headlight tint film off ebay, plastic headlight covers, or just but the stock smoked ones from a 2001+ model from certifit.....

210RagTopStang · 08-27-2006, 12:30 PM

get the smoked ones, tinting them will just make you headlights useless.

FnSweet06 · 08-27-2006, 01:14 PM

^w3rd! not to much of a fan of the tint/plastic.
i'd go w/ the smoked headlight, and you'll see nice outcome. i did the same change to my 00'

ImpactStang · 08-27-2006, 03:10 PM

yeah i have the AVS plastic black covers on mine, it looks nice but i cant see a damn thing at night if my fogs arent on...

CelebrateTues. · 08-27-2006, 07:10 PM

really??!!?? well, thanks alot people. you were alot of help. i know just about every thing there is to know about cars mechanically, but cosmetic... well, i'm working on it.

Nighthawk · 08-27-2006, 07:12 PM

yup, covers make the lights useless.

FnSweet06 · 08-27-2006, 08:11 PM

are the covers or tint legal here in texas???

timpryor · 08-27-2006, 09:55 PM

no, i don't think so

210RagTopStang · 08-27-2006, 10:20 PM

illegal i think, its a safety hazard (i think it is).. it limits your vision

check out USA AND* CANADA they got some good headlight options there.

CelebrateTues. · 08-27-2006, 11:38 PM

are you serious? i see them all the time. i thought the covers were smoked and met the minimum requirements. but the black ones (not smoked) are for show only

FnSweet06 · 08-27-2006, 11:43 PM

uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh???? kinda confused.
the covers that are smoked, but the ones that are not??? is there 2 diff. kinds?

CelebrateTues. · 08-27-2006, 11:49 PM

i thought there was on ebay. may i got it confused with the film.i couldnt find it when i searched right now. sorry. does the tint suck that bad? it says it removable. sounds cheap

FnSweet06 · 08-28-2006, 12:13 AM

i'd go w/ these.
there the shiznit!!

ImpactStang · 08-28-2006, 04:05 AM

yeah when you tint the headlights you can do it just like when you tint a car window, you can pick what % you want to go so in theory your headlight can still be useful to an extent...but the plastic covers barely let any let out. you can tell the headlights are on when you look at the car from the outside, but when your driving if theres no city lights on its makes you feel like you have those mini mag lights strapped to the front of your car...its really limited vision, which is why they are a safety hazard...

smoked headlights-its just a housing around where the bulb sits that is black, but it isnt illegal nor need any modification to the lights themselves, ford sells them they cam on the 01 and up stangs i believe. they look sweet even for stockers...

and adrain yeah i always have them on but remember i have those huge Roush fogs on mine so they light the living hell out of the street, they provide me with more light than the stock do anyway...but if the bulb goes out or when i had an electrical problem with them i would take the covers off at night so i could see...

im exactly opposite from ya celebratetues, i dont know shit under the hood but i can throw on kits, hoods, and "show related" stuff like its nobody's business, lemme know if ya have questions ive experienced it all almost...

FnSweet06 · 08-28-2006, 09:07 PM

quick correction, its adrian. ....but its kool bro.

ImpactStang · 08-28-2006, 11:44 PM
