Default Headlights for retrofit

ok so now that i have the repairs from inspection paid off i can get new headlights to start throwing my retrofit together but i'm debating on what ones. I need the clear lens's for it mainly, cause the oem ones block way too much light. i'm leaning to the OEM style but i don't know how they would look with the stanley corners, i have seen black housing with them and they are nice.
**Remember this is only for the lights, not the corner lights**
first or second ones?

- they'll both look good, I just like clear headlights and red tail lights, minimize the amber

id say black cause if you modify them internaly you can simply paint the black and it would still look good....

i say if you are keeping your unpainted front lip then get hte black housing, but i really think you should paint your lip to match, in which case the OEM style would look better, so they got my vote

Flip i'm not painting my lip, And since addiction said the black i thiink i will go with the OEM style i kid i kid, i dunno yet, i was all about getting the black ones, cause the OEM style were $99 on procarparts.com, but i found them on ebay for $96 shipped, so they are about the same price shipped as the back ones. so.... yeah... now i don't know what i want lol

In one way i think that teh black will stand out too much, but i have seen black housings with Stanley corners and it is pretty sexy.
