Default Halo/LED Headlights

I'm looking for some halo/LED headlights with all black background. What's the best sight to find them and what's the best brand?

Get the OEM 2013+ headlights and do a retrofit. It will have 1000x better output than the spyder type housings. I got the spyders and I am now doing a retrofit on them I wish i got the quality OEM. Here is a link to the OEM housings on theretrofitsource by far the best place to get any HID products and service.

Or just get the halogen lamps and do a retrofit on those for less than the cost of non upgraded OEM HIDs.

Which headlights did you get exactly? I want that LED "C" Tube and saw these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191348438918?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Those still use a halogen bulb. If you're going to stick to halogen that's a fine option. If you want to use hids then you'll have to either retrofit that housing or use the oem housing I linked to earlier. You can also look at having somebody do the retrofit for you. Bilinvic or raptor retrofits both do a good job. Personally I purchased spyder housings and I am in the process of retrofitting quality projectors from trs into them. That's your best bet. Cheapest and if something goes wrong you know who to blame. Really the only option to get a nice light output is oem or a retrofit with quality projectors. If you need any help deciding just email somebody at the retrofit source.com

Thanks for the responses. I've never done any retrofitting. What's my best option for a straight swap, with all black housing and good output?
