projector lights are pretty lame but that's just my opinion. if you want somethin different i'd just go with the smoked like you said or just buy a new set of stock with thewhite corners, they're cheep enough. stupid ricey gimicy bells and whistles take away fromwhat a a mustang is supposed to be.

they dont make projectors on low beams, cause it would be pointless. they would point too high and you would get flashed all the time. there was a post about them earlier, use the search and you should be able to find it.

i dont see how it would be pointless to have projectors for the low beams when every car manufacturer that uses a projector uses them on the low beams and a reflector based light as the high beam. but thanks for answering my question looks like ill be getting the smoked lights.

yea i see what your sayin but projector by the name is meant to project light, to me it makes more sense to have them as hight beams but yea the smoked ones look better imo

are you talking about the projector headlight assembly or HID's?? I'm confused here. The projector headlights use normal 9007's. Aftermarket HID's are usually just one beam, but dish out the cash (and trust me you'll want to) and get the dual beam, but remember aftermarket HID's are never as bright as OEM HID's.

the projectors are crap espescialy the ones from APC, i had to learn the hard way (should a known that before hand). bought em three years ago they dont fit, you gota cut the light bracket, wiring is a B!tch and mine strarted fading after two years.
save your self some $$$ and leave them alone.
