I want to put in new headlights and fog lights. Should I go with the smoked ones or stock ones? I included a pic of the front of car please let me know what you think?

i would go with the smoked healights/foglights especially with a black car, but if there not legal in your area it could just be an extra ticket or and excuse to pull you over.

Actually they are not street legal anywhere, they are tow the car on a trailer to the car show items.

It's just that some cops are more zealous to give tickets for those kind of things than others.

I have smoked on my car. No issues with anyone and inspector didn't even notice them when I got my sticker.

Light output sucks though...but I never drive my car at night anyway

I got pulled over today lol go figure so I asked the cop and he said in the state of Florida they have to be clear. If I do put the smoked ones on he said I run the risk of getting a ticket for it. He said they are not legal. So I guess I will go with the clear ones. Where is the best place to get stock? Are the lights same for gt and cobra?

I just ordered a set of ultra smoked headlights, but they have not been installed yet. I don't know if they are legal here in Texas or not. I guess I will find out soon. I also considered the ultra clear.

I got mine from latemodelrestoration.com their customer service has been excellent. 87-93 LX, GT and Cobra Mustangs all have the same headlights.
