Help me choose corner lights for new projector headlights...

[stanger_missle]

My poor B.O.I Black Beauties are about toast. They are badly weather checked, the rubber trim disappeared months ago and the adjusters are broken. I can barely drive my car at night because the light output is so small and they never stay adjusted. Well, I bought some DEPOT black projectors and I now need some matching corner lights...

The new headlights:

I bought these amber corner lights because they were dirt cheap and they look different, dunno how they will look with the projectors:

Ok, so now for the black corner lights. The projectors do not have any lines in the lense so I'm trying to find corners to match.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

I personally like option 3 but I need a second opinion LOL

What do you guys think?

 

[det_riot]

look my headlights, mine are your exact set up with option 3

I'm fond of OEM corners.

 

[duh09]

I'd go with Option 3 or 2.

3 will look good. 2's different though.

I really like the setup you have on your car! Do you have any closeup shots of the lights or a head on shot of the front?

 

[det_riot]

yuppp

How long have you had those corners? Any issues with the rubber peeling off?

 

[det_riot]

I've had em since the summer. they're sunk in kinda far so they are peeling off on one side. I think i'm gonna take em apart this summer and just kinda refresh them. they were 10 bucks so w/e

Yeah, I can get those for like $24 shipped so I'm not expecting NASA quality. The previous owner put the black beauties on in 2008? or so. I bought the car in August of 2009 and most of the rubber was already gone. A couple of car washes later and all the rubber was gone. When I bought the car, I told myself that I would never put projectors on because all of them were fugly. I really like these though. I do plan on an HID kit in the near future now that I have projectors. Driving the 'stang at night is scary, especially at anything over 35MPH because I overdrive the headlights. They just plain suck. I hate driving at night. I don't have foglights either due to the Saleen front bumper. How is the light output on yours? I figure anything is better than what I have now...

 

[det_riot]

Ill find the place I ordered from in. A little but they came with bulbs and the light output was worlds better tham the rricer projectors I used to have. I'm gonna be ordering hids soon.

I got the amber corners and I got bored so I put them in. I like how they look but I don't think they will go with the black projectors. Oh well LOL

With the black beauties:

You can see the rubber is long gone:

Weather worn:

With the amber corners:

They are pretty much just like the smoked corners but a dark amber color:

Lights on (it wasn't really dark enough):

Oh and I was feeling frisky, so I did this:

I think it looks so much better without that ginormous S351 wing on her:

Look at that craftsmanship! I think my 4 year old son could do better:

And one final one because I could (I can't hold a camera still for sh!t LOL):

What do you guys think? I like the amber corners but I think I will buy black ones when the projectors get here...

I like the amber...I'm thinking about doing a similar setup.

 

[stanger_missle]

I just noticed that TheNatster513 has a very similar setup with the amber corners. I honestly have never seen smoked amber corners until a few days ago on Ebay when I found the ones I bought. Maybe Natster has some pics of his car?

Those projectors look nice. Anyone have night time pictures of the cut off line?? And u said those were depo lights?

yupp they are depo projectors

I like the amber corners...but I don't like the orange dot, can you get them without it?

 

[stanger_missle]

I like the amber corners...but I don't like the orange dot, can you get them without it?

I know... That was the only bugger about those... I contemplated opening the lights up and seeing if I could pry that orange dot out but I think Murphy's law was invented for me, so I decided against it.

I don't think you can get the amber corners without that little reflector.... I think it a DOT compliant thing...

 

[stanger_missle]

My lights came in today! First of all, they were packaged very well. They were in a box in a box in a box if that makes sense LOL. Lots of padding and the lights were in their own separate boxes and were very well padded. The construction of the lights is very good as well. These babies have some heft to them. The lenses are crystal clear polycarbonate. Fit and finish is superb! I have seen more expensive lights that were not half as well made.

However, since the stock headlight has one hi/low bulb and these have a separate bulb for each, they included a wiring harness and 2 relays. I was looking at the instructions and its a bit confusing. I scanned the instructions. Maybe you guys can decipher them? (I don't speak very well Engrish)

What am I looking at here? What the hell is a thanser harness LOL?
