I got a pair of smoked headlights from Mustangtuning.com and was wondering what you all think. I figured I would do a short little install guide to show how simple it was for all who haven't done a headlight swap before. I've always been afraid to upgrade lights as most look pretty ricey; hopefully these don't... I personally think it looks far better than stock. I snapped some pix with the stock lights, smoked lights and stock bulbs, and finally smoked lights with Stealth Bulbs... Enjoy :banana:

Where did you get the stealth bulbs? Do they light up yellow? Sorry, I'm out of the loop on this one. I have those same headlights and I think they look great especially with the stealth bulbs. Thanks

Looks good. Specially on a black Cobra.

+1 Lookin' GOOD! It changes the whole look of the front of the car and makes it look sooooo much better :beer:

Putting in 01+ smoked headlights was one of my favorite mods on my black Cobra. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the kind replies guys! I appreciate it. :beer:

Here are 2 more pix.. Since my car is all black I figured headlights with black housings was the only way to go.. IMO, the chrome didn't look too good with an all black car.

Nice... sweet car too. Question though: Are those lenses not smoked, or is it just me? I can obviously see that you got the black housings, but the lenses sure look just as clear as the stockers...

Also, have you considered going with the smoked fog lights as well? I would also like to know what you think of those stealth bulbs!

I think the 01+ are considered smoked, even the stockers. Its cause they have a darker background not the mirror/reflective. Im not 100% sure though.
