I have owned a bunch of Mustangs over the years, but in 2000, my Mustang GT had head lights with a clear lens like our Cobalts. In 2001, Ford used the same exact headlight, but put a smoked lens on it. It was a huge improvement.

I thought about changing my head lights so that the internal chrome is black, but that is not the problem with our head lights. I can live with the chrome internals, but the exterior lens needs to be smoked instead of clear.

Does anyone make Cobalt head lights with a smoked lens? I am not talking VHT. That is just too dark. If you know new edge Mustangs, then you know what I am talking about. Even my wife's Mazda 6 has a bronze type lens and it looks good. Anything but clear.

 

um just to let you know the ss lenses are tinted slighty compared to a stock cobalt...

 

Very lightly tinted, it's more of a hue of darkness. It's hard to even notice unless you have both headlights in front of you.

 

Just get them professionally done.

 

i can do them

 

get a pro to tint them with like 87%

 

haha why would u want tinted headlights? lol

 

Whyyoumadson, how much?

 

^ im not doing it. though i bet with retros it would be ok, not so much with the stock housings

 

I don't think it would look bad with the stock housing.

 

id be worried about light output.

 

HID's lol

 

^ Pro

 

Have a paint shop smoke the lenses

 

with a professional job, the light loss will be minimized. Have whyyoumadson? do it. It won't be cheap, but he does top notch work. But op, why not just paint the chrome parts black? It's looks tinted that way, but you don't lose light output.

 

They make a smoke tint VHT like product. A guy at my old job did his with it I thought it factory . I sadly don't remember the name . I am looking to do the exact same thIng with my car just a light smoke not blacked out.
If you go thru with this post some pics .

 

vht blows dogs for quaters.

 

I agree. I want smoked molded plastic. Just about every other car has stock or aftermarket smoked plastic lens. We have such a limited aftermarket for our cars.

 

Pm me. Im not a vendor.my recommendation is do gloss black housings with a tinted lense...looks extremely dark but because the lense wont have a super dark tint the light output will look great. Thanks for thecp comments everyone. I did tails for tommy they came out great imho. No vht here
