Grrrrr.... I am beating myself up here! Help me choose!
OK... So I got them gay factory chrome headlights... as opposed to the smoked ones... I have a black car so I want black/smoked headlights! I have been looking on eBay lately as I have money in PayPal, (the sticker buisness has been booming... no thanks to YOU guys!
), I am torn between factory smoke lights (not on eBay right now), or the 2 in the links below... I really want the ones with the black AND the smoked... but they are a $60 difference! [:'(] Is it worth it or should I get the other ones and smoke them myself... also what is the best way to smoke them?? Tint or spray?? I am looking for an EXTREMELY clean, factory look! No ghetto fab on this car! HELP ME CHOOSE PLEEEEASE!
Or do you think the clear corners are GAY and I should just get the factory smoked lights when the become avail? And no... I dont want to get the stupid stickers to put over the yellow lines![:'(]

Black no smokey: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...;rd=1&rd=1
Edit... or should I go with the American Muscle l\smoked with clear corners?

They both look the same? I would have to say the black with no smokey cause they look a little better even though both links look a like lol. I also have the ****ty looking chrome ones and I am getting my head lights from American Muscle because I have heard that the ones on eBay fog up because they are not properly built.

Whoops I'm stupid. I see the difference now. The corners are smoked in the one and not in the other lol. I would deff get the black non smoked. They look good.

Be careful buying those headlights.. I bought them and sealed them twice with silicone once out of the box and once about two months later after the left one filled up with water. Just make sure you seal them really good out of the box..

dude the lights posted are the same. it is just different lighting. they do't make smoked lens headlights for our cars. and if you plan on going HID do not get the aftermarket ones. they suck with HIDs!. i had these lights before. they look really good, but the lighting quality sucks ***. i had mine for about a year and they never fogged up. lucky i guess. mine were made in Taiwan. the ones that americanmuscle has are pretty much going to be the exact same things on ebay.
just buy some OEM ones.

I got mine from American Muscle and the rubber edge started ripping at the frontpoint of the fender just a couple of months after I got them. I had a hard time getting the collar to lock in the bulbs, so I pushed and twisted it then the black inside part dropped in a little and scratched the lense.
