New headlights soon! Opinions needed!!

ok so this is how my car stands today. DIY BOH....i tried cleaning them but its still not cutting it for me. Im tired of them. Id like to get a new OEM set and redo them ina different style but no luck finding oem ones in good condtion for a good price.



So im thinking to just go with the ones from Freestyle Motorsports...

However they have two options..

Gunmetal Housing


or Black Housing



What do you think I should get... any other opinions or suggestions welcome.. let me know guys? I like the black housing personally but im open to anything else u guys got to say!

I think the black housing would be good. The gunmetal looks almost similar to the ones you have right now.

Re: New headlights soon! Opinions needed!!

i think the amber only looks good if you diy boh and leave the whole area under the amber piece chrome. which you could do to the clear headlights if you open em. im not a fan of unpainted tezza grill, i think silver lip would look better. and idk, if the rest of your car is stock, i would stick with clear headlight. boh isnt gonna be dark enough to match that grill, and gunmetal isnt really gonna match anything. i think you need a theme for that like maybe with bronze rims.

well idk, i kinda went through alot of style and the clear really looks nice with that grill,



and heres what i was talking about with diy boh and amber piece with chrome under the amber so it doesnt look too dark. i liked this look, but it was too "old school" and clear reflectors are more modern. i didnt like this either due to the sidemarker never matching the front amber

Re: New headlights soon! Opinions needed!!

yea man when i first did my BOH, those were the oens that came with the car and i had no others so..whatever happend happend. i ended up sanding down the chrome under the reflectors by accidnet..liek i started and was like oh ****....so i couldnt do nothing else but finish the sanding and paint udner. if i coudl find another set of oem healdights id redo em the way i wanted but no luck. im really really not a fan of the clear healdights...my grill is suppose to be getting painted soon whenever i get the chance. i have thoughs on how i want the car to look its just that things come very slwoly for me.. i suck at modding.
