I have the 2 piece projectors and I'm getting kinda annoyed by them now. I need something a little darker like the black housing 1 piece projectors.

I also was thinking about getting a set of those 1 piece black headlights. How do projectors light up the road? Good, bad, same as stock?

These black housing JDM lights i got are much brighter than stock headlights.

Nooooooooooo...

I think Eades can back me up on this...I run the projectors and at first I thought they were cool...but now I hate them. The lighting with my projectors AND silverstar bulbs is worse than the stock cobra lighting...They also fit like crap, and if the projector lenses are aimed right..then the high beams are aimed skyward. IMO stay away from em. If worse comes to worse I already have a set of smoked ultra clears on their way so I'll have these projectors sitting here serving no purpose here's what they look like on mine...

Edit: Jumped the gun there...Mine are the APC ones, I can't vouch for the one piece ones.

It seems that everyone agrees. Stay away from projectors. They suck and i along with most think they look like ass. Get some cobra head lights smoked or not smoked and call it a day.

95strokerPSU is the only one i know who has bought the ONE piece projectors and he really digs them, and his car looks badass... it was in a thread a few days ago, i'll see if i can locate.

with the corner lights fogging up, just rip off that rubber thing and glue it (after you dry it out).

EDIT: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=514717
here's that thread where 95strokerPSU talks about his 1 pc lights.

Yeah I love my projector headlights. I don't care if some people think they only belong on imports, cause I think they look great on my car. Here's some more pics...





And they go great with my tinted tail lights...

I have the 1 piece black projectors and to me they don't look strange on the car. If I can aim them properly then I can live with the way they look. With the headlights on you don't really notice halo rings and you have the option not to wire them up.

that would be cool.

have you or 95strokerPSU noticed if the rubber liner on the corner of the housing is quality or a POS like most other cobra corners?
