Jake (BA Mustang) did this chop for me almost two years ago...

It takes some time to get used to them like that. Right now when I see the pic my eyes are doing this

I think it looks better. One of the reasons i opted out of the HIDs is because i liked the way the stock ones were arranged better.

Reminds me of somebody whose eyes are too far apart and pointing in different directions.

Do not want.

Looking at the title of the thread I thought you meant with them pointing in instead of out...

Probably would look better that way.

I also prefer the look of the regular headlamps... the turn indicators just look a lot nicer to me.

The HIDs look better to me anyhow. Also here in Europe most USA cars do not have indicators on the fender while all of the European vehicles do have them. From a saftey standpoint the side indicator is very useful. So I prefer at least the blinkers are on the corners so that a car driving directly along side left or right will notice if I put on a blinker. Not quite a wrap around but its in a good location and it looks great to me (blinkers and HID light).

+1. I'd love to have the lighting, but to me the arrangement looks weird on the GT w/fogs. Looks a little better on the V6 and Shelby but I still prefer the regular lights.

I agree it looks a tad more main stream than the factory AND i think the stock headlamps look better with the fogs than the HID lamps .. that said i could not get away from the look the hid's give at night with the different shade of blueish white. (yes i know you can do the colored bulb thing but i had little luck with the life of those bulbs burn out quicker) So thats why i opted for my first real car with real HID's we will if i like them when the car gets here around Xmas LOL

I think the lights look better as they are, with the turn signal lamps on the outside. Just makes them a bit more noticeable.

Perhaps when Ford designs the next-generation Mustang it will have HID lights standard. Then they can design the front end around them and it will look natural, instead of the HID's looking like an aftermarket adaptation. To my eyes, small lights in a big housing does not look good.
