Stock, you can open the headlight by warming it in an oven and the front plastic will come off (most headlights). Rebond after.

Don't expect perfect fitment with any of these options though.

I vote retrofit. Blackhousing and retro would be cool. Don't buy some craptastic ebay projectors, the output blows.

Eww... whats with the 5 little lights above the 3 main lights in both #1 and #4?

If we had to select one of those four, I'd choose #2 and vote for a retro as well.

I think you should go #2 and you'll be happy in the long run, or get a retro done ranging from $800-$900 after parts and labor.

Customlightz.com has like $300 tops if you provide the lights

i vote #2. and if you considering paiting the inside black on the stock ones that DON'T have projectors you will end up losing the reflectiveness on the housing and therefore making your overall light discharge weak. go retro

I honstly say 'As stock as you can get'... Some of that aftermarket **** gets pretty disgusting to look at after a while. I will say SOME of it looks good, but the rest of it I could swear off the earth. Japan gets most of the looks! Hahaha
