Default headlight opinions

I have a silver 02 SS. I want to do a true HID mod. I have all the equip from my last car. The projectors are BMW bi-xenons. The question i had is should i get the halo style lights with the "extra" "circle". Or use the stock lights just mounting the projector in the low-beam section.

The other thing i want to know is, if i do the halo lights, i can't decide black or chrome. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I like the halo look. Both colors would look good but I think the chrome would look better. But the is just my $0.02.

Black ones all the way! I have them on my ss and they have a real mean look. The chrome ones are imo to bling-bling for me.

camar0guy, i see what your saying. I just wasn't sure with putting the HID projector in the headlight, i thought the halo might clean up the look, however i was thinking if i mount the front of the projector where the halo is, the other section of the low-beam area won't really light. I just wanted opinions.

i like the black look of that, i think i might do that. do you think the projector is worth putting in? i sorta miss the very nice output of the true HID's.

I'd do it w/the black ones if i had a camaro, those look mean, and no offense to the halo guys, they are cool and all but they dont flow w/the hood very well and i wouldnt want to put true HID's in something that doesnt flow w/the lines well
