Default New Headlights, Need Opinions

Late christmas present.
I'm a little undecided if I like them, or if they're a little ricer.

Anybody?

I think they would probably look better without the black under the lights on the bumper.

haha thanks for noticing.

& thank you kenny, for being honest.

the wrong headlights were shipped to me, I threw them in to see what they look like since it only took about 5 minutes.

I've actually done some thinking and I'm going to keep them, but only for one reason.

For your statement on the black under the bumper, I hate it. I hate it because it looks, well EMO as my girlfriend stated haha.

I'm repainting the car. I'm going to mix up a gun metal gray, then dump in some black to darken it. Then, I'm doing the same design on the hood with gloss black, then running stripes down the fenders.

When I paint the car, I'm going to scuff the headlights with 3000 grit, then smoke them.
So...sorry guys, but the headlights are staying for now. I can drive a gay car for a month until I can afford to buy paint, then I'll paint it myself.

Or, I'll steal the 04 Mach for a a while, haha.

Smoked would be great. Projector head lights offer MUCH better lighting but look way out of place on a sn95 / new edge. Smoke them however and it's another story as you can't see the changes

Thanks, the ones I ordered look the same as stock, they're just clear cut like the newer mustangs. These ones came, I was a little pissed, but put em in anyways.

now though, I think I'd rather smoke these because of the outline they'll make will look a little different.

Plus, I think an HID conversion will be in the near future for my GT, my Ram, and the 04 Mach.

I'm still thinking about the cobra wheels, or if I want the Torque Thrust M's.

But here's a general outline of my plan.
both pictures include the same exact headlights I have now, however only in the top photo have I've smoked them
