Projectors on a 98? (and does anyone have a pair they dont want?)


I was just wondering the opinions of everybody on projection headlights on our stangs body style (96-98). I was toying around with the idea of getting a pair made by sonar, clear lens with black interior housing and i guess it has halo rings that light up that euro blue. personally i cant decide whether or not it would look better or worse, being that my car is that metallic red with white racing stripes over the middle. Input i feel is needed from those who have them.

Also, is anyone selling a pair of these for cheap? or would consider trading them for a pair of stock headlights and marker lamps? I would appreciate it!

Personally I don't think they look good. I met a guy with them in a 97 and they just don't appeal to me. They make the car look like a ricer and not American muscle. All up to you though. Good luck. I have the headlights with the black housing on my red 96 and got them off eBay for 120 shipped.

that confused me, u have them but u dont like them? then why not revert back to your stocks, unless u pitched them? or we're u saying u were willing to give them up possibly?

but see i have been switchn back and forth between thinkin they'd be ok and thinkn they'd be horrible. My main reason is because i have stock replacements as it is, and they are continually causing problems. the first pair the reflectors fell out of them, and now this pair the drivers side treks up.

I don't have the black projectors I do however have smoked headlights. I like the smoked look, just not the projectors... That's what I was trying to say. Sorry for any confusion.

well i was thinking about customizing them if i did get them...I kinda was pondering taking them apart and spraying the inner housing of them to match my car color. sice i have some of that paint lying around here anyways. But o well, i scrapped the idea and am planning to stay stock with just some superwhites or something.

I agree on the smoked ones, clear ones look good except on the sun imo too flashy to me....
