Right now I have stock headlights with clear corners. I like the way black looks with my black fascia, so I'm deciding on which headlights would look better... What do you think?

Clear:

Tinted:

Black Covers:

Black Projectors:

Okay okay, so MOST everyone likes the projector look. ANd with HID's I think they look sick. 6000k sounds about right.

What are those, 18's, 20's? That's some weight (though I"ll admit, they look decent for stockers), bigger engine, tripled "trunk", added suspension... I'm thinkin' two GPs worth... maybe 2 1/2, hehe

The last pic looks familiar :razz:

. You know what my vote is. I am running 5000K HIDs in the projectors. It gives it the OEM look.

I already said that from clubgp.com. What heck.. I'm going copy and paste then. :grin:

Honestly, I like the way you have now.

I know I will get lot of disagree. It seems everyone is now HID projectors whore.

My stock headlight with clear corner is good enough for me. I work night shift since 2001. My stock light bulbs aim is pretty good. It is clear enough for me. Like I say in other post... all HID projector owners are blind lol

<---- Blind, and on my way to getting projectors. I more just like the look than the light output, though you really can't go wrong with a brighter road.

I would say get black projectors and have flip lightly tint them and throw in a cheap set of HID's. Either that or be the first one to bake em and take em apart to get rid of the chrome side marker!

in my opinion projectors are ugly they look like something youd find on a spaceship or something. IMO go with the blackouts they do wonders on a silver car. i took mine off and sold them for a pair of clear orners and kicked myself everyday for it lol the only problem with blackouts is if your headlights are croked just a little bit it will show and the cover wont fit right

So...did you ever do this? I've been considering this myself, but I'm worried about the quality of the projectors as far as gathering condensation.
