projector headlight headlights or not?

panther19762001 · December 31st, 2008, 01:36 PM

i am finally working on getting my mustang back together, and trying to decide what headlights to put back into it i never did like the looks of the OEM and the one that did not get busted is clouded up anyow. i was shopping around on ebay and came across these

and like them alot, not sure i will buy these model necessarily.

question is how is the lighting for these are they brighter then OEM lights? about the same? crap less your driving in the city? i don't have many street lights out where i live and alot of deer something with good lighting and looks nice would definitely be a bonus.

thanks for imput

if i were you, i'd get hid's

6ER THEN I 8ER! · December 31st, 2008, 06:55 PM

well sure...HIDs are great, but if he likes the projector style then either is fine

04mustang232 · December 31st, 2008, 07:10 PM

IMO, i dont like em.

I think clear corner lights and HIDs would be sick

Ninjawafers! · December 31st, 2008, 08:06 PM

these are my projectors... cant stand them

plus... you cant see with them as good as you would think... my stocks were brighter. when i can afford it ill be getting smoked headlights with hids

I was looking at the same headlights but I was a little skeptical about how they perform. I like the way they look but I might just go get some of the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs for my car. Does anyone know how those are?

Kins! · January 1st, 2009, 02:10 PM

Silverstars are all I ever use in my cars. They're brighter than standard bulbs...but...they're not H.I.D.s.

Tlord18 · January 1st, 2009, 04:18 PM

I have the 98 style projectors and I really dont like them. They are hard as shit to adjust and they really dont give off that much light. I had to get foglights to help the visibility to the sides of the car. I think the stock 99 single piece lights looks sick, i vote to smoke those

graystang01 · January 2nd, 2009, 12:52 AM

i have halos on mine and i think they look bad ass. ive gotten plenty of compliments on em

any chance of snapping a visibility pic? maybe a pic from like 20 feet infront of the car? just wondering how the spread is.

white03v6 · January 2nd, 2009, 02:09 AM

ya, im for smoked with hids.
if you cant afford them do as i did and go silverstars until youre ready to go for the hid conversion.
but i think the projectors look terrible.

Ninjawafers! · January 2nd, 2009, 08:29 AM

definitely smoked with HIDs... the projectors for stangs are just too ricey.. yes i have them and it was a mistake buying them... i personally think they look more ricey on the new edge stangs than on my sn95. you will be a lot happier with smokes and HIDs... trust me on this one

03SonicBoom · January 2nd, 2009, 08:52 AM

For the love of God, if you're going to go HIDs at least put them in a crappy projector. HIDs in a reflector housing is half assed and for ricers.

That's what I was feeling from that last thumbnail posted. There is no beam pattern and the light looks to be reflecting all over, which kills the whole point of the HIDs.

I just got a pair of projectors put in and think they really made the car look better. All I need now is some better bulbs.
