I think doing the "whistler" mod looks more complete then the store bought ones. Not a huge fan of halo's.

I'm giving my vote to the black-edged stock style... aka, the store-bought Whistlers. I actually like them better than the Whistler mod because the black is just on the edges, not all the way back into the headlight.
