Nope....ugly. Go with a set of reproduction stockers, or Diamond Clear's if you want a little more modern. Anything else looks awful. Not to mention the one piece units are suposed to be next to impossible to adjust.
IMHO, the one piece units look ghey, and I think the repo stockers look the absolute best. I have seen some repo stockers that are smoked that look good on very particular cars.

The trick to pulling off smoked headlights.... is to have a b!tchen car.
But seriously, these were in the car when I bought it and I think they work great with the color. I would have never ordered them with out having seen them, but I love these. They guy that put the car together had good taste, IMO.

the lights are risky, dont want to ruin a perfectly good looking car. i'm atleast doing clear corners. diamond is not for me...
I immediately lose respect for any fox with 1 piece headlights...well, other than those 275 cars. Those are probably the only cars that could pull off those headlights.
The reason they make sense on a race car is because they don't have the seams to collect air/wind. In other words they're more aerodynamic. On a street car i don't even like clear marker lights anymore...give me the original classic headlight design. Everyone tries to over do it when they buy new lights...remember that most aero Fox's look like crap because the lights are old and look like crap. NEW lights look awesome, just go with stock replacements.
As aerodynamically limited as the Fox is, I would thing their ease of installation and the fact that they don't actually have to function has more to do with them being on race cars than anything. That and when they hit the wall, you've got that many fewer pieces to pick up.

While you're probably right, i was thinking more along the lines of how a lot of guys tape up the lines between the lights and the hood gap and all that. It's the fact that the Fox is not so aerodynamic that every little bit matters, especially if you're going 150+mph in the 1/4.
I had a set of 6pc clears from blueovalindustries.com and they were great. set off the car and they aimed fairly well. I bought a set of diamond clear euros because they were the fad a few years ago and I am sick of them already. I would go OE replacement or clear corner whatever your flavor is. The key to any headlamp is a decent bulb.
The head lights make no difference aero wise. We ran just as fast with the 6 piece set up as we did with 1 piece

I had 2 sets of Diamond ultra clears, could not keep the damn things from fogging up. So I went back to stock replacement and I definatly like the look of those best.

I like the look of Diamond clears myself. I cannot see any real aero benefit to one piece lights, and they are ugly besides.
I bought my car with the diamond clear lights in them. If I hadn't have seen them in person, I wouldn't have liked them. But they actually look really good....and give off a tonne more light than the stockers ever could.
