I have an '88 gt, already have clear side markers, relatively new front lenses but they're stock type, stock bulb.
I see a lot of new "projector" looking front lenses with hid/LEDs?
Even saw some with the colored rings in daylight that didn't look as tacky as it sounds.
But, I see a lot that are too bright so I'm sure a lot of you guys on here probably have some input and or recommendations on this topic as I'm late to get into these (it seems everyone but me around here has them) so I figure some have ones they love and some people ones they hate, certainly I'd think so from what I've seen there are so many all of a sudden!
I don't want to buy any that are tacky or too bright, but I do kinda dig em.
Thanks fellas!!

Just keep the stock headlights, they adjust pretty easy, work well and are reliable (reliable as in don't usually fill with water).
If you change them, you will probably do like the rest of us do eventually, put the stock ones back in.

LRS stock style is what I put on to replace the ones that had water. I could not find room in the seam to use sealer like the posts reccomend. They adjust and point like new. I am happy. I might put clear corner with yellow bulbs in, but that would be it.

I have aftermarket w/clear side markers but they're made/look same as stock. I don't think they're Ford ones though.
They look fine but I kinda like the led/hid look on a few that I've seen.

I'm sure your probably right though, maybe I'll leave well enough alone for now.
I appreciate input guys.

Keep the headlights stock-looking. These are 25-30 year old cars now. No need to make them look like spaceships with the weird headlight styles out there today.
