aftermarket lights

I wrecked my 2011 LX sedan yesterday. My baby is currently in the shop getting pretty much everything on the front end replaced: grill, bumper cover, fenders, etc. I figured since they'd be in there, maybe I could go ahead with a swap I had been wanting to make anyway, which is replace the headlights with something a little cooler. My car is black. I was hoping for some suggestions or ideas about what to go with, so instead of having the shop just replace with the parts it was gonna use, maybe I could give them some aftermarkets to use. Ideas?

Re: aftermarket lights

I would say go with stock headlights the output on the aftermarket head lights are usually not that great. Especially ebay ones they are poorly made and sealed. They use extremely cheap bulbs and LEDS to make it and apparently finding replacement is a pain in the a**. I had experience with Halo Projector (ebay) head lights and the LEDS went out in a year, then the plastic started chipping also fogging up on the inside. They did poor research when making the after market head lights.. if I were you I would just get OEM ones retrofit it or spray the inside to make black housing for a better look on it.
