I have been considering some black projectors. The car is blue....bright blue. I don't recall the name. I am thinking black projectors, chin spoiler, and perhaps some different tail lights.

Whatever lights you choose make sure you completely reseal every single crack/seam with epoxy or it will bead up water inside like a fishtank with a humidifier in it. I dont care who made them...they will all take in moisture adventually. They can be fixed though, you should rip the rubber top trim of the lights and epoxy there as well then glue the trim back on with epoxy. Everyone who sells them will honor a return if and when the moisture buildup accurs but remember you will be paying shipping and handling twice. I posted my 3rd set of lights below. 7 months and no moisture. Without resealing I would give it 3 days or the first rain. Plesae take my advice and take care of those lights before you put them on. Cover the lenses completed with painters tape so that you dont get glue or epoxy on the lens. The ones on my car are projecter with the light up halo ring like the BMWs. you can find them here- cruizinconcepts

New dual halo mustang projectors. I know I post a lot here about cruizinconcepts here and no I dont work there or have stock. its just a great bunch of guys ready to talk mustangs.

clear side lens in headlight-gotcha. Doesn't show much in these pics. I almost bought those until I started liking projector. Do you have the phantom clear bulbs instead of amber so that it is 100% clear in sunlight?

Those look nice. I already planning on resealing them before I put them in. I have been researching on how to do that.

On the dual projectors did you have to do any re-wiring? I already decided I don't want to mess with any of that.

Im not using the Halo either. The wiring is simple but I dont want a cheap radio shack switch placed in my car. they need a seperate on and off. You may try tying the wires into your fogs.

I don't want to fool with wiring so may skip out on the halo. Much rather get some that works with the factory setup.

You still should get the lights. Mine look great without the halos on. I just duct taped the halo wires to the bottom of the headlight casing before installing...the rest of the lights are factory plug and drive instalation. The halo rings look cool when they are off and I actually prefer them off. Get them for the projection factor and the cool styling rather than the hallos

I want those lights, but I want to wire the Halos in with the parking lights not the fog lights.

Will your Halos blink when you turn?

No. Not the signal lights the parking light. You know if you pull the headlight knob out half way and all the lights come on except the headlights? I've seen a kid driving at dusk like that. It looks wicked coming up on you on the road.

I thought about going with the sequential but I decided i want something with a black background to match the headlights I want to get. I have bright blue mustang with the white stripes down the side. Thought it might be a nice contrast between the three colors.
