Want it!
If made in China, etc, by a really good manf(only way to keep costs affordable) designed to have the best possible output in terms of focus, aim, cutoff, etc....made from really good materials, HID of course and high and low beams, may as well as not that much more money, in all areas top quality, what would you be willing to pay?
If enough were wiling to commit to it, put at least a serious deposit down, I bet we can find somebody to do it. I would consider it but would have to have help in organizing it across all ST forums, keeping track of it all, etc...........
I have been upgrading stock headlights since the early 70's, really, lighting is an absolute key performance mod for night driving and safety.
An extreme example:
510 Datsun, winter mode, TD rallys, lots of back woods fun....replaced the stock 5" dual lights with quad high and low beam 7" euro spec Hella headlights and had two 7" fogs and two 7" pencil beams, big arse battery in the trunk and bigger alt. I could really see miles ahead with this setup and just as important see where I was going when sideways
In the summer mode, autocrosses, long days so less night driving, smaller battery and just the dual 7" high and low beams.
With really good projectors I have had great lighting with just the best bulbs in none HID systems, and when HID really not much you need to do.
I only had one car that had projectors in both positions and not stock HID but just good bulbs worked very very well.
Back to the main issue, if you really want these then make it happen, I am willing to help but have more than enough to do, that is how things work, we are the ones to create whatever we want

I want them pretty bad... I would love to make this happen but I know nothing about lighting and i have no money lol. I have determination however...If made in China, etc, by a really good manf(only way to keep costs affordable) designed to have the best possible output in terms of focus, aim, cutoff, etc....made from really good materials, HID of course and high and low beams, may as well as not that much more money, in all areas top quality, what would you be willing to pay?

Determination, a great thing to have, then you need to focus on the results you want, see it happening, take the appropriate steps and it will. Of course things need to be in proper perspective, something that can be done, etc....and their has to be a market if a business venture. Far to many go into business with all the passion needed but not enough of the reality in mind.
Something like this is not what I would start a business in, to many already doing it, I would help an established business make it happen or do it for the love and not the money, in fact I would not do anything in life for the money, it will come if you do the right thing and take care of everyone like they were your brothers and sisters, because they are.
This is coming from a guy that grew up on welfare, abused, abandoned, made many mistakes then finally had enough and created the exact wonderful life I have.

When do we start lol? Do you know a company that would do it? Or maybe there's someone with connections at Ford that can tell us more about them.
Ford, massively big and so many white shirts then can barely take a crap without asking...mostly, they are far more open in many areas, hence the ST. Nobody else in the US manf industry even comes close in or near this segment and that is from a guy that has had race and full out street Vetttes, tows with a Duramax dually...
I would be astoundingly happy if they would even talk to us and more so if listen and put in proper headlights in future production and also an afttermarket for us current owners. They have to spend millions to pass all the stuff they are face with so not likely but if they really want to own our business for good.......
For now, if we get enough seriously interested in this we can make it happen, there are several ways.

I would pay for those. I paid for the Sport appearance headlights for my SES, so I'm no stranger to pricey headlights. Our cars are fairly exclusive for the price and I don't mind making it a bit more unique. I just hope they make this an option so we can purchase them in the future. If not, what does a set of our lights cost? How hard would it be to modify? Beyond my ability and time to be sure, but what would it cost?

Well our current lights cost about $300 each from Tasca and Dirtyblueshirt got the euro lights for around £400 each I think... So similar lights plus time and fabrication could run quite a bit...

The concept headlights are what I am basing my HID projector retrofit. Only a few more weeks until Sickhids.com is done. I got an extra set of OEM headllights for $250.00.
