Default not sure what i want to do... headlight opinions!

ok currently im running a set of baked and painted headlights, but i want something with a little more contrast now so im thinking of going with the anzo projectors and putting an eyelid over the led strip or what not. if it were up to yall, would u get another set of factory headlamps and DIY halos, smoke the corners (not the whole lights) and HIDs, OR go with the anzos, cutoff mod and smoked corners? BTW ill be doing 3000k HIDs with my VRDs to accomodate.
below is what im riding on now and will be selling :-)

i got the anzos, and I'll let ya know now, that without mods to the cutoff light lumination is low. Im running anzos in plain form with eyelids and silverstar bulbs. lights still suck for night time rain driving.

If I could Id do a cutoff mod with HIDs and have fogs with HIDs. lol "my oven's bake option is broken and I dont have the guts to bake it myself. lol"

in one the anzo threads i forgot who said it (i think noodles or yanki01) said that the dimensions of the anzo projectors are diff from the tsx and would need some work to make them fit. I would have no idea what projectors would be the easiest to swap out.. be nice though

and yes.. operatic is the man.. ordered both my sets from him.. he has a thread going in classifieds section
