Opinion on headlights please!

Sterling Mist 99 SE:

Black and Clear 1pc headlights or All Clear 1pc headlights...?
I would probably also choose the same color bumper light as the headlight.
I can not make up my damn mind! I need some opinions asap... If it matters, I plan on doing a CF hood, CF and/or black front lip

And chrisman, as much as I would love to spend $140 on new lights and then ship them to you and have $300 done on a retro fit, i just can't swing that right now

Good luck driving at night with those. The output is about 10x worse than stock.

You really won't be able to see at night lol But since you're gonna go with the black/CF look, go with black R34's and black bumper lights.

I like how you already mentioned me lol

Trust me man, I have been on retrofits-r-us 5x today, just showed the wife, but I think I'm gonna get the depot ae'ds from mightymax95... those are subtle and clean... I'll be sleeping on a retro fit for sure though man, it's just one of those things that ya want real bad, but at the same time the least of your worries, ya know? Love the work by the way, mad professional...

With Sterling Mist, either black or chrome works.

But, since you said you're gonna throw some CF on there, I'd go with the black headlights and black/smoked turn signals as Chris mentioned.

Thanks guys, since you'll scared me about not being able to see, i definitely am buying the 97-99 depo/depot? ae'd headlights, very clean and oem with that subtle black break up in the middle between the headlight and the corner light... just enough.

And as far as the bumper lights go, I like the "smoke", but I can't really tell the difference between the smoke and the black, but I'll assume the smoke is a little lighter than the black in person... thanks again for the details guys I appreciate it!

i got the black r34s and the light output is terrible. it took a few months but i came across some j30 projectors for $20 and thru them in there. light output is a waaaay better even without hids. then i got some black housing bumper lights to match. hids coming soon.
