Default Opinions for Headlights

I am looking to get new headlights to give my truck a better look. Currently I replaced the foglights with halo projecters. The headlights I'm planning on getting are from ebay.

These are the headlights:

Option 1:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-FORD-F150-PICKUP-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-BLACK-HEADLIGHTS-CORNER-LAMPS-PAIR-XL-/141362379974?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AF-150&hash=item20e9dabcc6&vxp=mtr
Option 2:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271542791405

Option 3:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-F1...fb4d0e&vxp=mtr

If any of you have more suggestions than that to make my truck look better, it would be very appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't get anything with little leds in them they like to burn out I'd go with the first ones or look up lightning headlights they come in black and chrome

#1 100%

Please don't put PNP HIDs in them not only is it illegal they blind incoming traffic. Put a good halogen bulb in them or do a projector retrofit in them.

Yes I have had PNP kits in my heads before and after having projectors I will never again. I curse people everyday that have them now.

Why not polish the ones you've got? They look fine when they're not faded over like yours.

I second these, don't care for the ones that come to a sharp point in the bottom corner.

Here would be one more advantage to you as I bought with AE with Free shipping option they provides but on ebay I need to pay additional shipping charges ($50-$60) over product cost.
Do not buy any of those crap 1 piece projectors they don't fit right, the leds burn out, and light output sucks and don't get anything with a smoked lens either

I have appreciated all of your suggestions and guidance. I think I will stay away from the LEDs to make sure it doesn't look overkill. I have decided to stay away from the full orange strip and go with these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-03-FORD-F-150-F150-SVT-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-HEADLIGHTS-CORNER-LIGHTS-BLACK-/131166244028?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AF-150%7CSubmodel%3ALightning&hash=item1e8a1e0cbc&vxp=mtr
What do y'all think?
