night on the way back home from hunting, I came up on a car and it began to slow down. I had my new fogs and headlights in and they kept looking back at me so i cut out the foglights. They still continued to drive slow and look back, so I had to run just my fogs on the way back to town.


These headlights must be bright!!
