ONETrueSaturday Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just bought and fitted these new headlamp units with the black edging instead of the chrome, quite like the black contrasting with the white. Not really seen many Fiestas with this, seen one in Tenerife the other week, is this a European thing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The black surround headlamps are fitted to the lower end models, style and studio I believe. They only use one bulb as opposed to two on the chrome suhrround ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Also the black ones don't have the projector lens (is that what it's called?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the black ones don't have the projector lens (is that what it's called?) No idea mate. So have I potentially downgraded my headlamp unit performance without the projector lens??

The black headlights are off of the povvo spec models. GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 As said already. They are a downgrade in quality... but I agree they look much better from outside the car. I havea little project soon.... watch this space ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coysht Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Projectors give a stronger beam but a worse spread of light. Personally I'd prefer the standard reflectors and they would be better down a dark country lane, but the projectors do look good and I can't justify the cost to replace perfectly good lights.
