Default exterior lighting

THe guy who owned my car last did some half assed job on the tail lights, he swapped the bulbs with LEDs and used a clear housing. THey look alright, but the wiring sucks and they aren't sealed very well. Aslo Im told they wont pass inspection. So Im gonna swap them with either stock tail lights, or perhaps some chrome euros. I need some feedback on the euro style ones, cause Ive never seen them on a mustang. If I do the tail lights euro chrome, I will end up doing the front lights the projector chrome with halos on account of the stock headlights looking like my bros contour's. Thanks alot for any feedback.


p.s was gonna do performance first, but the exterior is really rough.

Dont go Euro's, i bought some for my car now it looks gay, i would have put my stock tail lights back up there but my friend dropped it and scratched the crap out of it, so when i get my car repainted in march they are definetly going back up there.

NO EUROS!!!!

If anything at all do the X2C tinted tails. I have been thinking about them more and more......

fair enough. But what do you guys think about the projectors with the halos? They have a chrome set that looks pretty sweet, I just dont like the stock headlights.

Yeah I switched out my headlights too right after christmas. I bought a pair of smoked headlights off ebay for around 150 bucks and they work great. I don't know what year yours is but check out these babies....

I plan on dumping my stock headlights too, I think that would look awesome with the halos, however I am a former ricer so what I say prolly doesn't count.

Yeah me too, I used to have a honda prelude before I sold it and got hooked on a GT I bought from a car auction.

Those are the ones w/ halos that I liked. Those smoked ones look sweet though
