Are they good at night, do they light up the road any better? They look good like something off of an Audi or BMW! I wonder how they are on a dark country road with some PIAA lights behind them!!

I don't like the projector lamps they don't look good on an older fox. The new and the old just don't look good together sometimes. Although I do like the diamond cut headlamps.

I have heard bad things about them. Cobra clears outperform them. Check 50resto.com for prices.

I would be interested in hearing from someone that has them whether they are better as well.

Like I said this is what I've heard, never tried them myself.
Just a couple of quick quotes for you.

Here's an earlier thread on the subject of lights: http://www.californiafords.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=011370#000003

Mine are considerably brighter than stock, and the light is more focused on where I am looking. For a while I had 100W blue bulbs and the projectors are way brighter, even with less watts.

I have the projectors on my 95 mustang and I love the look with the lights on and off. Unfortunately, they aren't that bright. I would recommend cobras. Especially in the rain, I can barely see.

I got the projector lights on my fox body. purchased them from latemodel restoration. I really like the lights how they look. people always notice them at shows and they are crystal clear but as far as better visibility not really except for the fact you get an extra light.. so there is more light but not much. i think there more for show.. I'll have my car at the show on the 28th if you want to check out the headlights. its a purple coupe you can't miss it.

I would go with these instead of the projectors. They look 10 times better. The projectors look import and these look real good.




See I think the first ones look way better and they are only $170 as apposed to the projectors are $290. Then all you need to get is the diamond cut corners and parking lamps.

Park lamps


Sidemarkers

I've got them on my 96'. Way brighter than any aftermarket bulb I bought at kragen, I tried a few different kinds too. I say projector.
