Default Headlights...Halo or factory

Just wanting a few opinions and testimonials about headlights. I've been debating about wether or not I should replace my crappy looking stock headlights with Halo's or if I should stay with the stock and maybe do the whistler mod on those.

I've been concerned about the Halo lights leaking. I read one post a while back where a guy was having that problem. Has anyone else had problems with leaks on the Halo's? Thanks in advance for the help.

Those lights look nice, but I luv the way my black halos look. When I first bought them I thought they would look too ricer-ish but I get tons of compliments on them.

I like the stock better. They seem to flow with the lines of the hood better. MHO.
