Default Which Headlights to buy?

I am looking for custom headlights and want to replace my stock lights with the blue green tint. My concern is which lights are best to buy. I do not want to sacrifice my visibility. I have found some and was wondering if anyone used them before.

Anyone has some clear pictures with them on?

i'm almost positive that the OEM headlights will have better visibility than these will. best output would be to retrofit some OEM lexus/acura/bmw projectors into your original headlamps.

In my opinion, it depends on the color of your car. Generally if I have a light car, e.g. silver or white, I like to go with a chrome theme. If you have a dark car, e.g. black or platinum, I would go with a blacked out theme. This reminds me of the 2005 SC430 Pebble Beach Edition which had custom blacked out headlights on a black car on red leather. It was so hot.

My car is white and I really dislike the chrome with blue tint cover. I think black would look much better. How would I retrofit BMW or Acura lights?
