are you looking for chrome or black? latemodelrestoration has some nice 2 piece projectors that i've been looking into. imo the 1piece design doesn't look right.

chrome:

Its just personal opinion on the 1 piece. to me they don't look like they fit right and just look awkward. but its not about what i like.

any headlights you buy from an actual company like latemodel should be fine, but i'd stay away from the ebay brands.

Take a look at myhotmustang.com ever seen the "custom" brand? All the 2 piece projectors I see have to modify the headlight panel to install. That is my only worry. Anyone out there already bought and installed? any problems....looking for all input! BTW Reddy....nice stroker! love to see any SN95....we may be heavy but we are still brothers!

i agree with the 1 piece looking funny. i dont like the projectors to begin with and would say dont do it, but its your car so do whatever you like. but if you havent seen a car with one piece lights on it i would suggest googling cause they look a lot bettter on paper then they do on the car. i think i has to do with the line created by the fender or something but it doesnt look right.

id look into late model restoration or american muscle. theres others out to but im not realy sure on the quality such as mrbodykit.com and abcexclusives.com(havent heard good things about this one)

I have not heard a single good thing about the 1pc headlights in terms of quality of fitment, and I think they look pretty bad too. Actually I have yet to see a projector headlight on an SN95 that looked good...
