Very, I agree on the stock headlights having the turn signals look more similar to the '70, but the fact they are on the inside makes it kinda a push if you will.

But yes, the big headlights help balance the big fog lights which makes the car look better overall.

I am not worried about the location and more with what flows with the car better. But to each his own, I will buy mine with the regular headlamps, but as long as people are buying this car and it outsells the Camaro, then its a win for me and the Blue Oval Gods.:flag:

I get pretty bored at work and have time to make these pics:D

and yeah the lights are beady looking, silver housed, crap.

And just so everyone knows; HID are the lights the oncoming traffic has at night that are ungodly brighter than anything necessary to safely light the path.

Bright yes. Ungodly so, I disagree. Also, the light is a much whiter color, almost blue. Much more appealing than the dim yellow everyone elses car will come with. :nice:

I may remove the fog lights as that red shelby looks great without them.

I probably wouldn't care so much if FORD had painted out the housing black instead of silver on the HID's. It just makes the car look cross-eyed to me. Now I'm having a hard time finding a GT Prem. in my area without the HID option. boo..

Yep, sure is ugly, what was I thinking? Better lights that still look fine? Better return it...

Is it just me or on ford's pics the housing looks actually black instead of the silver it is...Wich makes me wonder, since the HID do look good on pics where the housing is not silver, would it be paintable in black? anybody did it?

Personally, i really think it's a housing colour problem...cause from the front view, the hid's look good (we don't really see the silver...), but from the side...that's where it gets a bit untasteful...Black housing solution would really be nice! Keeps the car's flowing look.

I just noticed that the turn signals on the non-HID are inboard, and on the HID cars they are outboard. Interesting.

That said, I have them on my car (not by choice...I didn't order the car, but it had other crap I wanted), and I like them. They look great on a black car and they perform way better than non-HID.

As a safety/performance feature, the price is worth it. If you're all about the "look" of the car, I can think of other things to complain about. Like, the transmission being built in China.

I like the look of the standard better, but will order HID. I much prefer the better light output, whiter light, and the sharp cut off you get with projectors. Putting HID bulbs in standard housings is what causes that blindness to oncoming traffic. Projectors give you that sharp cut-off light that won't blind other drivers.
