This model Saab did not, that's why we added aftermarket ones. But it is an option from the factory.

@FIFArock as long as their of descent quality it should be fine. Some cheaper eBay brand headlights can warp or distort occasionally and may let water in.

8000k, the 12k looks more purple ish when your driving and you really can't see anything cuz of how purple it is. Not very good for visibility.

[Fred07M6]

It's a Saab and it's an H7

[Fred07M6]

6k is ideal as far as having both color and good light output. But if your looking for more of a blue light go for 8k. Anything higher puts out less light and is more on the blue/purple side.

I will be putting up a new video soon of my new light set up in my Mazda 6. Custom LED tail lights, parking lights, 6k in the headlights and 4300k in the fogs.

[justintimesa]

Bought a hid kit with 6000k! can i fit 8000k or more with out changing ballasts?

[PhazonKing]

TOO bad that this is not legal :-( I *LOVE* XENON!

[RcSaabChevy]

on the saab, did the cr come stock with hid ballasts?

I want to buy new headlights for my truck but the specs say please use stock light bulb for installation.. I currently have the 8000k hid kit on my stock headlights. Will the new clear headlights melt or something? Or can they withstand the heat of the bulbs?
