Am I the only Focus owner that does'nt like the Mach's? They remind me of aftermarket MkVI Golf and Jetta headlights. The bulbs are just randomly put into the housing. No organization to them. You've got a hi-beam here, a signal there, a low beam here, and for the hell of it, we'll put city lights over there.

Soo, anyway, the lights I want, are the grey housing stockers that came on some 03 and 04 ZTS. My dad has them on his Focus. I think they would look alot better on the Kona, then these ugly chrome things.

i think we all do.


do you wanna buy some machs? I really shouldn't have bought the set I did


Hmmmmm ... how much? I really shouldn't either but ...

Oh also, o2, I think that's the first exterior styling issue I've ever disagreed w/you on. I love the machs when they're taken apart and painted body color, or highlight color to flow well, like if we got some twilight housing ones done up for our cars. I can see what you're saying with the arrangement of the bulbs though, I just don't like the incomplete look of those stock headlights, that "gap" in them. I'm stuck with chromes for now too ... damn.

I'm with Kyle. I don't care for them all that much. They are WAY to busy looking, plus the way it's set up with a GREAT low beam HID and a shiiiiiity normal high beam, seems 'cheap' to me.

I dunno not my bag I guess. Only cool thing about them is that they are HID. I guarantee if the ST170 was HID NO ONE would buy the machs.
