Smoked headlights

[FVEOH69]

I have a 2012 black GT with stock headlights(not HID). I came across these and i think they are new. They are regular Headlights but are smoked out. You choose your bulb. I was thinking silverstar ultras. Not only to increase visibility but I think they look cool. I cant find pictures on a mustang, but what do you think? Cheapest i found was about $170 for the pair.

Cheap headlights normally fit cheap or leak.....just a thought

will prolly get moisture inside, and turn yellow quick.
they will look good for a couple weeks.... if you dont break the cheap plastic tabs while installing.
i plan on doing a halo install on my factory light.
you have to put them in an oven to weaken the glue. split in half. then i was gonna do tthe black out of the chrome and install halo's

You can order vinyl from bigwormgraphix.com for the headlights. That's what I have.

do they shine tru good??

You can find them on ebay for 150 shipped. I've been debating these for a couple months. Just can't bring myself to be a guinea pig for something insignificant when I'm trying to get my car track worthy for the end of april...

It's not bad. They have different levels of darkness that you can get.

I think this is the route I'll go. Pity they don't learn to smoke from factory a la 2000 to 2001 GTs

I have these on my car now and they deffinitley decrease your vision at night. But they do look good and are pretty near perfect fit.

I feel the same, All these aftermarket headlight assemblies look rice. The OEM is way to expensive. These might be worth a try.

Thanks, I just saw that on Ebay! I may have to be the guinea pig. Since there not HID, i really dont see a concern about them lasting. They reuse all factory wire harness and whatever bulb you put in there. Only like someone mentioned before about moister? $150 shipped might be worth a try and il keep my receipt and box just in case haha.

if i dont like how they look on the car ill either use some precut tint kit or just buy those hard plastic covers.:beer:

I actually think the lights look pretty nice, but quality will be the culprit. Might not be a bad idea to run a fresh bead of silicone around the housing seam before installing to cut down on any poor bonding areas letting moisture in. I like the fact they look factory minus being smoked and have a clear reflector.

There are "Ricey" aftermarket options out there when it comes to headlights, but I loathe the stock non-HID headlights I have. After much research and deliberation, I decided to go the Raxioms and HID conversion from Stangmods....I don't think they are as Ricey as some of the others, and I will not be hooking up the 3 led's in each assembly...I think that is what makes them rice.

When my retro-fit was getting done i did something similar. It looks good, but i have a projector in there.
