Default Rice or Not?

Are these headlights ricey or am I imagining things... Damned ricers **** it up for everyone. These headlights are actually cool but I am not sure if they look right on my car. Any suggestions? My headlights are faded and hideous and have poor lighting so I am on the fence. Here are the headlights. I appreciate all the comments! Sorry you dont like the hood (some of you) but it gets more compliments in person...

Keep the headlights and dump the ground effects.

I could be wrong but...that style of light came from German cars...not Japanese. I don't even think they eat rice over there.

i just installed those on mine a few days ago, the fitment was excellent and they look awesome. they even came with a set of bulbs for the high and low beams, great deal if you ask me. i like the halos, but to me painted stockers flow better with the lines in the hood. but do whatever you like, i dont think halo's are rice though

The headlights look awesome, but one question..... why the Pontiac (style) hood and rear wheels (on the drag set up) on your perfectly good Chevy?
