Best place I found was Ebay. I kow you said you looked but that was the cheapest I found. Mine are one-piece all the way around, clear lenses, black insides, and have angel eyes. They were like $130 with shipping included.

But if you compare the overall cost to what other places are charging for headlights these still come out less. I think $130 for a pair of headlights is a reasonable deal. Even if the headlights were $125 with $15 S&H it would result in the same price.

Well I paid 250 for my headlights here in town, but I think off of CJ pony parts you could buy them for 230 with free shipping.

I like it....I'm the one driving it. Perfect room for my intercooler. And if anyone knows anything about lift and propelled aerodynamics...the more air you can push around your car and over the top, instead of underneath it, the more stable the car becomes...which equals better handling and a little better acceleration. Those short little stock front ends just slow you down and disrupt handling, not to mention very heat restrictive. Car isn't all "Grrrr....Ohhhh....Ahhhhh...American Muscle!!!....Anything that doesn't look like everyone elses mustang is stupid!!" I drift as much as I drag race so I have developed a liking to cetain JDM stuff.

But yeahhhh....besides that...ebay is great for headlights......LOL

I don't personally like the kit either, but it's his car, and as long s he likes it that's all that matters. Don't disrespect a mans car like that, I'm sure you wouldn't like it done to you dude.

Hey dropped....don't really appreciate the gesture. I've never jumped on your back and said shit to you. Wasn't aware people on this site had to stand to anyone's expectations. Your input has been noted, and for the record, if you decided to make a descision on your car I would never critisize your judgement. And sorry Dragonfreak for any screwing up of your thread...

I heard 99% of aftermarket 1 piece headlights don't fit correctly. Some trimming of either the housing or the fender is necessary. Any truth to that? I'm asking anyone like Anglico - who has them on their car. And Anglico - your bumper looks WAY better than that of the stock V6 & GT bumpers that ford put on their 94-98 mustangs. Though Cobra bumpers FTW lol.

I ordered mine off of UPR, but I was really new to the car and I paid more than I should have.

If your looking for the BLACK BEAUTY style headlight, here is a link to Latemodel Restoration:

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...-KIT1&comp=LRS

Now, I know eBay is awesome, I use it consistantly too. However, I DID NOT use it for my headlights. I've heard of issues with fitment and quality on eBay. The only seller I would go to is blueovalindustries for lighting on eBay. My 96 Crystal Clear Cobra Fog Lights fit like they were from the factory. I've only heard good things about the headlights also. (Great prices, you can grab the SMOKED headlights in multiple styles for under $170 shipped.)

All I was trying to say is that a little more tact wouldv'e been cool bro. But anyways, no big deal and no hard feelings.

96Snaker - The lights should fit fine. I have seen some that were a tight squeeze but fit none the less. Mine fit fine but there is a tiny gap in between the bottom of the lights and the front bumper but the still look fine. And yeah, the Cobra bumpers are NICE! I was going to get one but wanted the most flow I could get to my intercooler (Turbocharging the 'stang later this year) without remodding it later one so I went with this one.
