Default Which headlights should i go with?

I want to replace my old OEM, and want black housing headlights and so far these are the only options for me, even though i hate the halos..

How about the Wicked Witch? They both look about the same to me, just different pictures.

They are the same i think

Come with New design for LED city light, Halo and projector light!!.Direct bolt on. PLEASE APPLY STOCK LIGHT BULBS FOR Installing these headlights IF LIGHT BULB IS NOT INCLUDED Easy to install, But Professional Installation Highly Recommended!!

the picture is really black but u can see the bulbs in it still.. make sure u get a better picture if u buy it..

i bought a pair and just used them to take the clear cover off and retrofitted to my OEM headlights.. better idea you might want to think about.. or buy supermades.

Another option would be to refurbish your existing housings, and repaint the insides black, then get the supermade lenses.

^how much are those lenses and where can i get them?

i'm pretty handy with a dremel, so i might do this.


also, does the refurbing process u mentioned involve heating the housings in an oven to remove the old lenses?

LOL...This is true Supermade lenses are not cheap and since you have them open might as well do a TSX projector conversion.

You know it! I have the following waiting for my time.
Set of xenon HID prejectors in SC adaptor mounts ready to drop in
set of upgraded city light mini projectors
set of supermade lenses
set of pristine OEM lights to mod

Then I have the set of lights pictured above with the halo rings

Thinking about tearing them apart to do a combo of several things.
WHAT TO DO?

I have a full aftermarket chrome projector headlights on mine. I have been using them for a while now and will say to you from my experience to stick with the original OEM ones. Infact get the full set from Scott (ScottURnot), he has got the clear glass installed on them and they look very pretty and also saves you from all the hassle from the the less build quality of the aftermarket ones.
