STOCK! Those replacements are WAY too expensive...Maybe consider retrofitting some projectors in the stock housings instead.

personally, i couldnt justify spending a grand on a new headlight setup, especially when they dont look that great, IMO... well i would, it would just be at the very bottom of my things to do list. if you really like them and have the funds, go for it. its nice to have something different.

IF i were to ever get one of those setups, i would do this: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/355941 - i LOVE the way his look, and i'd definitely take them over stock. they look a lot better painted to match the car, and without the plastic cover, that's the worst part about those different setups to me... with the exception of the price. the plastic just gives it a cheap look to me. which would be okay, if they were cheap

i voted stock, but those headlight conversions might not look too bad with some tint on them.
