Aftermarket headlights: Pros and Cons

They all suck though. I don't drive in the rain, but just washing my car caused these to fox up a tiny bit. I've seen the 6-peice from a few vendors and am convinced they are all made by the same supplier since they have the same "Don't touch this" yellow sticker on the top

Some NOS headlight parts do pop up

Talk thread if I ever saw one.

When I bought the vert project, the headlights were yellowed so bad I don't know how any light would've gotten through. Since it was meant to be a project for the wife and I, I let her choose the parts for it. She chose the wheels that are on it as well as the headlights. I don't mind the look of these one pieces that much, but the seals ARE crap in them. The car has basically been sitting since I bought it and when we divorced she let it sit outside uncovered. The passenger side has probably 1/4"-1/2" of water sitting inside of it. But these are what she chose, you can see them on the car in my sig.


Now since I got the car back I've started squirreling parts away. I come across a Craigslist ad from a guy over on Corral who was liquidating his Fox parts. Among other things he had was a brand new 3 piece set which he sold to me for a VERY good price. I haven't taken them out of the box yet, but if memory serves these are basically what they are. I think they might be a little better looking than the one piece, but time will tell....


Now with all of that being said, buy what you like - it's your car, make it yours!!

I had the 6-piece smoked. I liked them a lot but had to ditch them due to issues during inspection time.

You guys have no idea how glad I am that I have a 4-eye.

I am a verified hater of Aero-Nose after-market headlights... Period and Dot.


When the Aero-Nose first came out, I loved it. I was soooooooooo relieved that they didn't 'screw up' the Fox Body with something that looked stupid.

Then the after-market 'crap'... [years] of it.

The first set of after-market headlights to come out that didn't totally suck were the "Diamond Clear" 3-piece. Then, the newness of those wore off and the smoked headlights were all the rage.

After that the posts about "How I wished I'd kept all my OEM stuff". LoL

I lost a perfectly good 1986 OEM hood for no damned good reason

Anyway... Any of you yahoos still thinking about swapping OEM lights out for some other 'yuk'... Keep your originals even though you can now get mad money for them.
