Default Going w/projectors Black or Chrome housing????

I think I'm gonna try the ebay projector headlights. I have seen some guys running them, but I need your guys opinions on it. Let me know your thoughts.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

What would look best on my SOM Z28.

Black housings


Chrome housings

Black just wouldn't flow with the rest of the car.

The chrome one's would look good.

I emailed the vendor that sells these. These are the new projectors made by Sonar Lighting Co. They use an H1 bulb instead of the H3 that the eagle eye projectors use. The eagle eye projectors were the first ones that came out. The H1 bulb is a better bulb. Let me know how you like these and post pics when you get them. I am thinking about getting them as well since I sold the eagle eye ones. I am curious to see if they have a cut off better than the first ones released.

nice, but they still have those damn leds on the side

I love those lenses, no nipples I might have to buy a set just for the lenses because I am so done sanding and polishing the stock ones...

I would like to see these installed or photoshopped on the car before making a final decision. That is lame that the company only has those pictures...they need more


Also, it looks like the bottom part of the black housed ones is chrome....maybe its just the photo

those are a little to rice for me. i like the single halo but those with the projectors are too much. however if choosing between the two the chrome really looks better in almost all situations.

I am hoping these new ones have a great cutoff, and have good coverage to the sides as well as in front.
