You guys know the Mach Edition Focus? How they have real HID lights? Well they're only $153 for each side, that includes the whole assembly, not just the light itself.

I couldn't believe it myself until I read this , it's real guys. Maybe some of you can start a new project and see how this turns out.

I mustve misread something because from what I saw its just the assembly itself for the $153 not the ballast nor HID bulbs. Anyways for that assembly it is extremly cheap.

Nope. $153 for the assemble, bulb, and ballast. I think it's a mistake, but they've been selling at that price for 2 months already.

sunny San Juan Bautista,
Hmmm, what would the SHO look like with the front end modified to take those headlight units? :) Could it be done true to the spirit in which all SHO work was intended? (That means cheap. The SHO spirit is cheap :D )

Hey if I can see K1500 Chevys with Corvette tails, anything can be done for the money but I'm not sure the looks would be there wink Best bet would be a custom job from a cut up headlamp to use all the parts much like Hermans HID lamps but as he stated on his sight its a **** of alot of tinkering.

Hmmm...if your right about ballast assembly and all, I could buy a few of these and sell the assembly dirt cheap, and sell the H7 HID's to other people wanting HID's with a nice profit. Unless it uses a Focus only ballast which wont allow it to be universal.

^^^I was thinking about the same thing. Just strip it and sell the bulb and ballast on Ebay. But I don't have the money to buy even a set :(

P.S. What happened to your SHO RI-SHO?

These ARE NOT HID SETUPS.

They are Halogen projector lens's... if you wanna piece together projector units in SHO housings, you should start with cheaper proj units.. I think someone was putting Infiniti proj units into his Gen 1 and got them for $20-30 each (2 hi beam and 2 lo beam)

Are you sure? All I've seen on that thread is the stock photo from Ford and a couple cars with them mounted up... I guess the ballast is mounted under the reflector housing. I can't believe that ford would sell an OEM HID projector setup for $300 for both sides. It costs $200+ a side for the headlight assy's for my Gen 2 from Ford.

I did check on the web and it seems that the press releases say this *IS* HID... I still find it hard to believe because aren't the OEM setups for other cars running at least $700 a side?

I was the person putting the Infiniti projectors it. I do like the price of those focus projectors WITH HID.

The thing is, my new audi 4000 quattro is much easier to retrofit headlights into. I completed the project in less then 10 hours total time. I wish the taurus headlights were that easy to work with.

Here's my audi:
