Default 1993 Mustang 5.0 coupe One Piece Headlights???

I'm wanting to change out my factory headlights on my 90 5.0 convertible lx. They are well weathered and starting to get a bit foggy. I noticed on ebay they now have 1 piece headlights?? Has anyone bought these? If so how did they fit? Are they a better upgrade then the origanal 3 piece? Thanks for your input..

I saw these on another website and I did not like the way they look. The website I saw them on which I cannot remember the name also said that the bulbs were included for your convienece but they recommended upgrading to a better bulb. The site also advised to put silicone around the seals so that they would not leak or fog up . If they are all made like this then it does not sound like very high quality.

Ya, the hole 1 piece seems a bit iffy to me as well.. Their seems to be some nice 3 piece headlights out there now, instead of stock.. Thanks again for your input!!

Default one piece headlights

I was gonna buy these too, but there were too many issues with the one piece construction, so I bought the 3-piece set of 'APC' projector headlamps and they are great and fit tight and right.

Here's a picture of some, they look good but tend to leak. I'd wait until they improved them or get the 3 piece kit. Hope you have better luck with those APC lights, Vinny, they tend to leak too.

Default One piece...

I got some one piece headlights off of ebay for cheap...I am not happy with the way they look. I don't know if it's because car is red or what but, they look too big, too cheap, and project the light in a blur. I would recommend a 3 piece. These lights on this white car look better than on my red.
