Default headlights and exhaust??

okay ive got my 92 lx vert...white with black top, and my headlights are foggy and ugly...i was looking into some new ones from www.mustangsunlimited.com...so im looking into the following - http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...p;CatKey=74-01
http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...p;CatKey=74-01
http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...p;CatKey=74-01

i dont know if i want to go with the ultra clear or the ultra smoked look! and also one peice or six peice, anyone have any opinion?

also, i need to get a new catback, and i want the loudest i can get but i DO NOT want to go SLP or a glass pack, i have 40 flows right now with an offroad h pipe, i will be getting headers soon, but is there a setup louder than what ive got?

I just got new lights from 50Resto.com (Late Model Restoration Supply). They are very reasonable on the basic 6 pc set, I got the ones pictured below for 89.99 I think it was. As for the exhaust, yours should rumble pretty good. Check with a Flowmaster dealer, they can tell you whats loudest.If I remember correctly single chambers (not sure what # series) is loudest and then 2 chamber and 3 chambers are the quietest. Someone will correct me I am sure if I am off..feel free as its been a while since reading or hearing this information. Anyhow, here are some pics I took today after getting a set of UGLY tail pipe tips removed and the factory type put back on as well as the new headlights! Threw in before and after pics for the heck of it! I almost got the smoked headlights rather than the clear..but I am satisfied with these. In the new headlight pic one looks blue and the other white but they are the same..just some weird lighting trick at this angle.

I have the exact same lights, ultra clear with black back ground, I love the look, but I need some fog lights bad, or a better alternator. Mine just are not that bright at night. lmk if you need any pics.

tmajikman so you have the ultra clears with the black background...now are they just as bright as the ultra clear with a chrome background? and would they look good on my white car? and boof1027...are yours just the ultra clear?

I think they would look very good on your car, I am not sure they put out as much light as the ultra clear, my alternator only seems to put out around 10 volts, so I have other issues with the lighting.

Yeah mine are just ultra clears and put out great light. The only downside to these lights are when you install them the alignment pins do not line up with the factory one. I took a drill and enlarged the hole,I am only talking like 1/8th of an inch. Other then that they are awesome. They are alot brighter than stockers.

So from what i understand, the ultra clears with the black background look like they have blackouts when they are off, but when they are on they look like the ultra clears...am i wrong in thinking this?
