headlamp dilemma!!!

guys

i'm having a problem deciding which headlamps to go with. i've got the stock lamps on now, but need to change them desperately.

the crystals look good, the euro style looks quite good too, and then you get the projectors(black). they look awesome...on the shelf... but what about on the car?

does anyone have pics of these or other aftermarket headlamps?
please help me decide. i'll also post a few pics of the car currently in case it might influence your advice to me.

certain lights look goods on certain colours
please bear in mind that i want to change the grille and put in a flat hood emblem too
thanks

bekkers Xenon headlight assemblies are the nicest in my opinion. They look exactly the same as the stock xenon headlights on C43s. Not much of a change when they are off but cool purplish, white color light beam when its on. However they are the most expensive, about 1300 for both , including the clear euro side blinkers, complete assemblies and bulbs. i dont really like projector style. I dont think these cars meant to be built for such style. Light package was an option for these cars for 700$ extra which gives you low beam xenons and headlight washers(those cool small vipers) but no one really bothered paying the extra money for them other than some of the C43 owners.

if you're a light fanatic i recommend you retrofitting your own headlights. this is mine, it took a lot of time and money.

clear is cool but black is Hot!

Get the clear ones. I also put a silver rim around them from ebay.
I have a pic of mine if u wanna C??

Actually, if you keep the grill black it would look good with the black projector lights too, my clears go good cuz mine's silver..
