Default 2011 Headlight idea

I've been to the ford showroom, and realized how nice it would be to have the projector headlamps from the newer models. I thought it'd be a good idea for a company to start producing these headlights, for the s197 mustang. What are your thoughts?

Technically, only the HID equipped models have the projector type headlamps. I'd say its great to have for better light throw and all, but to be honest I like the non HID new front lights better. Just a little more mustang-y in my opinion

Those would especially look good on your car, they'll match the look of the pony pkg fog lights. I think the factory HID's on the '10s and up look good on the C/S and Shelby which have the smaller fog lights, but I think they look out of place on a regular GT with the big round fog lights right next to them.

I totally agree with you, I only think they look good on certain models. I'd like to see them on my car; not really something you'd ask the chop shop for! I do think the ford version of these lights look better than the raxiom ones, it would be nice to get a replica for my model

I actually prefer the look of the regular halogens. For some reason the HIDs just look a little weird to me.

I have been looking at similar lights for my 06 GT but I would like the over/under projector beams.
