Anybody have either of these headlights?

This winter I plan on doing some exterior work to the mustang, one being swapping out my angel eyes for a nice smoked two piece set. Does anybody have experience with either set of these?

I have the second set of headlights, they look great, fit nice and tight.

light output could be better with real projectors but it was alright with the regular halogen bulbs.

which ever you get, make sure you seal them up with some silicone, to prevent moisture from going in the headlights..

the more I look at them I'm actually starting to lean towards the second set, javi do you happen to have any pics?

I had the first set on my old car. They were nice besides the dam orange dot. I sealed them up and they never leaked. Gotta get the chrome side maker bulbs too

looks great man, happy to hear people are satisfied with the quality, they are very fairly priced

I have the first set, and i love them prolly some of the best money ive spent on my car. here is a phone pic. these photos reallly dont do them justice, they look awesome in person.

thanks for the pics guys, both sets look great. I dont think I can really go wrong either way. Im just sick of the one piece halo look and looking to switch it up

 

[MustangChris]

are you rio red or laser red? that plays a huge part in the choice IMO.

 

[97stanger]

I'm rio red, heres what the ride looks like now...I think it would look pretty awesome with either one of those:

 

[MustangChris]

id go with black housing, clear lenses (#1)

the smoked housing (#2) looks good with darker colors. but strawberry red and rio red are too bright for #2, IMO

 

[97stanger]

yeah I see what your saying...looking at bright reds with #2 they look almost too dark

 

[MustangChris]

they add "weight" (remember art class? white vs black, negative vs positive) and the darker smoked lights add too much "weight" to the front of the car IMO.

haha good reference

I think the Blue Oval Industries smoked headlights are thest best, which look like the second ones you posted. Or cobra headlights.

if these are the ones youre talking about....these look the best to me by far:

I have the first set that you posted and the only thing I don't like is the orange marker inside. I have figure out how to get rid of it. If you have HID's you should be pretty good with black lenses.

I am looking at these too. They look similar but feel that maybe you'll get slightly better quality from BOI.

Almost identical correct?
