Go with stock replacements, neither of those are worth the money IMO...

get the first ones you posted.
The second ones have a crappy high beam (the "projector" part) and is no way worth the extra $100 cost. The SVT style have great light output even using cheap bulbs (most come with basic sylvania bulbs, and work just fine).

I actually have the first ones. They look great and work well. Have held up well with no moisture for a couple years now. Worth the price imo

Get ready to **** off oncoming drivers and get flashed a lot. I *detest* aftermarket HID's in halogen housings. They're annoying, distracting, and dangerous. (And if I was a LEO, every vehicle I saw that had them would get a fix-it ticket.)

That rant over with, I'm faced with the same decision, and am leaning toward the black Lightning look-alikes.

Continuation, -I hate that, these people have absolutely no consideration for others. Could seriously hurt or even kill others on the road. I think they should be jailed, have their license revoked and fined heavily. Once you've been blinded form someone running those, your blinded for a good length of time. So much so any disaster can happen.

Amen to that sentiment! I swear this is not patrolled anymore here. It should be part of our annual safety inspection, IMO.
