I like both, but I think the gunmetal ones would look better with your tint. GL

Gunmetal, and clean up those headlight lenses for god's sake! At first I wasn't sure if I was looking at pictures of your car with the gunmetal housings until I saw the OEM ones to compare to. Mcguires makes Plastix, which is made for repolishing foggy headlight lenses, and it works great.

But yeah, go with the gunmetal

i voted for oem they look much cleaner... but if u decide to go with the gunmetal dont use blue bulbs... they look tacky just get some white bulbs or some hid's but the lens looks blue in the first pic yukk

take a look at all the "my car got stolen today" topics
and tell me if you want more bling for your ride?
I know that you might think it looks all mac daddy but chances are your not the only one.
i would rather keep the low profile and know my car will be there in the morning.

The oem's look clean, while the gunmetal look dirty and cloudy. If that's how they look even when their cleaned, then i'd say the OEM'S.

96-98 OEM headlights look terrible in my opinion.

The orange on the corner light is just hideous looking.

I'm kind of leaning towards OEM b/c they remind me of SiR headlights (the chrome housing) which I love!

Well I actually like the 96-98 lights better. And btw you can take the orange out of the light fairly easily.

to original poster; I like the oem light better just because it fits better on a silver car. It looks like ur car has a black eye or something wierd I dunno. The black looks awesome on a black car tho.

heres mine with 96 light with no orange
