head lights

therapist · January 21st, 2007, 02:36 PM

my dad doesnt want me to keep the black out covers on my headlights cuz he doesnt think its safe. so i can either take them off and hope the old ones dont look bad or buy new ones from americanmuscle for like 250$. do u think the stockers look ok. they were really streaky before on the outside. is there anything i can use to clean the plastic better?

black headlight covers are not safe? lol

texas_mustang · January 21st, 2007, 06:33 PM

get some projectors

White99stang · January 21st, 2007, 06:49 PM

projectors are for rice, just buy some 02-04 headlights from ebay for 160 bucks, i did that for christmas and they look great.

texas_mustang · January 21st, 2007, 08:01 PM

projectors arent rice. chrome headlights are rice

neckbonekat · January 22nd, 2007, 03:08 AM

Projectors aren't rice. People need to stop calling everything they disagree with rice.

You can probably get healight much cheaper on ebay. Your father has a point that the plastic blackout covers do block a lot of the light coming from the headlights. They are illegal in NYS. If you want a cheap way to keep the same look, try looking into tint film. Blocks far less light but still gives your headlights that tinted look.

ok i will just say projector lights look like shit.

MSTGGT00 · January 22nd, 2007, 03:39 AM

Psssht. Kittens are rice. Damn things.

Okay. Anyway.

Projectors look horrible on a stang.

neckbonekat · January 22nd, 2007, 04:02 AM

I disagree. Projectors can look really good on a Stang. Just don't get chrome ones. I'm not into my Stang looking like eveybody elses. If you want it to look original try the projectors. At least you know it won't look like guys on here. LOL

MSTGGT00 · January 22nd, 2007, 07:18 AM

Smartass. xD

SWEET2KSTANG · January 22nd, 2007, 08:34 AM

i thought about projectors too but after seeing the chrome and black ones on mustangs around here i quickly changed my mind. i got the charcoal lights with the clear sides and they look good!!!

ATLmustang · January 22nd, 2007, 08:44 AM

energiesource · January 22nd, 2007, 09:38 AM

obviously u haven't heard of those stories of them flying off, going through the windshield at high speed and impaling the driver?

therapist · January 22nd, 2007, 03:47 PM

i was actually more interested in a way to take the covers off and make the stock lights look better. cuz i am saving money to have gears installed cuz i have my 4.10's and install kit sitting in my room. but i need the money for the install and my dad doesnt want the covers. thats my problem, the stock lights look as if something ran down the outside and left streaks, and i can feel that there is something rough there but it wont come when i wash the car.

neckbonekat · January 22nd, 2007, 03:54 PM

Try goo be gone or something like that. There might have been and adhesive on there. Once you get them clean go over them with a clear coat of wax and a buffer. DO NOT let the buffer sit in one place too long. They should look good after that.
