Default white foxbody headlights

i just went thru inspection today and my headlights failed, said they were too dim and that i had to replace them. not the bulbs, the housing n what not. i know i can prob. just clean them up and theyll work ok to get me thru inspection, but want something differant. i was thinking maybe the blacked out one pieces, or maybe clear ones.... thing is i dont know what anything will look like on my stang... n this is where yall come in... those of you w. either some kind of aftermarket headlights, or even better white stangs, can ya please post pics of them... just trying to see what somethings will look like to give me a better idea of what to go with... thanks.

For a GT that is solid while, I would recommend the clears. For a LX that has black mouldings like mine, I prefer the smoked pieces.

I'm going with smoke head/fog/tail lights on my white GT. Then I'll scuff up the headlight covers and paint them oxford white.

I think the clears look good no matter what color the car is. Here is mine, but it was before I installed the new hood and repainted the car.

If you get the one piece ones they will still fail. They will be unable to adjust them if they are not in the specific beem pattern required by Md. Just get some very fine sand paper and wet sand them. Then polish and buff them out and you'll be good to go. I had the same problem w/ my Explorer and one of the guys at work did that for me and they look new. Then after you get through inspection change them to what you want!!!
