Post your custom headlights pics - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

MACHTASTIC · 08-22-2011, 08:07 AM

I've decided to get smoked aftermarket headlights.

I'm considering projectors but there aren't any I really like (that I've seen so far)

Post pics of yours to help me decide what to get.

Thanks!

Got mine from American Muscle and the drivers side does not fit perfect. Looks sweet, but be careful on the brand. Heard this is common on aftermarket HL. As usual, cheaper is not always better.

Small pic but they do look good

I've heard the ones from AM have a lot of condensation build-up. Even after sealing them.

Thanks for posting.

For one any aftermarket "projector" headlight you buy for these cars I don't believe are TRUE projector's.

You would have to custom make them. Either way I think anything other than smoked headlights look goofy.

I should've mentioned that I'm not interested in any with the halos. Smoked projectors are fine but no halo ones please.

smith30 · 08-22-2011, 02:29 PM

I dunno if anyone makes projector ones with no halos...at least I haven't seen any, other than ones people have custom made.

These are the ones I'm considering myself but am worried about the quality. Haven't heard too many good things about aftermarket headlights from American Muscle.

These projectors are the ONLY ones that I like so far.

I am not a fan of aftermarket projectors.. I tried a set on a dodge magnum I once had, and the quality of lighting was horrible, even with silverstar bulbs.

I like the silverstats in an OEM headlight, I changed the ones in my Mach to the silverstars, much brighter.

For looks, a simple tint overlay will do the job

Tinted OEM is what I currently have and wanted a more modern look with projectors. Not a lot out there that I like though.

Here is a pic of my Mach with projectors. Myself, I prefer factory style with HID's. But the thing I like about projectors is they are different than most.
