It's time for new headlights, my '98's are yellowed both inside and outside. While doing research, "using search" on this net I have noticed several patterns of thought regarding the subject.

1) HID - Too technical for me I think. Supposedly the brightest.
2) Halo - Looks cool but not that bright. Expensive.
3) Clear Cobra's (To include diamonds, etc...) - What I'm leaning towards.
4) Stockers - Forget it, aftermarkets are too much and "it's a V-6")

If ANYONE has any pics of their stangs with the first 3 choices above please load so I can see. I would also like to know of those 4 choices what you would choose (considering a budget of NO MORE than $250.00). Also I would like to know how bright over stock the first 3 lights are...(I know that this is subjective due to the different types of bulbs but a comparative estimate would be appreciated).

THANK YOU for your help.

Smoked lenses. Personally, I like dark colors, red and smoked lenses would look good IMO.

I got some head lights off eBay. They are projector style. Major difference in brightness. I bought some of those blue style bulbs. I think they suck.
