Debating between various headlight mods

I equally favor both, so I'm looking for a third opinion:

Stock...

Black Housing...

Blackout...


Regardless of which style I choose, I plan on doing an HID retro
w/ 4300K bulbs (no kits and none of that 8K shit).
Hopefully this will compensate for any loss in output if I decide on blackout.

I say blackhousing, and keep the chrome rings. It would also go with your chrome emblems/window trim.

we should poll this one...

I'd say blackout's since your tails are the same.

First time around I just taped up the body and used some night-shade/clear coat/wet sand. It was alright, but I was offered a killer deal to get them done professionally. That's what you're looking at right now.
