I'm debating on what set of headlights i should get, i have these 5 choices:

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-37908452539988_1985_93213732


I'm liking the #2 set... but have no idea how it'll fit with my stang, picture here:


I like the black evil look so going for smoked one would be badass don't you think ?

So anyone with similar tinted headlight go ahead!

Merci.

Not tech - moved to talk.

If you're going for the smoked look, numbers 2 and 4 look best. I like the look of a crystal clear lens, too, so number 5 grabs my attention as well.

They're probably not legal being tinted either. If you toss an amber bulb in them, they should light up the correct color. They don't appear to have any reflectors in them either, on the legal aspect.

looks like #2 and #4 are the same headlights, just from different distributors, maybe..

i'd definitely vote for either of those two.

#1 is too close to stock... #2 looks like they are the best choice IMO. I have #5 on my car, but wish I would have gone with smoked!

I lost almost all my pictures in a HD crash, so these are the only pictures I have left of my black car with smoked headlamps... They're the diamond cut smoked from 50resto

Sorry for the quality...




I've got them in my Cobra now.. Lovem to death.

I miss my Trans Am.....

Never been a fan of the all-black theme. I would go with the Cobra style ones in #3, except that those orange refelctor things inside are ugly.

They have the same part number so I'm guessing you're right. #2 is $20 cheaper. Oh and BTW, #2 FTMFW!!

I have the Black Beauties from 5.0 resto (#2). I didn't like them, so I polished my stockers and put them back on. The corners on the black beauties are weird looking in person....that 'frosted' sort of edge around the corner is much more noticeable in person. They almost don't match. It's a shame because the headlights are awesome looking, but the corners suck. Also the quality is garbage. I've tried everything to keep the corners from fogging up. I did modify the corners so that frosted ring isn't as noticeable, but it still looks weird to me.

The lights you have for #4 aren't the same as #2. #4 is the blue oval industries smoked style. The actual lens is smoked whereas #2 the housing is black and the lens is clear. You can find the #4 headlights on ebay for 120-130 bucks shipped.

Shipping to Canada kills the deal.

They don't have an orange reflector... It's the law here too, but generally not enforced.

If it's enforced there, I'd probably just get some cobra headlamps and run stock corners with them. That's what they did in the Cobras.
