Default Headlights.

So im ordering a pair of headlights for my birthday coming up and i just got a quick question. I really like the smoked style light and i think it'll really look good with my truck. Just finished putting spray on bed liner on rockers and bumpers this weekend (Ill put pics up once i finish the rest of the project ) These are the heads i found:

Basically my question is, are they any good or is just a waste of money?

I have those exact lights, I think from the same seller too, they look really good and I like the halos but they are not bright... and they stick out a lot, a word of advise pay the extra money to get the HIDs, you won't regret it

Would i be able to just put an HID conversion kit in sometime down the road with these? And im assuming by stick out you mean there not an exact fit, is it noticable or look funny?

no you cant use an HID kit with those lights thats why I went with normal black housing. The HIDS are too hot for the halos and will burn it. Plus they dont fit lol.

These are what I got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

I have HID's in my heads

I'd go with what nitewolf has and yes by stick out I mean that the lights come out farther than the grill but they don't look bad

I wish you good luck. I talked to 7 different companies about HID's in their projectors and they said they won't work with it so they recommended the clear lense black housing like I bought.. but if it does work then WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO

Hmm well i do really like the smoked look if anyone knew of a good pair i'd greatly appreciate it but those do look pretty slick. My truck is all Black/Blue i'd post pics but i don't wanna give any suprises away while i'm still not done my project
