Default 1 pc Headlights?

Just wondering if anyone has tried them and if so, how do they fit? I'm thinking of getting a pair.

from experiance i've found ebay brands leak from time to time. I've ordered a pair of ebay headlights and they leeked water inside the housing real badly, then my friend ordered a pair for his fox and they were fine, so i dunno. I'm not a fan of the one pieces either i just don't think they look right. just imo tho.

Those cheap imitations are ugly. If you want a 1 piece go with the ones at americanmuscle

83, If those Ebay ones are ugly, than the American Muscle ones are ugly, too. They are almost the same thing. Neither one looks particularly ugly, it's just that they look so different than stock, that they just doesn't look RIGHT. The only reason that I would go for either one of them is that they are clear, and have the projector feature (because let's face it, our night-vision SUCKS in Mustangs) and that you can get the HID upgrade and have a decent chance of lighting up the night in front of your car. The only thing is that you would lose the ability to adjust where your headlights are aiming, because the middle piece in the 3 piece lights is what controls that, and the whole section tilts. If there is just one section, no adjustment.

They will leak. You will have to go to the local parts store and get some black silicone and make sure you reseal around the lens and housing. I purchased a simulator pair with projectors 2 weeks ago and they filled up half way with water after going to the car wash.

After fixing the water problem, I installed HID bulbs. They look great. I have received a lot of comments on the new look. Just yesterday. I was driving down the road and some guy flagged me down, He wanted to know were i go the new lights.

IMO the ONLY headlights that look good on foxes are stock, and stock with clear corners

What is the DEAL with clear corners?!?! It's been years since they came out with the clear corners, and people bought and are buying them like hotcakes. I think part of the charm of the stock headlights are the amber corners. You guys want to know what's REALLY ugly? Euro taillights! I saw a fox GT the other day with euro taillights, and I just about hurled. I can understand LX taillights on a GT, but...

Yea the euros are the ugliest thing ever put onto ANY mustang. Clear corners just look cleaner than the amber ones do. I have seen the the smoked one piece lights on a blue stang that looked good. It is just something different so give it time and it will catch on......maybe........
