Default Best HOUSING headlight setup?

What is the best functional housing? I'm not a big fan of aftermarket headlight setups, I don't like the "three eye'd" look, as I call it.. The center of the Halo ones seems to be looking up..

I don't want just a show headlight.. I want something that will focus well, and give me good range.

I'm really picky about a good set of headlights.. I found an HID Conversion to fit out 9006/9005 sockets...
