Lightbulb new headlights!

i want some new headlight but am not sure which ones to get i was wondering what all yall though about them. i kinda like the halo headlights but am not positive they are what i want. i have a white truck with chrome wheels and want to keep thet good clean look. let me know what yall think and post pics if yall have them. thanks!

and another think, i dont want that amber reflector or the yellow turn signal

i think the black housed headlights look the best, i cant really stand the projector headlights with the halos/leds. If they made them with just the projectors that would be cool.
So my vote is just for the black housed lights but im not sure if they would go with your overall theme of your trcuk. maybe if your up for the challenge, try painting your bezels white to match the truck, tha would look really clean.

I agree, get some like I have and buy some stealth turn signal bulbs off ebay. Then you wont have any amber colors at all.

yea i agree that it would look kinda weird with just black heads, but other then the chrome projectores there isnt much else out there. and the chrome projectores are the cheapest looks headlights ive ever seen IMO. i would either keep the stock heads and get and hid setup or paint the bezels white.

I have a set of OEM ones for sale, you could buy those and paint them white inside and then use those?

^ you could always go that route. OEM lights are pretty inexpensive and if you get some others then you can taake you old one and try painting them, and if you dont like it then you still have the other set. But if you really like the projector light then get them man.

yea if you take them apart you really need to make sure that you reseal them really well. A lot of guys have done them with awesome results. I dont have that kind of patience to do anthing like that. But if your not up for the task then just buy some chrome projectors, thats your only other option really.
