Raxiom Axial Series One-Piece Euro Crystal Headlights; Black Housing; Clear Lens (87-93 Mustang)

Video Review & Installation

Hey guys, Stephanie with americanmuscle.com, here with a review and install of Axial black one-piece headlights, fitting all 1987 to 1993 Fox body Mustangs. The Axial black one-piece headlights are going to be a good option for you if you're looking for the styling of a one-piece headlight and you want the dark look of a smoked headlight but without the sight issues that a tinted lens can bring. These headlights are what I consider a "no frills" headlight. They don't have any extra lighting, and they're more of an OE design than an aftermarket design. So they're also gonna be a good option for you if you aren't looking for any extra added accent lighting or styling from your headlights like some of the other options offer. So normally a Fox body Mustang would come with a three-piece headlight setup. Some people really like that look and some people don't. These headlights take the three-piece headlight design and mold it into a one-piece headlight. It's gonna have a subtly different look in the front end of the Fox body. As far as the styling goes, other than that one-piece design, these headlights have that black housing, which is nice in my opinion, for a few reasons. You still get the blacked out dark look from the headlights, but you get it without having to go with the tinted lens. That means that you get the style without the drawback of poor visibility. If anything, a fresh set of headlights and new bulbs are going to improve visibility if you're still running your factory components. The headlights don't have any additional or accent lighting either. You just have your three bulbs here, your main light, your turn signal, and your side marker. There is a little bit of a different design in the housing, which you can see for yourself. So these don't look like stock replacements, but they're still what I consider one of the more toned down options when it comes to headlights. Axial does make a headlight just like this one that comes with accent lighting if you wanted something a bit more from your headlights. I will say that the headlights are gonna come with this built-in top weather stripping, but they're not gonna come with new bulbs. Those you need to pick up separately, and you're looking at needing a 9,000 forward bulb. AmericanMuscle does carry these bulbs from both Raxiom and Sylvania if you're interested in a new set. When it comes to price, you can expect to pay a little over the $150 mark for these headlights. This is right in line with most other headlight options for the Fox body at this time, and these do come with a full one year warranty. And adding bulbs can cost another $40 or $50 depending on what brand you choose. When it comes to the install, you can plan on spending an hours time, and this is gonna be a one outta three wrenches in the difficulty meter. One thing I would consider doing is sealing the new headlights along the housing edges just to make sure you won't have any condensation issues later on. To start the install, you need to pull your stock headlights out and save the attaching nuts because you'll need them for the new headlights. Once the headlights are out, I would suggest cleaning up the headlight buckets while you have access. Next, you'll need to splice in the new connectors. Just take your time with the wiring and make sure you have solid connections. I'd recommend soldering in the connections and heat shrinking and taping everything back up once you're done. You can get your bulbs into the sockets, whether you're reusing your old bulbs or installing new ones. Slide the headlight into place and reinstall the nuts. The install will be the same for both sides, and then you're just looking at needing to adjust the headlights. You're gonna wanna make sure that the headlights are still gonna be accurate at night. You just need a Phillips head screwdriver for the adjuster to get the bulbs pointing where you need them to be. All right guys, wrapping things up here with the Axial black one-piece headlights. These are headlights that'll fit 1987 to 1993 Mustangs, and you can check them out more online right here at americanmuscle.com.
