Default normal looking Projector Headlights?

I was looking for some normal looking ones, all the ones on ebay look kind of weird, kind of ricey. Any one have normal looking ones? I want to get HID's one day so when i do those ill do the projector headlights at the same time.

Head over to American Muscle and check them out

I think you should avoid the conversion, if you are considering it. The HID conversions tend to blind oncoming traffic as they are very bright and the stock lights have a reflective lens. This makes the light go everywhere and very dangerous. I picked up a set of ***THESE*** (from Stangmods, but appear to be the same ones as AM) and are very happy with them...


They don't look ricey to me, they look European like a BMW or Audi. If you disagree, that is fine as it is your ride.

Good luck

Nice try jazzer. One, those are for a new edge which he does not have and two, I have had my HIDs for over a year now in my halogen housings and I have yet to have a single person flash their brights at me. As long as you correctly aim them, there is nothing wrong with getting HIDs.

To answer your question stangalator, no. They all look like ricer lights to me. Your best bet is to either deal with the stock halogen housings or retofit some projectors from another car into your stock housings. That is about the only way you will get projeftors that look good. PM ardollar. I know he has some pictures of a sn95 with retrofitted projectors.

Oops, didn't notice catch the pre-New Edge ride there

No need to be a smart-a$$, I said "tend" to blind people. I have seen lots of threads with this complaint. It is great that you got them adjusted well, most seem to have trouble with that one.

+1... aim them right and there won't be a problem...

but jazzer is right in the sense that you aren't going to beat projectors with HID's...

for the 94-98, no projectors look good at all.. well maybe the ones ARdollar has pics of..

but on 99-04, i like the ones jazzer has.. any variation of smoked lights/projectors along with the stock shape "should" look great on a new edge

I haven't found any projector lights that look good for the Sn95, I needed to replace my lights because they were yellow and ended up settling for black-housing one piece units. All though I ended up replacing them with new stock lights and clear corners as the 1-piece fit like crap.
