Default Headlight Question

Should I get just HID's or should I get Halo Projector lights? this is pretty new to me.
What looks better or do they make them together? Where is a good place to get them? I like the way they both look.

both are an option. What my confused friend is trying to say is that HIDs tend to look better in a projector housing. Using the halogen reflectors tends to make the light go every where and blind people. Projectors tend to reduce the glare by a good amount.

Would these be good or would I still have to get HID's? I am also looking for the fog lights too so thats why they are on here.

those headlights are iffy. not the best cut off for HIDs. HIDs are another $140 if u get it from one of the sponsors and they look pretty good if u get the 2008 OEM projectors as well.

If you want to order the 08 OEM headlights the best place to go is trdsparks.com The HIDs u can get from MobileHid or Operatic in the sponsored sales section. You will need a 9006 kit with h11 bulbs.

I'd say go with the '08 projectors and the HID's. I not a big fan of halo's on cars that don't bring them from factory.
