Default Headlights?

I'm in the process of restoring my son's 93 Fox. I have painted it Gloss Black and ordered a set of Cobra R wheels so you will have an idea of the theme. Anyway I would like to upgrade the front lights to maybe a projector type with the halos (Euro?) and noticed there are several different ones available. I'm sure that some are quality and some are junk but have no idea of who has the best ones. So heres the question. What do you guys recommend and have you a picture. Also the company name and info would be great. Thanks,
Evil

I don't think smoked heads or tails would look that great, especially with chrome rims... but that's my opinion.

I'm using StangMods HID kit. The Bixenon one(hi and low beams). They work great. With the stock halogens I could barely see at night. These HID's light up 5 lane highways with low beams. It made my drive to Norfolk aloooot nicer.

I think I am using projecter light housings but I'm not sure as the previous owner put them in. But I think the HID kit's work in stock housings. Smoke it if you want?

I say with the dark car and the chrome rims, go with a set of the stock replacement clear corner lights or go with some Ultra Clear front lenses, they are diamond cut and look flashy

as for the tails, stay away from that euro junk, they look like crap

go with some stock LX tails or some SVO/Cobra lenses

No, it's not. Maybe have a look a our stickies in the 5.0 section. It'll help ya figure out what's considered what.

American muscle and brothers performance sells them. The projector headlights with the halos get mixed reviews so just be sure that your son likes the look, lol. I bought mine from brothers performance and had to do lots of splicing, it didn't come with a harness, which I believe the american muscle one does. The low beams on mine, are not the greatest, maybe better bulbs would help. The high beam though reaches really far. Here's some pics of mine.
