Hey all, I am new here to the forum and just picked up a '93 GT. I am looking to do a one piece headlight kit on the car. I have the performance where I want it at this point, except for gears, but I am just looking to spice the exterior a little more, than just putting new shoes on her.

Question I have, are there any one piece headlights that fix well on the fox's? I have seen some on ebay, and there is a gaudy gap between the hood and inner signal. Anyone know of a brand or where I could get some? I am either looking for Crystal one piece, or black housing one piece.

Thanks in advance,
Husker

Best place to find one piece headlights is the trash, lots of people throw them away cause they're ugly and fit like ****.

But if you love how they look by all means go for it. Its your car and do whatever you have to to make it "yours" and dont let anyone tell you otherwise, just know 99% of people here are going to make fun of you.

Shaolin, I could care less if anyone makes fun of my car or not, but if they fit like crap, I will sell them to the next person who wants to try them lol. Reasoning I am seeing if there are any that fit like OEM headlights.

Thanks for your input, I am just looking for something to clean up the front end a little (corners heads and inner lights) mainly. If you have any suggestions on where to buy individuals, I am always open for references and opinions.

They're all the same and fit like a french bikini on rosie o'donnelle and barely last long enough to make it seem like a good idea.

One piece, Gawd No!

Nice clean new 6 piece = greatness! Can't go wrong with stock or close to stock. I'm more impressed with "like new" stock pieces than some cheap aftermarket crap...

I'm with you HuskerNation. I want a different look but I want better light too.
One way I was looking at is the HID with PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS but I have not seen any thing I like yet. One I sort of like it this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/87-93-FORD-...pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
Yes it is not a projector head light but it looks ok. I want better lighting with out blinding the other cars. I have seen a fox mustang with HID in stock head light and it is vary bad for the other cars. So dose anyone have suggestions for high power head lights?

I am about as recent as anyone having experience w/ these one piece "projector" headlights.

Despite my advice, My son wanted something different for his 93, and chose those very lights from Brothers Performance. I don't remember exactly how much they cost, but it was between 150-200 for the pair.

What flaming pieces of crap they were. He wanted them, so I had to make them fit. Ended up cutting parts of the old headlight support to clear the back of the bulbs. After installing them, there is no way to aim the pieces of crap. And the wiring that had to be done to splice them into the existing harness?........ Gives new meaning to Chinese Jug F**k.

As far as them being "projectors"? They did help him to see the brick mail box he ended up hitting last month better. ( That is, just as he was looking up from texting his girlfriend) I found it ironic that the one piece headlights he had to have ended up in a hundred pieces 2 weeks later.

Yeah going one piece projectors was not my way of thinking. I think projectors are gaudy on muscle cars, or mustangs in general. Not my style.

88Top, I am sure they have an HID conversion (with the projector shrouds) somewhere in a 6 piece. If I find anything I will post. Whatever you do, don't do HID's without a shroud. Light will go everywhere and be an issue to your fellow drivers.

Thanks for all your inputs and I am glad I didn't waste my money buying some one pieces. I like the cleanliness, but if they are that bad, I am not looking to experience the frustration myself.

88Top, here you go for a reference for your statement earlier.
Look at the picture and you will see projectors are not that good looking on these cars...

repop lenses do have bulb shrouds FYI, i dont blind people at all with my 5k kit, light pattern is very directed and no one has ever flipped their brights at me, truck is a different story.


6 piece all the way imo.

1st Option
2nd Option

These are my two options right now, or I am going crystal ultra clears. Not exactly sure what I want to do right now.

I have a set of one piece headlights I'll let go for next to nothing to anyone wanting to try them. They're the smoked kind. They came on my roller and I prefer the stock look.

Go with option 1. I got a buddy with those on his silver notch. They look great, plus you can wire in a DRL.
