Headlight advice...

Rice_slayer · Feb 28, 2010

Well, With my project on hold and almost finished, I have been looking at replacing my headlights. Thing is, I'm stuck between black beauties or smoked ones. Here is what my car look's like, which one would match my theme the best?

those are what i have. i think they would look killer on your ride. you could night-shade them a little darker too.

Black beauties look the best on yellow.

smoked, this thread needs more poll..

Even with all your black accents, I think diamond clears would be the cleanest look for your car.

i don't really think you can go wrong with any set of darker headlights, just get what you like.

Alright, so here are some yellow stangs with the said headlights... I'm leaning towards the black beauties as SRT said, they don't give it a too dark appearance, but do give an agressive look

Black Beautys

Smoked

Clear

the clears look so much cleaner on Yellow than any of the others. Not to mention, the first two pictures you posted are both smoked. Black Beauties dont look like the first picture you posted.

Those are stock pictures from AM's site, aside from Nick's car with the smoked ones. The BB seem to look different at different angles.

ARdoller · Feb 28, 2010

go find a picture of Dutch's car. He has black beauty headlights, and they dont look anything like those.

OnyxCobra · Feb 28, 2010

AR is right, that first pic is not of black beauties.

Those are not Black Beauties. I ahve Black Beauties, they have a Black housing, there is no looking different in different lights.

And I vote Black Beauties.

I kinda have this thing for smoked lights, so thats my vote. Might go well with your black stripe. Are you planning on getting fog lights? I have the smoked foglights and they look real steath with my theme.

Rice_slayer · Feb 28, 2010

I already have cobra foglights, just the normal ones, don't think I have a pic with them besides with them on, but I have had them since september-ish, aligning and mounting them was a pain though

. I think I'll go with the black beautys as they are not completely black(i looked at dutchs and some other members lights) and think the will look better with my car. Hopefully I can get them soon...

if you had black wheels like mine then i would say smoked for sure because my headlights look so good with my black saleens but to be honest as soon as i switched to my stocker 16" wheels for winter they kinda looked a little off...id say you cant go wrong with black beauties though i wouldve bought them if i had 400$ cause i only paid 150$ for mine. Either way though they would look 10 times better then what youve got now

Clear OEM Cobra Headlamps with stock corners

Are you particularly looking for a yellow/black theme, or is that just how the car/hood was when you got it? Especially with the wheels you have now, going to an all yellow/clear theme would really make your car's paint pop. If I were you, Id take the hood stripe off, or repaint it depending on what it is, put diamond clear or cobra headlights in, do the envoy foglight mod, and then slam the car.
