New Headlights
 
Took the stock headlights off for the first time yesterday, and found cracks in the back, which explains the nasty look of the headlights. I don't even know how the previous owner managed to do that. But anyways, I'm looking to replace them soon, and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what would look best with a black car. I'd like a darker headlight, and have looked at them for hours, but I have no idea what they'd look like with the car. Any suggestions or pics you guys have would be awesome. Thanks!

No questions asked

Also good to get these signal bulbs

Gets rid of the amber reflection on the chrome backing in the lights when the sun is shining.

Makes any stang look better.

Too dark are you kidding? They look awesome on white and contrast the car well.

If your car already has black housings with the amber corners, these lights are exactly like those but with clear corners.

What about those lights would make it llegal? Abosoulutely nothing as long as you have the amber turns singnals then your fine. I have a set of silver star stealth bulbs. They dont have that yellow tint, but they light up amber when ever you put your signal on. Those would will look real sweet with those new headlights

My friend failed inspection with those headlights.

Ummm. I dont see why. U would think as long as you have the amber turn signal bulb that you would be alright. What state?

spike_africa 01-21-2008 06:53 AM

It doesn't have the yellow reflective part, thats why you fail.

PColav6 01-21-2008 07:11 AM

Just live in a free state, and then no worries about inspections.

That shouldnt matter as long as the bulb is the correct color.

Well i just ordered me some smoked headlights with the chrome/amber bulbs..and if i get pulled and i'm going to be heated! think i and everyone will be fine if your corner bulbs are amber in color..so cops can shove it! :cool:

TheSky'sTheLimit 03-03-2008 02:58 PM

i would personally go with the black angel eye LED headlights.....which can be found on american muscle.com

If inspection is an issue then just keep yer old ones and swap em out before ya go to inspect it. Takes what 5 mins to do both?
