Personally..with those .. I'll call them projectors..headlights shown in the photos, the car would ahve looked better with the current V6 Pony package fog lights. The fogs in the pictures are way to big with the headlights shown

I don't have any experience with HID reflectors. I guess I had wrongly assumed that the OEM HID reflectors would be better than a Halogen reflector with a HID kit installed (which IMO opinion creates terrible light distribution that usually blinds on coming traffic). I would definitely prefer a HID projector housing, but one done in a fashion similar to what was done on the 08/09 Challenger.

Yea, your right the stock halogen with hid is terrible, mustang stock reflector hid is cr&*, and projector is the best HID light system.

Yeah what the heck is the deal with the big fog lights. If you make the front smaller and downsize why would you leave huge fog lights that get cutoff by the hood. I would have to pop the hood latch to make it look right. Ahh but I am sure it will grow on me.. Not that I am buying one.
