  Black Projector Headlights

  Look really good in my car...03 Mustang GT...very bright at night...very easy installation, pull two pins and the headlight slides right out. Haven't had to change any bulbs yet, so I can't comment on that. I see others are saying the low beams are horrible, I don't know I must have been lucky cause my low beams are very bright and my high beams light up the whole road, and are really bright.

  Black Projector Headlights

  I just finished the install of these lights. The good, I will say they look very nice on my car. The bad, very disappointed in product documentation, and lack of instructional materials provided for install. Zero information contained in package for installation, the website video is uninformative at best. The lights came pre-installed with bulbs and the HIGH beam are almost impossible to change out. I was able to replace the low beams, with replacement bulbs 8k. As another reviewer has mentioned the flush fit of the lights required modifying, actually removing the plastic pin cups, I didn't try that, but will later. I had to use a dremel tool to make clearance for the backplate to fit correctly. Overall, great looks with the lights, but extremely unhappy with the available installation materials, which didn't exist.

  could go both ways

  i have a cobra and a gt. buy two sets of these and unless you have a cobra bumper, they don't look good. i would not tell anyone with a gt to purchase these... check out the pictures, with the cobra bumper (circle for lights) it goes well. but with the GT bumper it looks tacky. i removed the after 5 minutes..

  Noticably Dimmer

  Since I live in a pretty dense City, I haven't been able to use the brights other than in my garage. When they're on "regular" mode though, they are noticably dimmer than the original factory lamps. That said, they are bright enough and they look freakin' cool (which is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than blinding headlamps), so I'm ok with them. I may swap out the bulbs for something brighter if necessary in the future, but the housing wins in my opinion, because they walk the line between "old school" and the full-on "nutty professor HID projector goggles" I almost bought.

  Not a good replacement

  Installation in the car was fine with a little effort, but replacing the bulbs is nearly impossible. I've had these in for a few months now. The lights were manufactured incorrectly with the high beam and low beam reflectors in the opposite locations. The low beam buld should be the one with the wire pigtail attached. That would give you a chance at replacement. Alignment is totally off since the low beam does not align with the high beam. Not at all what I wanted or expected.

  03 Mach 1

  If your mustang is a few years old and you think the headlights might be peeling, or scuffed or delaminating, they are and these are great upgrades at better than OEM prices. The difference is clear and very noticeable. 1.If you dont know how to seal your lights watch the video. Do your fog lights also if you havent already blown bulbs due the fishbowl effect. 2. use multiple strips of 2" packing tape to cover the fresh silicone so you can install immediately. 3. Use the old 1157 TS bulb if you dont want to wait for the trip to the store, the H1 and H3 purchase is not necessary immediately as the new units came with bulbs installed. Plug and play. Negative: The new light assemblies are not made to exacting specs, they dont fit totally perfect, and so the retainer clips have to be slightly forced in. We'll see if this causes breaking of the slots later

  eh they're ok

  I loved the smoked look and the high beams are really bright. The low beams are terrible and even worse when it rains. So if it's dark and rainy, vision is almost zero : The high beams are near impossible to reach though so I havent been able to change them out.

  Great Value

  Bought these to replace my sun damaged and cracked OEM headlight assemblies. Just taking them out of the box they felt very high quality and thankfully were to install, partially due to the factory design but also that it came with an adapter harness for the headlights and also utilized the factory turn signal bulb and harness. Even at night they are quite a bit brighter than my horribly damaged stock headlights. My only problem with them is the stock headlights are TERRIBLE. I mean, they are so bad it should be illegal to provide those bulbs with them. I drove at night with them once before switching to the "upgrade" Raxiom Performance bulbs (which are not worth getting in my opinion, but they are better than these stock lights...) because I could hardly see down the road! All in all though, a very good upgrade and would recommend to any New Edge owner. Just be sure to get some better bulbs with this before driving at night.

  Look good. But very loose

  These lights look good on the car but don't line up the same on the road. Always getting flashed from other drivers because the fit is loose and the lights rattle all over the road. Not sure how to tighten them up to alleviate the rattle; therefore I would not buy again, or recommend anyone to buy these unless you want to get angry driving down the highway every night seeing your lights flicker and bounce all over the street signs...

  Great looking part

  A few other people have said how dim these lights are. They are right. They look great during the day but need help at night. Better bulbs are absolutely nessairy.

  Cool appearance/fair practical use

  These headlights look very nice and blend very well with black rims on a white body. However, they do not aim very well. The projectors have a shadow or line at top that cut off any light. When the projectors are properly aimed, the bright lights are way to high. I finally found a reasonable mix but disappointed in the low beam projectors. High beams work nice. One other point is that you will lose peripheral lighting that you had with stock lights. Which cuts your vision when turning a corner at night.

  Smoked Projector Headlights

  Fit and look great on my car. Visibility isn't the greatest for the low beams but the high beams work great. I use the high beams at night to drive, I may still try to adjust the lows up a lot more. Light bulbs are so easy to change out, took less than 10 minutes. Headlights themselves were easy to change out. Overall, I really like them on my 2001 mustang.

  Nothing Extra!

  These headlights look amazing! Just upgraded from the dark smoked headlights and can't believe how much the visibility has improved. The best part is you get all the performance of a projector headlight and keep that aggressive muscle car styling without all the accent LED's or the halo around your bulb. Thanks AM for providing such a great product! P.S. just take your time with the high beam bulb. I pulled it out and put it back in to see what all the fuss was about and as long as you take your time its not hard at all. Remove the electrical wire from the bulb first, un-latch the hook holding the bulb in (its on a hinge), and slowly take the bulb out.

  Great Lights. BULBS ARE REVERSED!!!

  Great Lights. Went on easy. Fit well. Look fantastic. High and low beams are switched up on here though. Highs are the H1 bulbs and lows are the H3. Wish i wouldve known because i was going to use my HIDs that fit H1 but now i cant. Still, the sylvania bulbs are quite nice.

  black projector headlights

  Hey just installed them a couple weeks ago on my 2003 mustang and they look great! Came on time and undamaged. However instalation was not as simple as i hope it would be, the time and effort was still worth it.

  I was surprised when they looked better than in the pics

  The first set I got one of the sides the alignment pins were about an inch off. AM rectified that in less than 24 hours. The replacement set of lights is on and looking so much better than in the pictures. I really didn't want these, but I'd tried everything short of HID bulbs to improve my night driving. The lights are super bright! My only gripe is that I wish they didn't have the amber in the corners, it would really clean up the look. A tip for install, there are 4 platic "cups" where the alignment pins sit (2 per side). Pull those out and the lights should fit near flush. Another issue I have is I have no clue how I'm going to change the highbeams (I think the H3 but I'm not sure) bulbs. It's such a tight fit.
