Question Feedback on these parts please.

i would like opinions on these parts
yes i know there is a search button so i dont need to be reminded and i've already gotten some of your opinions out there. so i've done my research now i need just the feedback if these parts are good/bad. this time i am more specific so it would help me alot if you told me if anything is wrong with these parts.
car: 2004 phantom gray camry le

SE black housing headlights


http://www.yourhotcar.com/productIma...c7d9_4027.jpeg
http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Custo...adlights/6262/
EDIT FOUND THEM AT AM-AUTOPARTS.COM
FOR 187.95 IS THAT WORTH IT?

Black Altezza Taillights


http://www.yourhotcar.com/productIma...5dc1_0473.jpeg
http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Custo...lights/530617/

9006 headlight heavy duty wire harness plug n play nokya $19

http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/All/B..._Nokya/532235/

done the search on headlights in the forum, no i'm not going to do projection retrofits, i cant do it myself so that's done. plans to swap out chrome ones for SE blackhousing. curious this will fit since i do have 3 lights drl, headlight, and turnsignal unlike later models with 4 lights with another small amber light.
plans to use black housing with either NOKYA, PIAA or HIR dunno havent decided yet still looking. therefore heavy duty wire harness, obvious a plus to get. going to get 9006 9005 and maybe 9005 for fogs depending. these harness arent crap rite?
taillights i can just straight swap with out any rewiring involved ? just plug the stock bulb in the piece? havent really seen the black insides only the chrome ones. not much i tell as far as installing them.
EDIT ANY IDEAS ON DARKENING TAILLIGHTS OTHER THAN TINT SPRAY PAINT?

also i am going to order from toyota part dpt
TRD strut bar $188 + tax
TRD rear sway bar $176 + tax
TRD lowering springs no longer avail
seen a few sites, most are with in the area of being $5-$10 cheaper but there's S&P so not really saving. any feedback on these? i know most of you camry owners have them so open to suggestions.

please give me any feedback/suggestion or links. how much did you guys pay if you did buy any of these? are these prices fair or is there cheaper? thank you .
edit: yea forgot about ebay enough said. just feedback please.

i would say yes on the blacked out OEM headlights, no on the tail lights. i dont think you will need the heavy duty harnesses. i have been running modified 9005's in my lights(9005 HIR's in the low beams and 9005 yellow nokya's in the fogs) for almost a year now with no problems of harness melting

edit: just go OEM for the headlights.. that seems pretty expensive for no name brand lights

No on the headlights (get OEM).

The taillights are ugly.

Headlights look ok, but not the tailights. There's a guy selling the TRD sway bar for $150 shipped, not sure if he has them for your car though..

They do have an extra light, but I heard that many people were able to swap them and do some splicing to get everything to work.

The headlights look very similar to the stock Gen 5 SE headlights, which is nice but they are way too expensive.
