Get the blacked out ones with clear lenses like mine. You get the blacked out look but the clear lenses let the light shine way better.

X2. The chrome lightnings are also a nice choice if you want chrome.

I love the look of the ones browning has(I have the same ones).. However, if you do alot of offrading/mudding stay away from them. Filled mine up with water last friday night. Idk why they left a small hole in the back side of them.

They're awesome with some Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs, better than plug and play HID's IMO since they don't glare in people's eyes
