2 years of shroudless projectors, help me choose please!

Well, I've been running 4300k HID with FX35 projectors that kzoosho retroed for me back in December 2008 and I never got the shrouds due to economical reasons but time passed by and I never bought shrouds. I was on a road trip recently and took pics and thought since I had some of those recent pics handy, I could get some suggestions from some of the more knowledgeable guys here

I want something that'll look as if it were OEM for the car, I dont want big flashy, cheap, aftermarket looking in these headlights. If you're going to recommend some, please do so with a picture and description. Thank you guys!

Here's the most recent pics, if more needed please let me know

I wish you had some closer pics of the lights but my favorite to use on bixenon projectors are the e46 replica bezels, they are a fairly good price and the best looking on single projectors imo.You can get them on ebay for around $35 shipped.

Thanks, here's another one I found after searching a good while through this computer. I may have better ones on my other computer but if anything, I'll just take more focused pics tomorrow.

E46 shrouds are the best.

This is what mine used to look like:

Are you using um?

Do these look like the "correct" E46 shrouds?
