the closest thing i could find was a lincoln MK9.

"The face of the MK 9 incorporates an evolution of a Lincoln signature grille flanked by twin xenon gas discharge headlamps. The turn signal indicators are integrated into each lamp unit."

those lights are not the same as HID though.

I remember when I was buying my Explorer, I asked the salesman if I could get HID or xenon headlights for the truck and he said "What???".

lol....what's even funnier is that when i went to a Nissan dealer to check out the new Altima and Maxima, a salesman came to greet me, i pointed to the lights of the 02 Maxima and asked, "it has HID right?"( i knew it does but just making sure) and the salesman answered, "huh? yes it has foglights."

then i was like WTF r u talking about........i just left after i said "i'll think about it."

btw thx for you guys's information
