id go with the smoked but might not be the best idea if you plan on driving at night. i had to get an HID kit just to see more than 15 in front of my car after getting smoked headlights. i have the ones from blue oval industries 1987-93 Mustang 6 Piece SMOKED Headlight Set at Blue Oval Industries for your Ford Mustang @ Blue Oval Industries

Clears all the way!!! Both would look good on your white fox, but clears would look really clean and apparently you can see better with them which is all the more reason to go with em!

I like the smoked but if had to much of an impact on lighting I would just go clear.

Smoked looks sooo much better than clear IMO.. But like NYR923 said, they make lighting terrible. I just deal with it because I don't drive my car too often, but if it is a DD you may want to look into HIDs or clear headlights..

I really like the clear but hate the 3 lines going across the three lights. I cant see them on the smoked. Does that bother anyone else?

Horizontal lines seemed to be casted into the clear lenses.

i went with the regular smoked lenses last pair of headlights, and they were so dim, that i retrofitted projectors...

it made me mad at first, but then they looked so good... it's a tough choice...

i'll let you guys know which one i pick.

IDK i'd usually say clears, but with your black trim i think the smoked might actually look alright.
