Yeah I am going with rushbuster neither of those are that good, definately not my style. But if you like them I would say the bottom ones. If anything you should just black out your OEM headlights.

Better option:

"Blacked out" OEM headlamps.

one thing that should be mentioned about these projector headlights.
Unless you plan on upgrading to an HID lighting system you will hate the fact that the projectors don't really light up the road like the OEM headlights.

I went through all of the headlights available for the 7th gen and none of the projector headlights have a good field of vision like the OEM or OEM style headlights UNLESS you upgrade to HIDs.

But looking back...i would have just went with the JDM style gunmetal headlights that i have now or blackedout oem headlights.

but if you like the projectors go with it...the black ones.

As far as not seeing the pictures, it's because the site is blocked from my server at work, it's not the picture itself it's the site that hosts it.

Out of curiosity...does anyone have a picture of a blacked-out oem setup with lamps on at night? Maybe even more specifically with more bluish xenon/halogen bulbs? Id like to see what it looked like if I blackout out my current setup at nighttime...

it will look the same.blacking your headlights doesnt effect the light output. but it looks a whole lot better in looks.

how do i black them out dont want to bake them or anything.
I need to get new ones anyways because mines are fogged up. I also hate the yellow. I would like black/chrome.can i use factory bulbs on projector?

What type of HID do I get? Are they easy to replace the projector bulbs?

Here's how you get the Headlamps apart:

After that, just paint the section you want black, and re-assemble them. If you want black chrome, just use VHT tint spray on the chrome sections.
