if everything works out with my transaction, i will be getting chrome TYCs and painting them black w/a green pearl (hopefully). then it'll be time to get some white angel eyes if they fit. i'll work something out.

Rep Power: 278 I have the first pair.. but both iris's cracked.. dunno how maybe just heat..
I think OEM blacked out is much better.. but whatever you like is what you should get..

Rep Power: 559 the TYCs (middle) are probably the highest quality headlights of those you posted, but i like the look of the matrix ones (1st) best because of just the 3 lights instead of 4. but matrix has(had?) fitment/leaking/fogging issues in the past, so its something to watch for. plus they have been known to be a bit dimmer than TYCs, but if you retrofit some audi HIDs or something im sure you can fix that problem.

Rep Power: 0 i actually have the first set now with HID's. i really like how they look but i've had problems with condensation and whatnot. most people say the tyc's are the best quality, but i dont know if i like how they look. and i would black out my stock headlights, but they got stolen. i like how the dual halo's look, but i dont want to deal with the same problems my current lights are giving me (single halo's). ugh...

Rep Power: 310 I bought the first ones for the simple 3 circle look, not because of the halo. If the 3rd set were out back then, I would have bought those because the 2 halos look good. I don't care if they light up or not, I didn't even wire mine.
All of them give lesser light output than stock headlights, unless you use the highbeam. the wannabe projector lens (the glass in the middle pod) only drowns out the light, aimed or not aimed properly.
Whichever ones you get, fill the spaces with household silicone where the clear plastic meets the black housing. Just so you save yourself the trouble if they do fog up.

how you manage to get your lights stolen? Dont you have to take off the bumper to get at em?
hmm perhaps zero alarm system?
