I sure love those wheels! Especially seeing them on a 87-88 model! I am sad the tires cost so much. The ones in the picture look modified for sure.

You'd think he woul've used a pic of an '87 or '88 Bird with HIDs already on the car.

Yeah, that would be great, except the seller probably saved it to his server and uploaded it to Ebay from there.

Using one that actually had HID's was probably too much work, as I don't think many people have done that conversion, not to mention it would be almost unnoticeable unless the lights were on...Correct me if i am wrong though.

That is one sweet looking bird, but, it sure doesn't do much for selling Xenon lights.  There ain't none on it.  Could it just be, that they REALLY don't make them for Fox Birds?

I'm pretty sure that you can get 9004 Xenons. I think retro-solutions might sell them. I don't know if they're bi-Xenon, though, and I don't know what they would do to our housings. I have 4300K H3-mini Xenons in my aftermarket fog lights and they don't have any problems, but the housings are steel with glass lenses.

Edit: Here is what I found on their site:

35W: http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/the-149/DIGITAL-HID-XENON-CONVERSION/Detail

55W: http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/the-163/DIGITAL-HID-XENON-CONVERSION/Detail

From what I've seen from my 35W fog lights, I think the 55W ones would be WAY too bright.
