A lot of companies are selling "HID" clone bulbs, but the are not true HID. If you are just looking for blue headlights then go with the APC od PIAA tinted bulbs. You can change to "HID" type bulbs all you want. The $20 look a likes are just that, they look like them. Yes you can install them yourself. There are no real drawbacks. A true HID Xenon system upgrade costs well over $1000.00. I think the PIAA kit is around $2500.00. A true HID bulb turns on with 20,000 + volts and operates on 85 volts. You can buy the factory SAAB parts, but it is VERY costly. I priced them a few months ago for a customer of mine and each headlight asymbly was about $800.00, plus the $245.00 bulbs/w transformers. Then you have to get them installed and calibrated by a SAAB tech with a $3000.00 machine. And you still need more parts then that, like the car angle sensors and wire harnesses.
