2003 Headlights

I found a source to get the headlights. My Question is this:
If you look into the 03 and up headlights either just Halogen or Zenon can you tell any difference. I know these look like projector type but is there any difference in apprerance only between the two? I guess what I am after is the look of the 03 but not spending the extra 800.00 for zenons. I love the clearness of the light but need to know if I get the halogens will I still be ok.

In the day time the clear halogen 03'

Will look pretty much the same as the 03' Xenon, unless you turn them on. Especially at nite they will be noticeably different ....

2003 headlight source & installation

I found a guy out of Miami, Peter Leon, that sold and installed the updated Xenon 2003 lights that I have been very pleased with. He travels some and we were able to meet in NYC where he installed them in the parking lot in 20 minutes. He is very knowledgeble on '03 upgrades. He can be contacted at pleon008@yahoo.com.
