Default New headlights

Hey guys,

I want to get halo head lamps for my mustang but could use some advice. From previous threads I know the CCFL are the way to go. However, I wanted to recap with you guys that those are indeed the best to purchase since it has been a few years since our last discussion (lost lasting, uniform lighting, quality, etc).

I also would like to know where to get them. I searched on American Muscule but all I found were the chrome inside halos or smoked head lamps. I want my head lamps to remain black on the inside but not smoked.

Also, I would like to retain the slightly blue hugh to the light as well (which I think happens naturally with the CCFLs).

Thanks.

Could you send me the link to where you bought them? Yours don't look smoked so if you still have access to the link, that would be great.

Thanks.

they are your basic halos i like them because they have a larger ring and are blacked out, i would upgrade the bulbs as well if you want that clean blue hue

Stephan,

I appreciate your help, but I don't want the smoked lens. I want the regular looking stock headlamp with halos.

Those have to exist somewhere. I was surprised when AM didn't have them.

Well, Im in the smoked category but, I can tell you from testing, Raxiom, if they do make stock looking ones, are good quality.. very bright halo, looks like a solid build and they are the first lights i didn't have to silicone up loose joints... Just stuck em on and good to go. Easy to wire as well.
